Local Area UK Virtual numbers:
Local area virtual UK numbers are numbers that have
dialing codes that are relative to certain cities in the UK.
For example London's dialing code is
0207 and Manchester's
dialing code is
0161. With a virtual number you do not have
to be physically located in the City of London to have an
0207 number, instead the incoming calls to your virtual
number get forwarded to your existing number elsewhere in
the UK or abroad.
Local Area Virtual numbers are also known
as: UK City numbers,
regional numbers, geographic numbers, 01 & 02 UK Virtual
numbers. |

National UK
Virtual Numbers:
The same applies with national style virtual
numbers, such as
0800,
0844 and
0845 virtual numbers. Callers phone your number
thinking that you are a big national UK wide based company
and you calls get diverted to your existing phones in the
UK. Using a national style number can give your clients the
impression that you are a big nation wide company, that
isn't necessarily based in there own area, city or region:
National Virtual UK numbers may also be known as:
non-geographic virtual numbers, 0800 toll free numbers and
0844 / 0845 local rate virtual numbers.

Virtual numbers
offer a great way for companies both big and small to target their
clients geographically or nationally in the UK and give the business
impression that suits their desired image. Whether they want their
clients to think that they are based nearby in the same area or that
they are a big national company, virtual numbers can assist. Virtual
numbers are affordable, easy to use and can be setup quickly online.
Virtual numbers work on a simple
forwarding system. When a client calls a virtual number the phone call
gets forwarded to an existing phone number that has been specified.
Calls can be diverted to an existing landline, mobile, VoIP or fax
number at an office, call centre, home or mobile when on the move. Some
of the benefits are listed below:
Create a virtual local office.
Many people would like to dial services and businesses that are based in
their own area dialing code. Companies can use a virtual number to give
people the impression that they have a local office in their area. This
may lead to more sales as people believe that they are nearby them
rather than in another town and they are unaware that the calls are
being diverted to another area. If a company is based nearby or can
deliver your offering in the area this option might help to increase
calls in targeted areas.
National Office Image.
By using a national number, like a 0800 number clients are likely to
think that you are a “big company” that is based nationwide in the UK.
This number range could be used for companies that can deliver products
and services nationwide or for those companies that offer services that
are not area dependant like insurance.
Memorable numbers generate sales.
A company or individual can choose their own number which means that
they are able to buy a virtual number that is easy to remember or
relevant to the industry they are based in. Memorable numbers use
repetitive numbers like 445566, sequences like 12345 or alphanumeric
numbers whereby words translate to numbers on the keypad on a telephone.
These numbers are referred to as gold numbers and they are especially
useful in advertising as people can remember them without needing a pen
and paper which is likely to give them the edge over competitors that
have numbers that are difficult to remember.
Keep one number if the company moves offices.
Virtual number diverts can be changed at anytime. There is no need to
get a new virtual number if they move offices or even if they need to
work from another location temporarily. If a user wants the calls to be
forwarded to another number then all they need to do is log in to the
online control panel and change the number that is currently being
diverted to, to the new phone number and it will take effect almost
instantly.
Track your advertising campaigns.
The system that the virtual numbers use tracks all incoming calls. This
is especially useful when they would like to measure the volume of
incoming calls that have been made due to any advertising campaigns.
They Simply order a new virtual number and add it to the media as the
only contact phone number that is advertised. When they have finished
the campaign, they can log in to the virtual number system and check how
many calls were made to that number.
Affordable, professional call handling.
These days it is not necessary to spend large amounts of money on
hardware to handle incoming calls. Virtual numbers come with many add on
options to ensure that calls are handled professionally and for an
affordable price. Users can add voicemail, fax to email, call hunting,
virtual switchboard and live answering services at very reasonable
rates. Companies no longer need to miss any more calls and you can
impress clients with corporate level professional phone systems.
Keep existing numbers private.
When a caller phones a virtual number, the calls get forwarded to
existing phones, however the number calls get forwarded to to will
remain private so callers do not get the existing private number
details. If they decide not to use the virtual number any longer and do
not want the calls to go to their existing phone, they simply log in and
delete the private number the calls are getting diverted to.
Give a company position a dedicated number.
Allocate a position in a company a virtual number so that if the
employee leaves the company, the calls will still get routed to the
correct person in charge, by simply changing the number of the old
employee’s number to the new employees number, this will cause less
confusion for clients that are used to calling a specific number for
assistance. |
