Local phone numbers 'have many benefits'

Date: 12/08/2011

There are a number of reasons why local numbers could be a useful purchase for businesses.

No doubt some enterprises will want non-geographic prefixes that give them a national presence and promote their country-wide operations.

However, this is unlikely to be true of all firms and some may find marketing themselves as being a local company wins them the support and business of smaller communities.

As well as creating this kind of presence, such prefixes are also low cost to contact from both landlines and mobile phones.

This could provide firms with a boost as it may mean people do not hesitate to get in touch with orders if they know they will not be charged premium rates for the call.

No matter what their location, companies can purchase local 01 or 02 phone numbers, as enquires directed toward these digits are simply re-routed to an alternative number of their choice.
