A local number gives your business the appearance of having a local presence — a valuable trait to many potential customers. Local companies are often viewed by customers as offering higher quality products and more reliable customer service when compared to a national or international chain. A local virtual number lets you stay connected with your customers no matter where you are, so the quality of your services never suffers. Plus, customers are more likely to answer an incoming call from a local number compared to one with a toll-free area code. Toll-free numbers offer their own advantages. If your customers are located all over the country, a toll-free number lets them contact you free of charge no matter where they are calling from. Check out our toll-free numbers page to see if this is the right choice for your company.
