Buying a virtual phone number from us.

Why Use Multiple Numbers?
As a business all you really want is the phone to ring, i.e. you want more enquiries about your products or services, hopefully converting these into sales. Actually it doesn’t really matter to you what kind of telephone number you use.
The best strategy we recommend is operating a few different numbers and measuring your results. Clearly if you are selling to the general public, use 0800 Freephone numbers and 01 local area codes in targeted geographic areas/regions.
If you advertise in say The Worcester Herald newspaper, use a local 01905 Worcester telephone number in your advert.
Run the same advert in the Yorkshire Evening Post, based in Leeds, use a 0113 Leeds telephone number.
It’s best to use a different telephone number in each advert. This method will allow you on a weekly or monthly basis to see exactly what response rates each form of advertising is generating.

How do I choose the right number?
Your phone number can say a lot about your business, including where you’re based – if you choose to opt for a geographic number – and whether you’re offering a premium service via a premium rate number.
The phone number you choose can have a direct impact on how potential customers and existing customers choose to get in touch with you. If you’re operating a freephone or geographic phone number, your phone number is quite inviting and encourages people to call.
However, if you choose to opt for a premium rate number, people may choose to contact you via an alternative method or decide not to contact you at all.
Decide what you want to use your phone number for to make it easier to choose the type of number would best suit.

What is Ofcom?
All telephone numbers, whether they’re business, commercial or consumer, are regulated by Ofcom, “The Independent regulator and competition authority for the UK communications industries”.
This government body regulator sets the rules on what type of telephone numbers can be used, who can use them, and what service can be provided on a particular telephone number range.
