Local Phone Number for Overseas Businesses


Technology has given businesses countless ways to cut costs, communicate with clients, and generally just expand their operations. One incredibly popular new service actually gives companies the ability to do all three simultaneously. We are talking about virtual phone numbers.

If you have never heard of them or don’t know exactly what they are, let us take a moment to explain. A virtual phone number is one that gives people the ability to place a long distance or overseas call as if it were a local call. Because, for all intents and purposes, it is a Local Phone Number . Virtual phone numbers actually have the same local area codes as the people who are placing the call.

We know, it sounds far-fetched, like science fiction. But as we mentioned, this is all possible through the use of new technology. Specifically, companies that are known as VoIP providers can deliver service over your DSL or cable Internet connection for as little as ten pounds a month.

What are the benefits? For businesses there are several. But probably the most common use of virtual numbers is when a company decides to relocate a branch or department of their business overseas. For instance, let us say they decide to move their customer service department to India to take advantage of favourable wage discrepancies and cut costs.

Since many customers in their home country would likely frown upon the company sending jobs overseas, they use virtual numbers to conceal this fact. Remember, virtual numbers have the same area codes as local numbers, so the caller may suspect that they are calling another country, but they obviously cannot prove it.
