Number Management Options
Your main business number to your mobile telephone
Many small businesses now operate with primarily using mobile phones, however whilst available much of the time a mobile number may be more prone to change than a land line, especially if a business is sold or a mobile is lost or stolen. Many businesses also restrict who is given a mobile number as the main business telephone number to prevent casual interruption of key employees.
As a consequence telephone messages build up and so can the cost and time associated with returning calls. Sometimes new business enquirers may even be lost because of this time delay.
Please note that all 0800/0808/0845/0844 numbers terminating directly to a mobile telephone cannot show the number of the calling party.
Free Point of Contact
Routing calls using an 0800, 0808, 0845 or 0844 number can remove many of these problems and can open up new possibilities in the management of sales staff. For example, you can set calls to ring only to one mobile phone number: for a single permanent freephone contact or to a 24 hour 'duty' phone - excellent for strategically important clients or contracts.
It has been proven that people are more likely to respond to an advert if the 'call to action' is simply dialling a freephone number.
