Why A Virtual Landline

Virtual Landline

We can help you implement a virtual landline phone system into your business so that you’re able to benefit from virtual phone services from day one. We’ve helped countless small and medium-sized businesses with their business phone solutions and have allowed them, and their customer service teams, to work wherever they please while still appearing to have a physical telephone number.

Why Virtual Landline?

Why A Virtual Landline Number For Businesses Is So Important

Effective business communications are apparent in their benefits and the effect they have on business growth. Here at Prestige Telecom, we offer different types of business communication to companies and organisations of all shapes and sizes across the UK. As we’ll detail below, from small businesses, that may only contain 3-5 people, and medium-sized business of up to 100 staff, that are looking to consolidate their position, right the way through to giant enterprises that have hundreds of staff, dozens of departments, and complex hierarchies – we work with them all. We know that business telecommunication services can appear daunting and complicated, but that doesn’t make them any less significant. In this modern fast-paced business environment, the differences, and margins of success, between competitors is razor-thin so, by having a sophisticated telecoms architecture in place, you can ensure that you’ll be available to help during moments when competitors may not be there.

Having a virtual landline, as we’ve detailed, opens your business up and creates an image of a company that is available for their clients day or night, and puts customer service at the heart of everything they do. It is sometimes overlooked but good customer service sticks in the minds of people for a very long time – make them feel special and you might find that you have a customer for life. What follows is a breakdown of why virtual landline numbers are so important for businesses of all shapes and sizes.

For Enterprises

As an enterprise, you’re responsible for the employment of hundreds, have probably spent decades building your business and witnessed first hand the changes in communication solutions. You may already have virtual landlines and VoIP systems in place and are already aware of why they are so important for sustained success. All that, however, doesn’t mean problems aren’t still present. At Prestige Telecom, we can help your enterprise find virtual landline plans that are not only cheaper than your current deal but come with exciting new features and options that will enhance your experience. When you’re at the top of your industry, the differences between winning and losing can be slim, but the effects can be huge. We’re experienced in implementing multiple layers of virtual landlines for businesses that operate in a high stakes world, and understand that even the slightest fault can cause real issues. Our account managers, therefore, work hard to offer impeccable service and the latest in technology to ensure enterprises stay ahead of the field.

How Do I Get A Virtual Number?

Getting a virtual number couldn’t be easier. Once you’ve spoken to our team you simply open an account and select a plan that works for you in terms of monthly costs, contract length, and additional features. Then, you select the area, or areas, where you’d like to target with a number and before you know it, you’ll have a host of local numbers, or an 0800 one if that is your preference, for people in those areas to ring to enquire about your products and services.

The great thing is that, because we’re a cloud-based telephone system supplier, we can add new numbers or remove them in minutes. Let’s say, for example, that a sudden business opportunity opens up, and a new market for you to operate in has suddenly become available, to maximise your efforts a local number would be extremely beneficial as it gives people in that area reassurance that you have a presence there, and are able to help them. All you need to do is give us a call and in minutes we can create a number that is based on the area code of the place that you’re now looking to target, meaning you’ll never miss out on an opportunity to hear from potential clients and customers who ring you.

For overseas clients, you can quickly set up an international number so that your potential reach can be extended globally. This gives you an even greater opportunity to attract new business in markets and territories that you never even thought possible but, thanks to virtual landlines and numbers, it is more than possible and super easy to set up. It’s no exaggeration to say that virtual numbers can jump start your growth plans, and help you grow your business in new, diverse, and exciting ways.

Can You Have A Landline Number For A Mobile?

Absolutely, as we’ve touched on you can effectively turn your mobile phone into a landline number and answer/make calls with a number that is connected to a specific area, without actually having a physical presence in that place. A landline gives the appearance of a local presence in an area, increasing the chances of customers ringing your number. For instance, if you’re based outside London, but want to target people who are based more centrally, you can set up landlines for 0203, 0204, 0207, and 0208 numbers and easily give the impression you operate in the city.

A landline gives the appearance of a local presence in an area, increasing the chances of customers ringing your number.

Porting a number is a great option if you currently have a local number and are relocating to a different area, but want to keep that number, and therefore, the impression that you still operate in that area. With rising office rents in big cities and more expensive costs of living, plenty of businesses are seeing the appeal of moving to areas outside of the immediate city centre. This is where porting is so useful because, to customers both new and existing, they still think you operate in a city centre, or in the area where that number is associated.

With Prestige Telecom Group, we can help you port existing numbers, and add these to new virtual landlines so you have the exact list of numbers you want. And the best part is that porting a number, in most cases, takes minutes. Porting is a great cost-saving exercise too, there is no need to have new phone lines installed, or order new equipment such as phone systems, you simply add the number to your plan and that’s it.

Number Porting: Everything You Need To Know

why a virtual landline

As well as costs, porting also saves you a lot of hassle, leaving you to focus on more pressing business matters, safe in the knowledge your numbers are all sorted.

We advise our clients that they should port their numbers before switching as this helps ensure there is zero interruption in the service (i.e. your ability to receive calls) after the porting occurs.

What is the difference between number porting and call forwarding?

Porting is a permanent means of moving a phone number to another provider because the old account associated with that number has now been closed. The difference between this and forwarding is that the number keeps its association with the old account, but instead is forwarded to another number or person.
