0207 numbers are associated with central London, and central London based businesses are seen as being bigger, more reliable or more trustworthy. A London Virtual Office number could make a massive difference to the number calls you receive from your potential 60 million affluent UK customers.
So, whether you are running a web site in Paris, a mail-order company in the USA, or a call centre in Bombay, you can make it easy for your UK customers to reach you by giving them a UK number that they can call.
What are
the marketing benefits?
A
London Virtual
Office 0207
number is invaluable if you want to present your
company as being solid and reliable.
Many overseas companies (especially USA)
only
provide a 1-800 number in literature and
websites, forgetting that potential customers
from most other countries are unable to access
1-800 or, if they can, they are then charged
full
international rates!
Does the 0207 number replace my existing
number?
No. Your existing number will be retained - both
can work at the same time. That means if someone
is not aware of your new marketing number and
still calling you on your 'normal' number, the call will still get through to
you.
How do
London Virtual Office
numbers work?
You choose your new number, and this is
'pointed' or 're-directed' to one of your
existing 'target' telephone numbers. Your
existing number will work as it always has, you
simply now have two numbers that ring the same
line.
Are the
numbers registered to me?
Yes, all telephone numbers are registered
in your name. The number will stay with you for
as long as you want to use it.
How much do callers pay to ring an 0207?
Callers will be charged standard
local or national
rate (Mobiles may vary between
mobile phone operators).
Can I have
more than one number?
Yes, you can have as many numbers
as you require.
I
am an individual, not a company, can I have an
0207?
Yes, although our ordering page asks for a
company name you can put "individual" or "sole
trader" down. Many individuals and sole traders
use London Virtual Office numbers so as not to give out their
home number.
Can I choose which 0207 number I have?
Yes, of course! When you enter the
ordering
page you will be presented with our
current list of numbers. You can choose
from within this list, we have hundreds of
different 0800 's to choose from.
Can I divert my
London Virtual Office to a mobile number?
Yes! you can divert or 'point' to UK Landlines, Mobiles and 180 Countries Worldwide!
