Elite Telecom can provide your company with international phone numbers and memorable phone numbers that will not only get your customers attention, but will also allow you to better manage your business.

An international toll free phone number is a special phone number that is free to call for the caller – the company being called foots the bill instead. This isn’t as costly as it may seem. Elite Telecom offers excellent rates and by using an international number, you will soon see a rise in business. Each country around the world allocates certain prefixes to international toll free numbers which are always 800 numbers.

More information...
- There is a slight difference between universal international toll free numbers and international toll free numbers. With international toll free numbers you can get a toll free number specifically for each country and callable from anywhere, but with a universal toll free number, you get one number that is toll free the world over, no matter where you are.
  Some global helplines or charities use a universal toll free number, so that anyone in the world can get access to the helpline when they need it. For businesses as well, a global toll free number can offer a global business presence, reaching more customers than a local number.
  Charitable organisations in particular are fans of international numbers. Childline, the Samaritans – both of these are examples of charities that need to be easily reached from anywhere, at any time and during any circumstances. So not only do international numbers allow users to contact them from anywhere, but also for free.
  Similarly, with businesses, an international number can boost your business. Think about it – if you’re faced with a choice between a business that costs money to call or one that is free to call, which company would you choose?!

World class business; a need for international phone numbers?
Ah, business communication. We may spend our days harping on about it, but we have our justifications - what use are you without contact to your customers? (The answer is no use).

Phone numbers are a crucial, necessary and possible first step to business communications – well, after the installation of your lines of course, and they certainly come before the introduction of all those call handling features you like so much.

But if you’re a business operating worldwide - and we know that there are a lot of you what with globalisation and all – then you can benefit from an elusive international number.

For instance, if you decide to have an international toll free number, then don’t be put off by any rumours of sky-rocketing costs. We can offer excellent rates that will guarantee a rise in your business profits.

Benefits of International Phone numbers

For every country around the world, an allocated prefix is used to an international toll free number which will always be an 800 number. They are toll free numbers that can be used around the world.

Whatever your business, you need to have a solid phone system. Having an international toll free phone number that is free to call for the caller will benefit the company in many ways, including:

• Having an international business presence rather than limited to just a local one
• International numbers will give you access to network level services such as call recording and call statistics
• They can inspire trust in your customers because you as a business pay for the cost of the call
• These numbers will give you a professional image
• Memorable numbers can be included in the package and they are great for marketing campaigns

Needless to say, having an international number where callers can reach you from anywhere in the world, toll-free is engaging in terms of substantial growth.

Suncream Anyone?

A recent poll has found that 82% of telecoms users would prefer a single telephone number they can use for life regardless of where they are. This is why Elite are looking into global iNums – an international phone number that is yours for life. So for instance, if you felt the need to move to Cyprus for your business (and to be fair, why wouldn’t you?!) you could keep your number and so your customer base. Now there’s nothing to stop you from leading a life in the sun!
