01/02 Numbers
With an 01/02 number from Elite Telecom, you are able to apply local area numbers to your business no matter where you operate from. This is especially crucial for services operating in markets where customers only trust local suppliers; in fact, 77% of people prefer to call a local number that’s close to where they live.
01/02 numbers allow your business to generate a presence in an area that you do not reside in, but can still work effectively in – which means you don’t have to fork out the expense to physically set up shop in a given location. With Elite, you have access to all available standard UK local numbers beginning 01 or 02.
What is an 01/02 number?
Also referred to as geographic numbers or UK virtual numbers, as you do not need to be based physically in the town or city to use them – your business is able to obtain a number for any UK town or city. The cost to your callers is the same as ringing from any fixed landline number, and count towards a user’s free minutes from mobile providers. Customers think they are dialling an area code, but are in actual fact being rerouted to your call centre/location, or even mobile phone.
Say you operate out of London but do not have an inner city area code – think of the business opportunities you create by switching to a London number. Elite Telecom can supply your business with phone numbers, analogue lines and advanced multi-site solutions to ensure your business and sales multiply. It is the perfect solution for business which is looking to expand but don’t want to set up or move offices.
