Give your business a local appearance with our virtual local phone numbers
Many customers only shop locally, or don’t want to call a mobile or international number, so with our virtual local phone numbers, your business can have that local feel whist being able to answer the calls anywhere in the world!
Often called virtual local numbers, STD area codes or geographic numbers, Number People can supply UK local phone numbers for any UK town or city. Our UK local phone numbers are not attached to a physical telephone line and are virtual cloud based numbers, meaning you don’t have to be physically located in a particular area to benefit from having that areas’ STD code.
Your business may be based in Birmingham, but if you want to offer the same services to people based in Wolverhampton, Telford or even London – then it’s as simple as ordering a new local telephone number for that area!
Once you have chosen your new UK local phone number/s, we just need to know where you would like this number to ring. You can forward calls to any destination either in the UK or internationally – in fact you can forward the calls to up to 10 destinations, perfect if you have a team of people that could answer the call.
If you ever need to make changes to the call forwarding set up for your UK local phone number, or want to order more UK local phone numbers then this can be done online at any point with our simple to use online portal.
