About our local numbers

Number three in our series of posts about our range of numbers is local numbers, also known as virtual numbers and ghost numbers. These are numbers which can be pointed at your existing landline or mobile phone, and that give you an area code for an area that you want to appear local for. For example, if you are based in London but want to also have a Birmingham phone number to appeal to customers in the midlands, then you get one of these pointed to your phone and you have a Birmingham number as well as your London number. They’re also great for companies wanting to appear to be based in London, but cannot afford London prices so base themselves outside.

Local numbers are ideal for companies that have one central head office but want to appeal to lots of different areas, or for companies that operate using mobile phones as they are mainly on the road but want to appeal to have local premises. Often calling a mobile will put potential customers off, so this is a good way to avoid that.We have a wide range of local numbers for 479 different UK area codes.
