BUSINESS TELEPHONE NUMBERS GUIDE
MOVING YOUR BUSINESS PHONE NUMBERS TO VOIP
Moving from a traditional phone system to a VoIP phone system begs the question, how easy is it to port your office phone numbers over to VoIP? We have explored the steps you can take to ensure you port your number as smoothly as possible.
KEEPING YOUR BUSINESS PHONE NUMBER WITH A CLOUD PHONE SYSTEM
A key question many customers have is about keeping their existing business phone number when changing over to a cloud telephony system. This is often especially critical if you’re a long-standing business, have high call volume (such as from customer support or order taking), or work with many third parties and suppliers.
WHY HAVE DDI NUMBERS
A Direct Dial In – often referred to as a DDI number – can become a valuable part of your business phone system. As well as having a main switchboard number, your business can also set up individual numbers for staff members and departments.
HOW DDI NUMBERS CAN AID YOUR MARKETING TEAM
DDI numbers enable marketing departments to track not only where their leads are coming from but also how successful each of their strategies are which in turn saves the company money on campaigns that are not returning enough on their investment.WHAT IS A VIRTUAL NUMBER?
A virtual landline is a cloud based phone number that allows you to send and receive calls from any location and on any device. Unlike traditional landline telephones, which are tied to a single physical phone line, virtual numbers are not tied to any one physical device.
