Call Forwarding
Learn more about how Call Forwarding can help improve your business' professional image and perceived size
What is Call Forwarding?
Call Forwarding is a seemless way of diverting calls from one number to another such as your personal mobile, without giving away where they are diverted to. This means you can publish a professional or memorable geographic number starting 01 or 02 but in reality calls will ring on your mobile or landline elsewhere.
Call Forwarding is completly seemless and the caller has no idea that their call is actually ringing elsewhere.
There are many reasons why this is helpful to all sizes of business. Small businesses that do not have a phone system can still advertise with landline numbers but receive calls on their mobiles. Research shows that customers are six times more likely to call a local landline number as opposed to a mobile.
Other great reasons to take advantage of Call Forwarding is that you can publish local numbers for local adverts without actually having to have a landline or office in the area itself. This gives your business a local feel whilst avoiding the high expense of renting real landlines.
Additionally, Call Forwarding is not limited to going to just a single number. You can forward your calls to multiple numbers at the same time or a series of numbers one after the other to ensure maximum chance of your callers being answered. Don't forget you can also enable Cloud Voicemail to E-Mail in the event nobody is available.
