Why Businesses in Serviced Offices Choose 0845 Numbers
When companies decide to work from a serviced office they are provided with all of the IT and telecoms support they need – including an internet provider and telephone number. However, should they want to move offices, most businesses find that they can’t take their phone number with them or they have to pay hefty fees to transfer it.This is obviously not ideal for organisations that want to maintain business continuity and ensure that their new and existing customers can always get hold of them.
0845 telephone numbers resolve this issue and it’s for this reason that they are very popular with businesses that operate from serviced offices. 0845 numbers, and in fact all non-geographic telephone numbers e.g. 03 numbers and freephone numbers enable companies to take their phone number with them when they outgrow their office and need to relocate. This is because 0845 numbers work alongside any landline or mobile that the company wishes and this receiving number can be changed at anytime. What’s more, if people find the right 0845 number provider, redirecting calls to landline numbers are totally free with moderate call charges to mobiles.
Portability is just one benefit of 0845 numbers. They also enable businesses to publish a memorable telephone number on their website or in business directories and to receive enquiries from across the UK. This is because they do not denote the location of the business (through a local dialling code) and people do not judge where the company is based.Additionally, like all like all non-geographic numbers, smart call features can be added to 0845 numbers without the need for additional and often costly hardware and equipment. These features are all controlled online and can be changed instantly. Popular features include:
-Caller options (e.g. press 1 for sales, 2 for customer services).
-Professional welcome message (e.g.”Welcome to Company XYZ)
It is clear that 0845 numbers have much to offer businesses in serviced offices and the business community in general. It’s for these reasons that they are the UK’s most popular non-geographic phone number and can be found in abundance in business directories and online.They also offer customers very reasonable call charges from a landline. In fact, 14m BT landline callers can now dial them free of charge, as they are included in their Anytime/Evening & Weekend calling plans.
