What are Geographic Numbers?
Geographic numbers are telephone numbers tied to specific geographic locations through area codes, enabling people receiving a call to identify the location of the caller, such as a city or region. These numbers allow your business to establish a local presence, make it appealing for local customer engagement due to the lower cost of local calling rates.
With the arrival of cloud telephony, your business is not limited to its immediate location. You can acquire geographic numbers in various locations and forward incoming calls to your main office, regardless of its physical location, without changing the call's cost for the caller.
For instance, a business headquartered in New York could use a geographic number with an Amsterdam area code (+31 20), allowing Amsterdam-based customers to call a local number that forwards to New York, charged at local rates. Similarly, a geographic number with a Los Angeles area code (213 or 310) enables local calls from LA to be routed to New York, simplifying communication across continents while keeping costs low for customers.

The Strategic Use of Geographic Numbers
When picking geographic phone numbers for your business, there are some things to keep in mind. While they're great for building trust locally, they might not help you reach people nationwide. If you want your phone number to be easy to remember, geographic ones might not be the best choice. Also, people might have to pay to call you, which could make it harder for them to reach you.
If you want to optimize accessibility/reachability on a national scale, you’re maybe better off using national or toll-free numbers. So, before you decide, make sure geographic numbers match your overall business plans and goals. All our services can be tailored to your business objectives!
