TeleForwarding Expands Portfolio with New Geographic Numbers

NEW YORK - July 5, 2013 - PRLog -- TeleForwarding continually works on expanding its international service portfolio. Thereby the company does not only strengthen its own international presence, but also offers its clients excellent tools for the international development and expansion of their organizations. Guided by the motto “connecting global business to local people” TeleForwarding has recently added virtual, geographic phone numbers in Sri Lanka, Nepal, South Africa, South Korea, India and Vietnam to its service portfolio. With these new countries TeleForwarding now offers geographic numbers in over 60 countries worldwide.

Virtual, geographic phone numbers, also known as geonumbers, look exactly like normal landline numbers and like those numbers, they have a local area code, such as 20 for London, 917 for New York City or 11 for New Delhi (http://www.teleforwarding.com/business/geographic-virtual-phone-numbers). Therefore, with a geographic number, a company emphasizes its local corporate image and creates more customer proximity. Geonumbers, moreover, are low cost phone numbers, for they can be called at a local rate. This makes geographic phone numbers ideal for companies that wish to build trust and attract clients on a local level.

However, this does not mean that geographic numbers are interesting only for small, regional companies. On the contrary, the geographic numbers offered by TeleForwarding are so-called virtual phone numbers, which means they can be forwarded to any phone number in the world. This enables a company or organization to create a local presence in several cities or regions, even if it does not (yet) want to set up local subsidiaries everywhere. This way a company from, for example, New York, can offer geonumbers in Washington and Los Angeles while still answering calls to these numbers in New York. Thanks to intelligent call routing, moreover, all calls will directly be forwarded to the right contact person. Thereby, customers will quickly be connected to the right employee which will improve customer satisfaction and strengthen customer loyalty.

And what works nationally, also works internationally, for TeleForwarding offers geographic phone numbers in over 60 countries worldwide. Hereby, international organizations are able to create more customer proximity on a local level by offering local, geographic phone numbers in the various countries or capitals they are active in. Do you have a British tourist company, for instance, and do you wish to offer local phone numbers to tourists in Spain but answer phone calls to these numbers in Britain? Or does your international textile company have many local wholesalers who you would like to offer the option of contacting your headquarters at a low, local rate? For all companies that want to attract and keep local customers worldwide, virtual geographic phone numbers with international call forwarding are the perfect tools.

Furthermore, geographic phone numbers combine very well with international toll-free numbers, such as 00 800 (or +800) numbers (http://www.teleforwarding.com/business/). TeleForwarding currently offers toll-free numbers in over 100 countries worldwide. Whereas a geographic phone number can be called at a local rate, toll-free numbers are completely free of charge. A combination of both kind of contact numbers will thereby emphasize the fact that a company wishes to offer excellent customer service worldwide. Since toll-free numbers are free to call, they generally generate more call traffic than geonumbers. Nevertheless, it is the combination of both toll-free and geographic phone numbers that will be interesting for many businesses. Contrary to toll-free phone numbers, geographic phone numbers are always available from abroad and from mobile phone networks. Thereby, a mix of both kinds of phone numbers will guarantee a complete telephone availability to all customers, both those who prefer calling local phone numbers and those who would rather call a +800 toll-free number, either from a landline or mobile phone. This way you combine the best of both worlds; locally and internationally.

Create a local presence around the world with virtual, geographic phone numbers by TeleForwarding. For a total overview of all countries for which TeleForwarding offers toll-free and geographic numbers, check out our global availability.
