Get a Local Number for Your Business

by Ken Lambert on June 18, 2009

in Internet Phone

A virtual pbx service gives you the option to keep your existing business number, get a toll-free number, or get a local number for a specific area

You can create a local presence wherever you want to do business - live and work in one city and get a local number in another. You can choose from over 200 area codes - these numbers can then be activated immediately

With RingCentral, you can select a number before you sign up - you can then direct all calls to a single number or use the call forwarding service where you can choose the numbers and times of the day. Get your own Toll Free or Local Number for as low as $9.99 per month. Free Trial

Inbound voice calls to your local number that aren’t forwarded are free - Callers can listen to announcements and leave voicemail, and you can call in to listen to your voicemail without being charged any minutes.

Route calls to any phone worldwide - You can route callers who dialed your local number to your business, home, mobile or any other phone worldwide.

Have your RingCentral number appear as your caller ID - the exclusive RingCentral RingOut feature allows you to call anywhere in the world with a click of a mouse. Regardless of what phone you use, you can have your RingCentral number appear on the recipient’s Caller ID.

Order as many numbers with as many local area codes as you want - give additional toll free or local numbers to employees, departments, branches or set one up as a dedicated fax number. All will be linked and tracked through your online management tools and real-time Call Controller

Manage calls in real-time plus a click-to-call component and an ability to automatically route callers based on who they are and when they’re calling. You also get custom music on hold, a dial-by-name directory, an award-winning fax service and more. You can use your local number alone or with multiple extensions and an auto-attendant to form a Virtual PBX

Instantly reply to voicemail - If someone leaves a voicemail for you, RingCentral can alert you to it via a text message on your cell phone. You can dial into your account and listen to your voicemail at any time. After you listen to your message, the auto-attendant will ask you if you want to reply—if so, just press a number on your phone to automatically connect to the caller.
