Benefits of combining VoiP with an 0117 phone number

Cost-effective

VoIP operates over the internet, meaning long-distance and international calls become much more affordable than traditional phone lines. This efficiency extends to setup and maintenance costs as well, as VoIP systems do not require expensive hardware or extensive wiring. For businesses in Reading, this means enjoying the prestige of a local presence while minimising expenses.

Feature-rich

VoIP systems come loaded with features that traditional phone lines simply can't match. Call forwarding, auto-attendant, call recording, voicemails to email, analytics, SMS, and queueing are just the tip of the iceberg. These features enhance your business's professionalism, improve customer service, and provide valuable insights into your communications.

Scalable

As your business grows, so too can your VoIP system. Adding lines or features doesn't require new physical lines but can be done with a few clicks, making it perfectly suited to the dynamic business landscape of Reading. Whether you're expanding within the city or beyond, your VoIP system with an 0118 number can easily adjust to your needs.

Flexible

With a Reading area code phone number on VoIP, you and your team can make and receive calls anywhere in the world, provided you have an internet connection. This mobility ensures that your business remains agile, able to adapt to remote work environments, and maintain a consistent presence in Reading, regardless of your physical location: something that is particularly beneficial in today's flexible work culture.

Portable

Your 0118 phone number becomes portable with VoIP technology. Even if your business relocates, either within Reading or to another city, you can retain your local number, maintaining continuity and stability in your customer communications. This portability is crucial for keeping your branding consistent and ensures that your customers can always reach you, no matter where your business journey takes you.
