Non Geographic and Virtual Numbers

Number translation services enable any business, to improve service to customers and staff, especially where a large number of incoming calls are directed to one person or a group of people.

Using a range of different numbers, gives you flexibility in how you choose to market your company.

We provide a wide range of numbers and can tailor call routing plans to your exact requirements

Most telephone numbers are assigned to the town or city within the UK. Non-geographic numbers are not assigned according to a geographic location. Instead, they are virtual telephone numbers that can be used no matter where your business is located in the UK.

Non-geographic numbers can be mapped to any existing phone number and can be routed anywhere, even to international destinations, so you've no need to ever miss another important telephone call. Depending on what number you choose to use your customers may see these numbers as local domestic numbers, no matter where they’re calling from, making it affordable for them to contact your business anytime. Fractal Telecom offers a variety of non-geographic number ranges, so you can select the type that works best for your business.

The clue is in the name 'virtual'. The number doesn't exist at a physical location. Calls to a virtual number can be routed to anywhere that suits your personal requirements.

We can give you a standard area code for every town and city in the United Kingdom. But you don't need that, chances are you just want to appear to a bit closer to somewhere than you currently are. For example a business in Market Harborough (01858) might want to be more associated with Leicester (0116) or Northampton (01604). It's not that these places are any better, but to appear 'really local' can be an advantage, though it depends what you're selling.

0800 numbers are free-to-call, so are a powerful sales & marketing tool used by companies to encourage prospects or customers to contact them.

We've all become aware of the use of the 0800 and the 0808 number ranges as a free to call service number here in the UK. For many companies using them they help to develop a simple competitive advantage.

For any business wanting to promote a product or service and solicit an enquiry. These numbers form the ideal sales response mechanism, removing the financial barrier from the consumer making the enquiry.

The 03xx number range is a modern day successor to the older but still useful 08xx number ranges. Their rise to fame and glory was simply due to the adoption by many here of the mobile telephone.

Open your business up to national opportunities.

The 0300 number range is reserved exclusively for charitable and not-for-profit organisations.
