Interesting info about 020 numbers ...

I have to say, I'm not usually a fan of Wikipedia, but I found this article about London 020 numbers on there to be quite informative and interesting. I will focus on some of the elements of this in future blog posts ...

Demand increases for virtual London numbers ahead of olympics

Of all the various virtual numbers available, London phone numbers appear to be particularly popular at the moment. Demand for 0207, 0208 and 0203 virtual numbers is increasing all the time. Presumably there are a lot of companies hoping to ride on the coat tails of the London 2012 Olympic Games and make their business appear to be London based when it actually isn't. Not that you can blame them - the price of property in London is incredibly expensive, so it is quite a good way of making sure your business gets some of the benefits that the London games are meant to be bringing to the UK without having to spend a fortune doing it.

What to do when you have lots of virtual phone numbers

One of the main ideas behind having virtual phone numbers is that instead of having lots of different offices, you can have one office with virtual phone numbers from all of the areas your business is operating in pointing to the same place.

The problem resulting from this can be that you have so many different virtual local numbers that you don't have enough staff to answer all of the calls!

The Virtual Number Company not only provides local phone numbers, but also has a virtual reception - or call answering service, whereby any calls that you can't take gets diverted to their receptionists to answer in your business name.

Or, they can answer all of your calls for you if you're not in the office very much! A great little service!
