Create A Virtual Office Location

Do you live far away from a major city, yet want to capture the attention of the city dwellers for your business? That’s the beauty of Internet phone service.

Voice Over Internet Protocol, or VOIP, is the new way to make and receive your business phone calls. When a phone call comes in, they are converted into data that moves through your high speed Internet connection. And the best thing for those in a virtual environment is you can choose what area code your phone number will exist in.

How does this help you?

Let’s say you live in Small Town USA. Yet Chicago is an hour’s drive for you, and you hope to gain many clients in the Chicago area. You are frequently in Chicago on business, book weddings all over the Chicago area, and have several regular meeting locations. Having a virtual phone number with Chicago’s 312 area code may be good for your business.

Using a VOIP gives you access to set up your phone system using the method described. It can be done very inexpensively. Your secondary number (the Chicago area code) will be forwarded to your primary number. The advantage is people calling your Chicago phone number will be calling a local calling area, and will assume you are within their area.

Pretty neat for a virtual office!

Now consider having two or three virtual numbers. If you choose to penetrate two or three large areas, having local numbers will definitely give your business a boost.
