What is a Business Phone Number?

A business phone number can be your official and direct link so that clients, partners, and others can reach and identify your business. Your business phone number can help solidify your company brand, establish your identity, and enhance your network, whether you're a small business or an enterprise.

When you have an official business phone number, you don't need to give out your personal phone number. Your business phone number becomes your direct inward dialing (DID) number.

Used with a VoIP provider, you can use your business phone number on several devices and in different locations— even while on the go.

Getting your business phone numbers is easy. Just choose a trusted service provider that will give you your desired phone number, select a pricing plan based on what you need, and pay (generally every month). But which business phone number should you get to maximize its use? 

RingCentral offers you different types of business phone numbers you may need.

Different Types of Business Phone Numbers

A unique and dedicated business phone number can benefit your company or business. It allows your clients to reach you faster, contact the business directly, and help to maintain a professional image. However, different business phone numbers may cater to your client's needs. Discover the different types of business phone numbers that best suit your company.

Local Numbers

If you want to boost your local presence in a specific local area code, RingCentral also offers local phone numbers from over 200 area codes across the US. You don't even need an office in that state to purchase a business phone number with its specific area code. You can also take business calls in New York and have a Los Angeles virtual phone line.

Why should you get a business phone number?

Your company telephone number is the number one point of contact customers have with your company.

While there’s been an increase in the use of other point-of-contact channels like email, videoconferencing, and chat, there is nothing more reassuring than having an actual person answering your call after being on a call queue. Having business phone numbers, such as dedicated toll-free phone numbers, for your company and its branches also adds to your credibility as an organization.

Conventional landlines, however, have limitations. You’d need to spend more on features like SMS text messaging, fax, voicemail-to-email, and call forwarding options to get the most out of it. Having an on-premise PBX could help, but it would require you to set up on-site hardware that will cost you thousands upfront.

Fortunately, RingCentral, a trusted VoIP service provider, offers affordable business phone numbers supported by one of the best virtual phone systems in the industry. Instead of conventional landlines, your company gets a virtual phone number not tied to physical lines. RingCentral business phone numbers can be accessed from anywhere and on any mobile device, so employees won’t need to use their personal cell phone plans to make calls. They can simply use the RingCentral mobile app and use their company number.
