LOCAL NUMBERS

Why Does Area Code Matter?

A local phone number provides several significant benefits to a small business. Firstly, it enhances the company's presence in the local community and makes it appear more accessible to customers.

This local presence further establishes trust and credibility, as customers generally feel more comfortable dealing with businesses they perceive as local. From a practical standpoint, a local number is also more convenient and often cheaper for customers to call compared to long-distance or toll-free numbers.

Additionally, a local number serves as an effective marketing tool, reinforcing the association of your business with the local community. Lastly, having a separate business number helps maintain the privacy of your personal number, creating a clear boundary between professional and personal communications.

How to Spot a Spam Call or Text

Beware of unknown senders, urgent action requests, and too-good-to-be-true offers. Check for spelling errors and unfamiliar URLs. When in doubt, don't click or reply. Always verify from official sources.

Check for unknown numbers

Check for Unknown, Unfamiliar Numbers

A common sign of a spam call or text message is that it comes from an unknown or unfamiliar number.

Sometimes, these numbers may even appear to be from another country. If you don't recognize the number, be cautious.

Don't answer calls or reply to texts from numbers you don't know, especially if they aren't leaving messages.

Beware of too good offers

Beware of Too Good To Be True Offers

Spam messages often contain offers that seem too good to be true.

These could be promises of free vacations, big discounts, or large monetary rewards. As a rule of thumb, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

Always verify such offers from a reliable source before responding.

Look out for personal information requests

Look Out for Urgent Requests for Personal Information

Spam callers or texters often try to create a sense of urgency to get you to provide personal information.

They might pretend to be from your bank or a government agency, claiming there's a problem with your account or that you owe money. Never provide personal information in response to an unsolicited call or text message. When in doubt, hang up and contact the entity directly using a number you trust.

We recently switched our business landline to Voiply and had some issues after the porting process was complete. I contacted customer service, and they were able to resolve the issue quickly and get us up and running. The additional features provided by Voiply over a traditional landline phone are wonderful.

I travel a lot around the world and it is very important for me to stay connected with my clients. Since the budget as well as the quality was important to me, I tried different services and always came back disappointed one way or the other. One service would not work if I turned my phone's screen off, another would connect the incoming call very sporadically. And even the Voice Mailbox was not that great. Now with Voiply, not only I get all that, but also the price is very reasonable. I get in/out bound calls very clearly and easily, I receive SMS texts, and have a great VM. I love it.

I love the ease of purchase, the online dashboard is transparent about services and features, the customer service has always been topnotch, and you can't beat the price! I have the landline phone for my kids too young for cell phones and it's an added safety feature should I need to call 911 as the number is tied to my physical address. Worth every penny!

I appreciate the time and attention that I received from the Voiply tech support agents when I was trying to resolve an issue with my adaptor. Mike walked me through a process to restore my service via the website chat and email. When neither of these methods was successful, Ana called me on my mobile phone and walked me through the process. Many thanks to their dedication in helping to resolve this issue.

I've been very happy with Voiply. I've had to use the service twice now and it has been very easy to start, stop, and then start again. The latest restart was very easy especially now that Voiply has added an AI layer to their chat and overall system. When I've needed an agent they have been available and very helpful. The porting process has been great and I feel safe and comfortable with Voiply holding a number for me.

When we first started using Voiply our phone worked from 7 AM until 6 PM weekdays. It didn't work after 6 and on weekends. I put in a call to the support center, and after playing tag for a day and a half I received an e-mail from the Customer Support group. It was something that they have not seen before. After a couple of days and constant updates and request for information they were able to fix my problem. Now my phone works correctly. Throughout the entire ordeal the Customer Support Team made me feel that I was improtant to them, and kept me updated. I appreciated the way they handled my problem, and worked hard to correct it.

This was the easiest transition of a phone service ever! Everything transferred right on time, received the voiply box within days, plugged it in and done! No more monthly bill from a phone company. I wish I would have known about this service years ago.
