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.

I've been with Voiply for many years with excellent phone service. If I had any questions or problems, Customer Service was right there to help. Call quality is always spot-on and their pricing plans make it very affordable. I've tried others, and this company has been the best, so far.

Due to my absence for 5 months, I had discontinued my internet service with another provider. To my surprise, voicemail was still working during this time and I was immediately notified via email whenever a call came in. The messages that were left showed up in detail which I appreciated. Upon reactivation of the modem for internet with that other provider, I had an issue with the phone connection. I contacted Voiply which fixed the problem within a relatively short time. I am very satisfied with the service that I received.

Voiply was able to port verizon home phone to the voip connector to my router. It took awhile to get it away from verizon but as of today it is done, and it costs about $13.79 per month, paid annually. That is a great price for a home phone.

We switched to Voiply and could not be happier. The phone works great, easy to set up and great service. We did have one technical issue at first (Caller ID was not working), Voiply worked with us and got it fixed. Would highly recommend, and they are much cheaper than the cable service we were using.

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.
