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.

What Real People Say About Us

Experience why Voiply has become the top-rated home phone provider, trusted by over 50,000 satisfied customers.

Its a plug and play set up but I ran into some issues but Voiply's customer service is easy to access and they worked fast and hard to get me up and running. I kept my landline number because my mom doesn't know how to use a cellphone. But landline was costing me to much to keep. So found Voiply for home and its a great bargain. All I needed was my internet connection the Voiply dongle and my mom's cordless phone. Whats even cooler is we have voice mail and I get notifications on my cellphone when we have messages.

We switched to Voiply after our current VOIP provider increased our rates 60% without warning (and we had been with them for over a decade). What a difference! They helped immediately with porting issues then fixed the mobile app so that we could get incoming calls. We were up and running within a day of the port completion. Our previous VOIP provider took days to fix an issue - Voiply fixed problems within minutes of our report. So customer support definitely gets five stars from us! The Voiply price is also more reasonable so that was very helpful. And both the web interface and mobile app were well written (I'm a software consultant/developer). I've added a picture of the Grandstream device that Voiply supplies for free. Besides power, it has inputs for a phone (RJ11) and an ethernet connection (RJ45). It is programmed to get a DHCP address on your internal network so be sure to allot some addressed on your firewall router for DHCP. We are glad that we ported to Voiply - what a difference from our previous supplier.

Yes, we still have a landline telephone. Voiply has been an excellent provider for years. The system works smoothly, including voicemail. If I ever have a question they respond very quickly. I always feel that I am chatting with a real person, not some AI-generated bot. The price is very reasonable and I recommend them highly.

I love Voiply, I was able to dial out but could not receive calls. I made one call to Voiply, they accessed the situation and resolved it quickly. I have been with them for five years and never had a problem. Good dependable service.

I received my device and had an issue during the initial setup (user error). I emailed the support team and received a response in less than 30 minutes. The solution provided was simple, easy to follow, and resolved my issue. I’m impressed at the amazing customer service.

We tried Voiply because the prices were very competitive. But the customer support is why I am leaving this review. Our rotary dial phone needed a little extra configuration so the older technology worked with the adaptor. Customer support was immediately responsive and persistent until a resolution (and a working rotary phone!) was achieved. I appreciated how Voiply didn't shy away from supporting a niche request.
