Frequently Asked Questions

What is a local phone number?

A local phone number is a telephone number with an area code specific to a city or region — for example, 212 for New York or 020 for London. When you call from a local number, recipients see a familiar area code rather than an unknown or international number, which significantly increases answer rates.

Why do businesses use local phone numbers?

Businesses use local numbers to build trust and increase answer rates in specific markets. Research shows calls from local numbers are answered up to 4x more often than calls from unknown or international numbers. Local numbers also convey a physical presence in a market without requiring an actual office.
