How does a virtual 0208 number work?

To begin with, a virtual 0208 number works in just the same way as a fixed-line 0208 telephone number from the caller’s perspective. They dial the same number of digits. They wait for the same amount of time for their call to connect but with Cleartone, you can have a professional welcome message greet all callers with your company name. Another difference with a virtual 0208 number is that it does not tie you down to a geographical location, however.

This is because fixed-line 0208 phone numbers are part of the capital’s offering. Along with 0203, 0204 and 0207 numbers, 0208 numbers are associated with London and its worldwide recognition as a business hub. However, with a virtual number, callers will be forwarded instantly and answered on any phone you like. For example, when you buy an 0208 number, you could have it route all inbound calls to your mobile. There again, you might set it so that you can answer your calls made to it from an office in Glasgow, Belfast, Madrid, Manchester or anywhere in the world if you wanted.

In short, the service offered by Cleartone Communications is extremely versatile when it comes to 0208 numbers. You can even set your 0208 phone number to ring in different places at the same time or on different phone lines depending on what time of the day it happens to be!
