Inbound Numbers

Using Non Geographic Numbers is a great way to track the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and to provide Business Continuity as re-routing of incoming calls can be made quick and simple.

Non-Geographic Numbers are not linked to a specific geographic area or dial code and are therefore attractive for marketing purposes as they will attract calls locally and nationally without geographic bias and give companies a nationwide presence.

Maintel’s online portal also allows customers to change the routing of incoming calls in real time which makes the use of Non Geographic Numbers ideal for Business Continuity Management. To view more information about Maintel's online portal please click here. 

08 and 03 numbers

08 number ranges are well established and understood by callers whilst new 03 number ranges have been introduced to make the cost of calling Non-Geographic Numbers clearer.

Some 08 number ranges offer a revenue share where a portion of the cost of a call is rebated to the company receiving the call turning incoming calls in to a revenue stream - For more information please click here.

Maintel can provide new numbers and also seamlessly take over existing numbers from other providers.

Virtual numbers

Virtual Numbers work in exactly the same way as Non Geographic Numbers but look like standard telephone numbers with a recognised dial code (e.g. 0207 for central London).

However by virtualising the number within the network we remove the geographic link, which means a London number could just as easily ring phones in Glasgow.

Maintel can provide new virtual numbers or virtualise existing telephone numbers. This is of particular use when closing sites down, moving offices or downsizing allowing existing numbers to be retained but not necessarily with physical lines attached to them and is considerably cheaper than BT's remote call forwarding option (RCF).
