Using 0208 Numbers: Maximising the Benefits for Your Business

In today’s world of smartphones and evolved communications, a landline number can often seem unnecessary, especially in London.

There are many other options. A mobile phone is available at all times and on the move. Then there are numerous web-based options, such as those available from Smart Numbers.

However, sometimes choosing a 0208 number can have multiple benefits for your business. Here are just a few of the reasons why a 0208 number could be a smart move for your business.

Professionalism

Whilst technology has progressed rapidly, attitudes haven’t always caught up. There are many people who still look at a mobile phone number with a degree of suspicion. For some, an ‘07’ prefix shouts ‘fly-by-night cowboy’ or ‘impoverished wannabe’. Whether we like it or not, a landline number is a bit more professional. And these days, it’s perfectly possible to access a landline number via your convenient smartphone handset.

But why not go one step further? If you can use a landline number from your mobile phone, don’t settle for any old landline number, let alone your one-horse town telephone code. Instead create an authentic London presence for yourself with a 0208 number.

An outer-London number will confer additional status on your business, wherever it’s located. This is especially important if you’re working in certain fields such as financial services, publishing, or internationally. Nothing screams success like a London office, so let everyone think that’s where you are. Even if you’re in a barn-conversion in Shropshire!
