Inbound Services are the methods in which your customers or prospects contact you and how then you want those telephone calls to be treated.

We have a range of both Non Geographic numbers like 0800, 0844, 0871 etc, where you can appear more of a national company or even earn revenue on calls made to you, and we also Geographic numbers like 0207, or 0161

Inbound solutions can be used to create the image you want for your company, whether that be one of a company with a national pesence or be seen as a more intimate local company.  Inbound numbers can also be used as a Disaster Recovery solution where a simple click can translate inbound calls to an alternative location in the event communication is not possible from your usual place of work.

Once you have chosen a suitable number, we have 3 options on how you would like your inbound calls to be managed, all of which have a user friendly control panel interface giving you total control of how to handle your calls.
