Should my business have a London telephone number?
London has always been considered the place where “most business is done” and for that reason alone, many businesses, irrespective of their location, set themselves up with a local London telephone number. London is not just considered the business hub of the UK, but, it’s also revered as one of the main global businesses hubs across the world. Having a London number for your business instantly increases your credibility to customers across the UK and beyond.
Occupying a physical London office is simply not affordable for many SMB’s or Sole Traders and realistically is only achievable for the world's multinational corporations turning over millions of pounds each year. The world is also an ever changing landscape due to the impact of Covid-19 and the Government’s “stay at home” messaging - offices have changed for the good.
Does that stop you from having a local London telephone number? Absolutely not. Talkin provides exactly what you need - access to hundreds of local geographical regions across the UK, including London’s 02 dialling code without having to have a physical office in the capital. For a lot of our customers, their offices are wherever they are and our Talkin virtual landline number fits round that.
