Is your company ready for Brexit? https://www.teleforwarding.com/blog/is-your-company-ready-for-the-brexit/ Sun, 10 Feb 2019 22:37:29 +0000 https://www.teleforwarding.com/?p=7517 brexit-phone-numbers

Brexit is the consequence of a 2016 referendum in the United Kingdom.

We all remember the first “official” date of Brexit – March 29th, 2019.  After the original Brexit delay, the status of Brexit has been up in the air. The latest date: October 31st, 2019.

The British, Europeans, and the rest of the world are more uncertain than ever about the status of Brexit and what Brexit means for them. And what about for you? It seems that Brexit is becoming an expensive game of cat and mouse.

What we do know about Brexit’s effects so far is that immediately following its announcement, stock prices dropped substantially. The power of the British Pound Sterling and the Euro have become weak. Export rates have risen. Expats working abroad are worried about their job security.

Whether we end up with a Brexit deal or no deal, it’s safe to say that the global economy will be affected.

Here’s how we can help!

Are you worried about what Brexit will mean for your current geo and toll-free numbers? In light of this uncertainty, we understand you want to be independent from these worries. That’s why we are offering a deal to port all current local and toll-free numbers from any provider to TeleForwarding without consequence.

Since our headquarters is located in Amsterdam, we have a strong globally focused team who will do what it takes to make an easy transition through Brexit. We want to help you make the transition to a post-Brexit world as easy as possible, and even save you money in the process.

Would you like to know more about what TeleForwarding can do for your phone numbers? Simply contact us and mention our promo code BREXIT19 to profit from this Brexit deal!

Emergency phone numbers for calling in ‘sexual intimidation’ https://www.teleforwarding.com/blog/emergency-phone-numbers/ Fri, 25 May 2018 15:09:25 +0000 https://www.teleforwarding.com/?p=7319 Late April the media brought the remarkable news that “Cannes film festival implements emergency phone numbers for sexual harassment”. The headlines were hard to miss, and especially film producer Harvey Weinstein had to endure a lot because of his sexual escapades, so to say.

Emergency phone numbers can be used for a number of reasons, like disasters, accidents, outings etc. However, a 0800 number for calling in ‘sexual intimidation’ is a new phenomenon and thus interesting to have a closer look at.

0800 emergency phone numbers

The French hotline that Cannes Film Festival implemented is meant to both combat and prevent sexual harassment, but if it does happen people can reach the hotline 24/7 and automated registration of the number of calls. This is important to measure the actual success.

Organisations that suspects the existence of sexual harassment or intimidation in their offices would do good to offer their staff a similar internal 0800 number which they can reach 24/7. Are you interested to know whether a 0800 emergency phone number can offer your organisation and its clients or customers the same feeling of safety and protection? Feel free to contact us for more information and take advantage of our special discount!

National phone numbers remain of great value for travelers https://www.teleforwarding.com/blog/national-phone-numbers-remain-of-great-value-for-travelers/ Wed, 11 Apr 2018 15:30:50 +0000 https://www.teleforwarding.com/?p=7275

Good news for all travelers that venture outside their borders and want to make calls from abroad! From July 1 2017 on European law forbids mobile providers to calculate extra costs for calling and using the internet abroad any more.

From now on mobile subscriptions will provide coverage against the standard tariff in all European member states. This means that calling the home front from all European member states will be settled within the call bundle, without extra costs. But be aware! When you’re abroad and calling with a local phone number (one that’s foreign for you) then costs will be calculated.

The travel business and national phone numbers

For travel organisations that serve an international clientele, this new European legislation makes it easier to serve international customers as well, and bind them by using foreign phone numbers from the home countries of these customers/travelers. The incoming call will be forward to headquarters 1:1. Think about business travel agencies, but also the rapidly emerging online travel agencies.

By implementing phone numbers from different countries travel agencies can now provide support on national phone numbers fro countries where their customer live and work, without them being confronted with extra costs in case they need assistance by phone whenever trouble or questions arise. Travelers can call their travel agents or support desks on the spot, without any extra costs.

Travel organisations only need one phone number per country for complete support, from questions about destinations to reservations and emergency assistance. This clarity will be much appreciated by travelers and contributes to an optimal travel experience.

Callers also prefer using a familiar phone number because they trust these, there’s no language barrier and the lack of fear of extra costs paves the way for travel agencies to improve loyalty to their customers.

Are you, as a provider of trips for international customers, interested to know more about what this development can mean for your organisation? Please contact us to get more information and take advantage of our special discount!

What are the differences between 088 numbers and 0800/0900 numbers? https://www.teleforwarding.com/blog/what-are-the-differences-between-088-numbers-and-08000900-numbers/ https://www.teleforwarding.com/blog/what-are-the-differences-between-088-numbers-and-08000900-numbers/#view_comments Thu, 14 Apr 2016 13:09:58 +0000 https://www.teleforwarding.com/?p=5423 088 numbersMost companies are familiar with service numbers, that have the prefixes 0800 and 0900. But the increasing popularity of the 088 company numbers in the Netherlands make a lot of entrepreneurs wonder if these numbers are a better option as compared to the traditional service numbers.

To make sure you understand the differences between the two types of numbers we’ll explain the differences between 088 and 0800/0900 service numbers, both of which are registrable with TeleForwarding. We’ll give an outline of the similarities between both types of numbers as well.

Non-geographical number

Even though the three-digit prefix implies otherwise, 088 numbers are non-geographical numbers. The consumer has gotten used to these phone numbers lately en recognizes them as domestic numbers. Using 088 numbers will give your organization a national appearance.

Choose from many numbers

088 numbers are not as popular as 0800/0900 numbers yet, but they rapidly gain popularity and are being  used more and more. Smart entrepreneurs hop on the bandwagon en profit from the many beautiful numbers series that are currently still available. You can even register a 088 name number.

Call costs

Dialing a 088 number will never cost more than the local tariff, which keeps the costs for the caller clear and transparent. For you as a company it’s the opposite: a 0800 number is the most expensive because the calling costs are for you. With a 0900 number you can choose to charge the caller a lower rate or even make profit on call costs. A 088 number is ideal, since the callers pays part of the costs and you are only charged with a fixed low fee per minute.

Global call forwarding

The service numbers and 088 numbers are all virtual or non-geographical numbers, which means these have to be connected to existing phone numbers. You automatically direct callers to a certain department, or your mobile phone after business hours. It’s ideal for employees that work from home as well.

Are you considering using 088 numbers for your business? Or maybe you’re not convinced yet, and need some more  information? Give us a call on +800 00123456 or send us an email at info@teleforwarding.com!

New Geographical Numbers at TeleForwarding https://www.teleforwarding.com/blog/new-geographical-numbers/ https://www.teleforwarding.com/blog/new-geographical-numbers/#view_comments Wed, 11 Nov 2015 14:51:18 +0000 https://www.teleforwarding.com/?p=4815 geographical numbersAt TeleForwarding we are always looking to expand our services and so we are happy to announce that we have been able to add several hundred new Local phone numbers, also called geographical numbers, to our number portfolio.

Local phone numbers

A local phone number, or geographical phone number, looks like a normal landline number and has a local call prefix or area code. Callers will recognize these numbers as local phone numbers they can call at a local rate. All incoming calls to our virtual numbers can be forwarded to any landline, mobile phone or IP address in the world, making these numbers very useful for any business wanting to reach local customers without having to set up regional offices everywhere.

We have added hundreds of new geographical numbers to our portfolio, these include numerous new towns in the United States, new national numbers in Algeria and Sri Lanka and several cities in Russia and China.
