Include your local number for international customers

local numbers for international 800 customers
Toll free numbers are great but don’t forget a local number if you market internationally. Our toll free numbers in North America are good for callers anywhere in the US, Canada and a few small territories, but they’re not able to be used by most of the rest of the world. Some countries have a dial-around access number that lets callers pay the cost to get to the US. But unfortunately there’s no good solution for international 800 service and most people internationally won’t be able to reach you.

I recently read an article on a blog ranting about not being able to reach companies on their toll free number. So if you deal with international customers, make sure you include a local number somewhere too. That’s also a good backup in case anything goes wrong. You may not be able to put it in your advertising but you can put it on your website which is usually listed in your advertising. So don’t forget your international customers.

    International callback (now about 14 years old) is a proven means for global callers anywhere in the world to connect to others using US service providers. It is used by millions of callers to bypass their local monopolies in many countries and save money. BUT one of the cool by-products is that users of callback can reach any and all toll free numbers in the US or Canada! So those customers that will not pay international rates to reach your business with your local number can be given an option that saves them money and builds your business at the same time.

      You guys are great!!! I tried to buy this number from the previous owner and was unsuccessful, even though I offered them more than I invested in your services. I will certainly recommend you to other businesses.

      Thanks.

      Was really impressed with your website and customer process flow earlier today in my transaction. Sites like yours are why I love the internet and love owning an internet email service provider. From idea to completion in under an hour we had a working number. Albiet the transfer process will take a little longer, this process is technology at its finest. Great usage of customer comments/feedback on the site, it builds a lot of confidence in the process. Aweber autoresponders and newsletters increase email deliverability

      I LOVE your site - ecpecially the search feature and your monthly email report.

      I've been totally impressed with your low-key, no-hype, no BS services.
      You've made finding and securing my four (so far) toll-free numbers quick (WOW), easy, and painless. Affordable too.

      Cheers,
