New Local DID Number: Expand Your Business Reach with Bigfoot Voice
At Bigfoot Voice, we understand the importance of a professional and local business presence. That's why we offer the option to add a new local Direct Inward Dialing (DID) number to your hosted IP PBX system. This feature allows you to establish a local presence in any area code of your choice, enhancing your business's accessibility and customer engagement.
Why a New Local DID Number Matters
A local DID number provides a sense of geographical proximity to your customers, improving their perception of your business and fostering trust. It also allows you to expand your business reach beyond your physical location, enabling you to serve a broader customer base and tap into new markets.
How It Works
When you request a new local DID number, we search our Flowroute inventory for available numbers in the desired area code. Once you select a number from the available options, we provision the DID in Flowroute and assign it to your trunk. We then configure inbound routing in FusionPBX to ensure that incoming calls are correctly routed to the appropriate destination, extension, ring group, IVR, or other settings.
What to Expect
- Availability: Not all area codes have inventory, so some metro area codes may be exhausted. In such cases, we may suggest overlay area codes for the same region.
- Timeline: New local DIDs are typically available within minutes to 1 business day.
- Monthly Recurring Charges: Monthly charges apply per DID.
- E911 Registration: If you plan to use the new DID for outbound calling, ensure you confirm your E911 address registration for each new DID.
