0845 Numbers Can Tell Between Personal & Business Calls

Feb. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- Birmingham, West Midlands, UK: One of the key reasons for the popularity of 0845 number is that it is free for companies to receive calls made to a 0845 number that is pointed to a landline. However, owners of an 0845 number can also receive an added value benefit that allows them to differentiate between personal and business calls through a “call whisper service”.

The “call whisper service” can be used to tell what telephone number has been dialled even before the call has been answered.  If a “call whisper service” is added to a 0845 number you can set a recording (whisper) to be played whenever a call comes in from a certain number.  Then, when a customer dials your 0845 number, you hear a short recorded message or “whisper” when you answer the phone. This can either give the business name if you have multiple companies running under one site or can simply state it is a call for the “0845 number” or a “business call”. The caller continues to hear ringing and doesn’t hear the whisper. This service is a fantastic tool used to distinguish between callers who have dialled the publicized business numbers or those who have called you directly. This feature works particularly well for smaller businesses that have their 0845 number set to ring at their mobile phone or home landline.  It means that the person answering the call can distinguish whether the call is a business call or a personal call when answering the phone.  The technology works brilliantly by enabling the phone to be answered in a professional manner for all business calls and ensuring you always answer you calls in the most effective way for your business.

Commenting on the 0845 numbers “call whisper”, Jemma  Fox, Marketing Director of The 0845 Number Company said: “0845 numbers have proven to work well in the development of a business.  The easy to remember numbers and added features available work as a huge advantage to the business by creating revolutionary aids for the day to day running of the business.  The call whisper service can be an invaluable feature alongside the 0845 number to ensure all calls are answered in a professional and consistent way.”
