Phone.com Helps U.S. Companies Go Global

Published December 16th, 2008 by Jennifer LeClaire

So you want to do business overseas? Well, that doesn’t mean you need to pick up your bag, book a flight to London and rent a serviced office from Avanta or Regus. In fact, it doesn’t even mean you have to use the virtual office services of the leading global executive office suite brands.

Phone.com is taking the expense out of doing business globally – at least when it comes to telecommunications. Phone.com is offering American companies local phone numbers in more than 40 overseas countries. That means non-U.S. prospects and customers can reach U.S. offices with a local call.

Global Benefits
As I see it, this is more impressive than an 800 number. 800 numbers are great for in-country customers that live in a different state. But once you set your sights on going global, the better route may be to have an in-country number. Folks want to make a local call, and, what’s more, want to feel like they are dealing with a company that has a local presence.

Services like Phone.com level the playing field for small businesses. Entrepreneurs and SMEs can instantly create an international brand image once reserved for larger enterprises. Phone.com’s service works well, seamlessly routing overseas inbound calls to the American office.

Counting the Costs
What’s the cost? Good question. Surprisingly little, actually. There is no set-up cost. The monthly fee ranges $4.88 to $12.88, depending on country you choose. This is a true value. It’s one thing to have a postal box in another country. It’s another thing altogether to have a local phone number to go along with it.

For customers calling your office, they pay only the price of a local call in their country. They also save time because they don’t have to go through the process of dialing extra digits to call overseas to reach the U.S. office.

“This is also helpful and extremely cost-effective if a U.S.-based company has employees or reps calling the U.S. office frequently from another country. We are very pleased to be offering international phone numbers to our customers,” says Ari Rabban, Phone.com CEO. “We have many customers with clients overseas and they can now provide such clients with a local number in that client’s own country. This will make it much easier and cheaper for them to contact the U.S.”

Who is Phone.com?
In case you aren’t familiar with the brand, Phone.com is a one-stop-shop virtual phone company and portal, offering a suite of phone services designed for entrepreneurs, home offices, small businesses and households.

Phone.com is a company you can trust to meet your global telecom needs. The company won the 2007 Internet Telephony “Product of the Year” award. In October 2008, Phone.com became the first virtual telecom company to launch a voicemail transcription service, and it is now the first to offer International Branding through Global Numbers with local phone numbers in other countries.
