Business Phone Number
Business phone numbers increase your company’s credibility, increase brand awareness, and allow you to keep personal phone numbers private. Business phone numbers provide your customers with an easier way to contact you, increase consumer trust, and differentiate you from your competitors. However, selecting the correct number and provider for your company is crucial.
What Is A Business Phone Number?
Business phone numbers are numbers that aren’t attached to one specific phone system. This means you can use the same number on different devices and in other places – even on the go – via an app provided by service providers.
To get started, all you have to do is download the number provider app, select the plan and virtual business phone numbers you want, then pay (generally monthly). The entire process usually takes less than a day, if not less than an hour.

Modern Business Phone Number Features
Call Barging
Enhance your agent’s performance, customer satisfaction, and call quality simultaneously using CallHippo’s call barging feature. Listen to the calls live and get an opportunity to guide your agents, intervene, and offer better resolutions to your customers from anywhere in the world.
Smart Call Forwarding
With this feature, the user can forward incoming calls to an alternate number so that the caller doesn’t return unanswered when the user is busy. It forwards the call without even letting the caller know what is happening in the background. Forward your call to any landline, cell phone, or virtual phone from anywhere and at any time. You can even integrate smart extension menus to forward calls to the right person with the help of customer’s input.
Call Queuing Software
During the peak hours of a business, the volume of incoming calls is quite large and as a result, all calls cannot be attended at once. In such situations, a call queue feature on the business telephone number systematically transfers calls as and when operators become available. It also takes into account priority customers.
Voice Mail
Virtual voicemails help a business stay organized and productive. For every number, you get a different voicemail so that you never miss the details of a call. The voicemail gets directly delivered to your email, and you can access it from there.
Call Analytics
Determining the marketing policy of your company is utmost important. Features like Call Analytics provides an in-depth report on Call Volume, Duration of calls, and Routing incoming & outgoing calls. It lets you optimize the sales process and build data-driven strategies.
Call Hold Audio
When any customer is kept on hold, they usually have to listen to the annoying beeps. But, CallHippo offers its clients to make their customers listen to peppy music with its on hold music feature. This feature dissuades customers from hanging up and helps them stay longer online. You can even customize this feature with a specific song that fits in your business or a personalized message. It also enables you to uphold the image of your business.
