New York, NY Local Phone Number | Area Code 718

Why should you get a New York City phone number?

#1 Establish a local presence in the U.S. 

With a high-functioning economy and a sizable population who’s willing to spend, the United States is one of the more desirable markets for companies looking to expand their reach. U.S. citizens, however, are typically wary of calls coming from international numbers, or even area codes they don’t recognize. 

It’s practically a necessity, then, for companies that wish to do business in the U.S. to acquire a local phone number. Local numbers are familiar to U.S. customers, who will be more willing to answer your call knowing they won’t be charged exorbitant international calling fees.  

For companies that want to establish a local presence in the U.S. and earn the trust of U.S. customers, a local telephone number is a great first step.  

#2 Receive cheaper international calls

With a local phone number from CloudTalk, you’ll no longer have to pay steep international calling fees. 

Once you’ve built relationships with customers in the U.S., you’ll want to be able to field their calls without having to pay high international calling rates. 

Acquiring a local number through CloudTalk is a great way to avoid these fees, and save your customers the uncertainty of dialing an international or toll-free (800) number. 

#3 Set the hours that you are reachable

CloudTalk lets you easily set business hours for your international phone numbers, so it’s always clear to your customers when they can and can’t reach you. 

You can pre-record customized messages for your customers during off-hours, letting them know when you’ll be back online to answer their questions. 

#4 Impress your local customers with personalized customer greetings

CloudTalk’s personalized greeting tool lets you pre-record greeting messages for customers who call during off-hours. For companies looking to establish a local presence, this presents a golden opportunity to record a message that will feel familiar to your customers based on their location. 

In New York City, for example, many people pride themselves on being ambitious, career-driven go-getters. It’d make sense, then, to record a greeting for your NYC phone number that lets your customers know you mean business and value their time. 

#5 Optimize your call center workflow with call statistics

With CloudTalk, you can filter your call statistics by phone number. This feature will be especially helpful as you start working with your New York City phone number. 

Every location is different, of course, so being able to analyze statistics like average call handle time and first call resolution for a given local phone number will help you optimize your workflows for that particular region and improve agent performance overall.
