Business phone numbers with Colt

Deciding what type of business phone number your organisation needs can be a tricky decision. There are plenty of different options that serve a variety of purposes, so it’s important that you find the right one best suited for your organisation.

There are many questions you need to consider when deciding which number is most appropriate for your organisation:

How do I get my customers to get in touch with my organisation? Do I want my organisation to pay the full cost of the call? How do I demonstrate our organisation’s presence in different locations? Do you need an advanced call plan to effectively manage your calls?

With Colt we can answer all these questions, and set up your organisation with the business phone number you need to best serve your business.
