Being reachable by phone is more important than ever for businesses. Since the COVID-19 crisis, customer contact has become even more crucial, and the phone remains one of the most preferred contact methods. It allows for personal interaction and provides quick and easy assistance. The new way of working includes flexible locations and employees working from home. It’s essential for business telephony to adapt to this. Belfabriek, a leading provider of business telephony, offers VoIP solutions for companies. These solutions make it possible to forward the company’s landline number to mobile phones, enabling employees to handle business calls from home on their own devices.

Freelancers and Sole Proprietors Need a Business Number

Business telephony isn’t just for large companies; it’s also highly beneficial for sole proprietors and freelancers. A mobile number often doesn’t convey a professional image. Even for sole proprietors or freelancers, it’s better to present themselves as a business rather than an individual. A fixed phone number for customers creates a professional impression. Even when working abroad, it’s possible to maintain a Dutch landline number that forwards calls to a mobile device. This is particularly appealing for digital nomads who travel the world while serving clients in the Netherlands.

Announcement Tone Ensures No Surprises

When using a forwarded landline number to a mobile device, employees might be caught off guard by some calls, as personal calls may also come through on the same device.

To ensure users know the nature of incoming calls, Belfabriek offers a service called the announcement tone. With this feature, every business call forwarded from a landline to a mobile device is preceded by a specific tone, ensuring no business call comes as a surprise.
