It’s very easy to request a regional number from Belfabriek. A regional number is a phone number linked to telephone networks in a specific city and/or region. Below is a list of the most requested regional numbers:

  • 010 numbers (Rotterdam)
  • 020 numbers (Amsterdam)
  • 030 numbers (Utrecht)
  • 070 numbers (The Hague)

Also Ideal for Businesses Outside the Region

Even if your business is not located in the region of the number, you can easily register such a phone number for your business. This is particularly interesting if you plan to do business in that region. A regional number can also have a great image nationwide, especially if the region is centrally located. Businesses operating from a central region can often deliver services quickly to customers elsewhere in the country. This can be lucrative for businesses nationwide, especially for those just outside the region who want to give customers the impression that they are active in that area.

International Advantage

If you think regional numbers are only useful within the Netherlands, think again. With VoIP, you can link a regional number to your mobile phone, allowing you to be reachable on a local number even while traveling abroad. All you need is a mobile phone with an internet connection.

Consider companies that outsource customer service to countries with lower labor costs. This way, for example, an employee in Eastern Europe can answer the phone, while your customer simply dials a 030 number and pays a local rate.

Many companies have already adopted this approach, hiring Dutch-speaking staff in such countries who offer their services at a lower salary. It’s even more cost-effective if you find Dutch-speaking individuals native to those countries.

Transferring Existing Numbers

If you already have one or more phone numbers, it’s possible to transfer them to a VoIP system. Once the numbers are linked to the VoIP system, you can receive calls over the internet. This can be done on a landline phone, a mobile phone, or even a software program that doesn’t require a physical phone.

Subscription costs and standard call charges are generally much lower compared to traditional telephony as we’ve known it for years. In addition to the previously mentioned benefits, VoIP also saves you a significant amount of money.
