What is a local business number?
Local numbers, also known as direct inward dialing (DID) numbers, are specific to a city or region, identified by a unique area code. These numbers are crucial for small businesses as they provide a local presence and credibility, fostering trust among customers in a specific locale. OpenPhone offers local numbers across the United States and Canada, enabling businesses to establish a local presence anywhere they operate.

Benefits of a local business phone number
Local phone numbers offer several benefits that help you establish a stronger connection with customers and help you more effectively manage your business operations.
Having a local phone number helps establish a local presence within a specific area. When you contact target audiences through your local number, this can encourage them to answer. People are far more likely to answer the phone when they believe a local business is attempting to reach them. Otherwise, a lack of recognition could deter people from responding.
When adding local phone numbers for your business, you can keep your personal phone number private while still enabling business calls and texts on your personal cellphone using our Android or iOS mobile apps. By keeping your numbers separate, you’ll always be able to tell when an incoming call is for work when using a personal device.
See all your business communications in one place. That way, none of your important conversations fall through the cracks.
Save even more money upfront as you won’t need to add any extra hardware to your existing phone systems. A virtual number lets you call and text from any computer, mobile phone, or other smart device.

OpenPhone allows users to add as many numbers as they want for their business. Whether you need numbers for multiple locations, departments, or geo-targeted prospects, you can add an unlimited number of local phone numbers. You can then assign these numbers to teammates and begin using them to connect with existing and potential customers through calls or text messages.
The primary difference between local and toll-free numbers is toll-free numbers charge the recipient for incoming calls, not callers. Toll-free numbers also use area codes that aren’t located in any one local region, so they’re a great option if you want to offer nationwide customer support.
