Social networks, virtual numbers, instant messaging, collaborative platforms, etc. With today’s technological advances, there is no shortage of communication methods. To manage their internal and external communication, companies are spoilt for choice. However, today, virtual mobile telephony is becoming increasingly popular. 

Indeed, telephony offers many more advantages professionally speaking. Especially in business. So it’s not surprising that companies are gradually turning to this “new” solution. 

But what are the real advantages of virtual mobile telephony? Octopush answers you right now through this file.  

What is a virtual number? 

Much more innovative than the classic phone system, the virtual number still benefits from its numerous advantages. Particularly its ability to directly contact phone numbers through calls and SMS.

Simply put, a virtual phone number is a number hosted in the cloud. It is therefore not associated with any fixed line and works through the Internet. A solution that allows companies to have an innovative communication technology, but also very advantageous for direct contact with third parties. 

Why is the use of mobile telephony still important for professionals? 

First of all, it should be noted that despite the many digital communication channels, the telephone remains one of the most important. Indeed, in the professional world, having the possibility to directly contact customers and partners is a considerable advantage. 

Mobile telephony creates a direct link with your contacts 

The interesting thing about using virtual numbers is that even if your communication depends on an internet connection, your contacts don’t need one. 

Do you need to contact a customer, a partner or a supplier? Thanks to a virtual number, you can directly call them or send them an SMS. And in turn, they will be able to answer you easily.  

Having a virtual number allows you to create a direct link, to get even closer to your third parties. Especially, to get closer to your customers, but also to your prospects. 

Mobile telephony allows for a much better delivery of information 

For a company, having an efficient communication system is of paramount importance. This efficiency is measured mainly by the capacity of the information to be transmitted to its recipient. This is not always the case with traditional communication methods. 

On the contrary, thanks to the use of virtual numbers, this deliverability of information is ensured. Indeed, a company can for example choose to send an SMS to its customers to announce a special offer. An important information that can not be transmitted through a simple email or a message on social networks. 

Thanks to mobile telephony and virtual numbers, a company can be sure that the information has really reached its recipient.
