    An Overview

    Most telephone numbers are assigned to the town or city within the UK. Non-geographic numbers are not assigned according to a geographic location. Instead, they are virtual telephone numbers that can be used no matter where your business is located in the UK.

    Non-geographic numbers can be mapped to any existing phone number and can be routed anywhere, even routed internationally, so you've no need to ever miss another important telephone call. Depending on what number you choose to use your customers may see these numbers as local domestic numbers, no matter where they’re calling from, making it affordable for them to contact your business anytime. Fractal Telecom offers a variety of non-geographic number ranges, so you can select the type that works best for your business.

    Understanding Numbers

    What are NGN numbers?

    NGN is an abbreviation to describe the non-geographic number. Put simply a non-geographic number is one not linked to any specific location. That said some number ranges can be set up to give the same level of programability for UK standard area codes.

    What features are available?

    Having an advertised number routed to an intelligent network allows you to set up multiple options for 'if this then that' (ITTT). The level of programability is immense, if you want to know more then please click here.

    Why would I use one?

    Non geographic numbers are a great way for you to advertise a local presence , or can be deployed with a more anonymous number (03xx or 08xx) to drive sales across the UK. They provide realtime calling reports to help you analyse your advertisning and marketing spend.

    How is it delivered?

    All virtual and non geographic numbers are delivered to ordinary lines via an Intelligent Network, this allows for conditions to be set (and changed when needed) so call flow is achieved in an efficient manner.
