Your own business telephone number

Business calls are critical to the success of your organisation.  Pocket Dial can help make you look more professional, by providing you with a separate business telephone number to advertise as your own!

There’s 2 main solutions: Dial Divert for easy call redirection and Dial Direct if you want more control over your call handling – find out more below.

What’s Pocket Dial – Divert?

A simple and straightforward solution – we provide a business number and divert your calls through it.

You can use the business telephone numbers we supply as your own to publish on your website, social media or literature. This will allow you to look more professional and frees you from publicising your personal number for receiving business calls.

More About Dial Divert.....

Choose our Divert solution and you can pick a business telephone number*, which your calls will be diverted through** so they arrive at the personal number of your choice.  You’ll be able to publish the Pocket Dial number as your own business line and answer the calls on your own mobile or landline.

What’s more, if you’re busy, unavailable or away, then we can answer calls on your behalf!  Simply bolt on one of our Pocket P.A. packages in order for us to step in and assist and we will answer calls professionally in your company name – easy!

It’s important to note that you can only receive calls to your business number on a Dial Divert plan. If you want to make outgoing calls via your business number you will need to explore one of our Dial Direct service plans.

    “The Phone Mast Company have used the services of Pocket Office™ for over a year now and have not had a single problem to date. The business runs very smoothly and Jess makes the overlap between our staff and Pocket Office™ seamless. Our letters are sent promptly, our cheques are paid in very quickly. Any incoming post is scanned to us, and the relevant employee copied in. We are very happy and hope to continue using them for the foreseeable future.”

    Gemma Wright - The Phone Mast Company

    “If you are looking to start your business either online or office based, I can not recommend Pocket Office™ enough, the location here in Oswestry is perfectly located with very easy access to road links either Shrewsbury direction or Chester. I opted for the telephone service which for myself is spot on just what the doctor ordered, the person on the telephone is always polite & friendly so I would recommend this service. The offices are clean & well maintained as are all the surrounding grounds, as we all know first impressions are important & they have it spot on.”

    Mark Smart - The Fuel Cap Company

    “I’m currently using The Pocket Office™ mail plan virtual office service which has been amazing for my business. It allows me to keep my home address separate from my business which is great for any documentation. In addition to this, I’m able to direct all of my post to their reception which means I never have to worry about staying in for a parcel or letter. I highly recommend using Pocket Office™ plans to further grow your business!”
