Nowadays, more and more companies are choosing to use virtual numbers. Yet, there is no shortage of modern communication methods. This leads us to wonder: why this craze for virtual numbers? What is so special about this communication solution?

In reality, whether for a business or an individual, renting a virtual number can offer many advantages. At Octopush, we invite you to discover these benefits together and learn how to make the most of them.

What is a virtual number?

In short, a virtual number is a phone number linked to a virtual SIM configured on servers. Consequently, it operates via the cloud and relies on an internet connection.

As mentioned earlier, virtual numbers are much more advantageous than traditional numbers.

For instance, we can note that:

• Virtual numbers use the internet to make or receive calls and SMS
• Virtual phone numbers can be used on various devices (computers, smartphones, landlines, etc.)
• Virtual numbers provide global coverage
• Virtual mobile telephony allows for local pricing

What are the features of virtual numbers at Octopush?

Octopush is at your disposal to help you purchase your mobile number.

First and foremost, please note that virtual numbers offer numerous features. These features may vary from one provider to another.

At Octopush, our virtual numbers are used exclusively for conversational SMS. In other words, purchasing a mobile number from us does not currently allow you to make calls. Aware of the value that SMS can bring to our clients, we have chosen to specialize first in sending virtual messages.

Why buy a mobile number from Octopush?

There are many reasons why we highly recommend using our conversational service via virtual messages.

Fast, seamless, and efficient communication through a specialized platform

One of the significant advantages our users enjoy is our specialized SMS sending platform. While it is true that SMS messaging ensures a high open and deliverability rate, sending simple text messages is not enough to guarantee effective communication.

That is why Octopush users have access to a specialized platform. Say goodbye to manual typing and hello to automation. This process allows for genuine dialogue with your customers, bringing you even closer to them.

In short, our conversational SMS service is flawless in terms of fluidity and speed, helping you maintain unparalleled proximity with your customers.

A process that builds trust with your customers, prospects, and international partners

What makes Octopush virtual numbers so interesting is that you have access to 33 different locations. For example, you can easily be based in France and purchase a number in Switzerland or Canada. Whether you are looking to reach Paris, Luxembourg, or any other city in Europe, buy your mobile number from Octopush.

This international coverage allows you to contact various parties using local numbers. This helps your international contacts feel much more confident in you. When someone is contacted by a foreign number, there is always a lingering fear of scams.

This is why it is to your advantage to purchase a mobile number from their local area before sending a message to an international contact.

Buy a mobile number for a much more cost-effective conversational service

Following this same logic, using mobile telephony also allows you to make significant financial savings. Since you have the option to use various locations, you no longer need to send international messages at often exorbitant rates.

Instead, you simply rent a virtual number in the location of your choice to benefit from local sending rates.

Please note, however, that each mobile number corresponds to one location. You will therefore need to rent several if you need to maintain an international presence. With Octopush, this process is much easier. A single registration (one account) is all you need to rent as many virtual numbers from different locations as you wish.

Buy a mobile number for much better proximity to your customers

For any business, successfully maintaining good customer proximity is essential, whether to build customer loyalty, attract new ones, or convert prospects into clients.

At Octopush, this is exactly what we offer with the help of our powerful conversational service. The combination of our virtual number SMS offers and our specialized platform will undoubtedly allow you to create and maintain that all-important relationship with your contacts.
