Social media, virtual numbers, instant messaging, collaborative platforms, and more. With today's technological advances, there is no shortage of communication methods. Businesses have plenty of options when it comes to managing their internal and external communications. However, virtual mobile telephony is increasingly standing out.

Telephony offers many more professional advantages, especially for businesses. It is therefore no surprise that companies are gradually moving toward this "new" solution.

But what are the real benefits of virtual mobile telephony? Octopush answers this for you right now in this guide.

What is a virtual number?

Far more innovative than traditional telephone systems, virtual numbers still retain many of their benefits, particularly the ability to contact phone numbers directly via calls and SMS.

Simply put, a virtual phone number is a number hosted in the cloud. It is not associated with any landline and operates via the internet. This solution provides businesses with innovative communication technology that is also highly advantageous for direct contact with third parties.

Why does mobile telephony remain important for professionals?

First and foremost, it should be noted that despite the many digital communication channels available, the telephone remains one of the most important. In the professional world, the ability to contact clients and partners directly is a significant advantage.

Mobile telephony creates a direct link with your contacts

What is interesting about using virtual numbers is that even though your communication depends on an internet connection, your contacts do not need one.

Need to contact a client, partner, or supplier? With a virtual number, you can call or text them directly. In turn, they can easily respond to you.

Having a virtual number allows you to create a direct link, bringing you even closer to your third parties—especially your clients and prospects.

Mobile telephony enables much better information deliverability

For a business, having an effective communication system is of capital importance. This effectiveness is measured primarily by the ability of information to reach its recipient, which is not always the case with traditional communication methods.

On the contrary, using virtual numbers ensures this information deliverability. For example, a company can choose to send an SMS to its customers to announce a special offer—important information that might otherwise be missed in a simple email or social media post.

Thanks to mobile telephony and virtual numbers, a business can ensure that information has actually reached its recipient.
