Why landline phone numbers will be relevant for a long time

    You can often hear that landline phones are yesterday. Everything is okay with cell phones, and if you need a catchy number, you can just take it and buy it from your operator. Indeed, landline landlines as a communication tool are gradually becoming a thing of the past, but short landline numbers - especially with the Moscow code - are still at a great price. Why so?

    City numbers with codes 495 and 499 will be encountered for a long time on all kinds of sites, and there are at least three reasons for this:
    1. Kudos. This is the main advantage of Moscow registration. The city code of telephone numbers of the capital is known to the whole country. Out of habit, most Internet users identify the number +7 (495) XXX-XX-XX with a Moscow office. The chain “Moscow office = large office = must be taken!” Is built up in my head. At the same time, no one thinks that this number is not a city number, but a virtual one connected through an IP-PBX.
    In real life, such a trick can increase sales, or at least - it will distinguish the company from competitors. And it will sooner or later lead to commercial success. No matter what they say, people are attentive to contacts, and when they see a long cell number instead of a city number, they think: “Well, if they couldn’t go broke at the office with a“ pipe ”, should these guys be trusted at all?” And it’s not only a human factor that matters - even Yandex’s search algorithm always carefully looks for a city number on the site or not.

    2. Ease of use. The Moscow number is redirected to a virtual telephone exchange. The office may move, but the room will remain unchanged.
    The only condition is the availability of the Internet. If the company uses IP-PBX, then the number with the code 495 can be made multi-channel, and then it will be possible to receive several customer calls simultaneously using a single telephone number.
    The virtual Moscow number is a solution not only for companies, but also for ordinary people who want to indicate capital contacts on their business cards. You can simply buy a number and forward calls to your mobile. And now you are no longer a freelancer Vasya Ivanov, but an expensive designer from Moscow. Another example: an SMM agency whose employees work remotely can also use a Moscow city number - this will immediately add solidity. The service is not tied to a specific place and can work using the forwarding settings to a mobile phone or computer. Why pay for an expensive office in Moscow, when you can sit in coworking or even at home and still remain a "solid businessman"?

    3. Relative availability. The price of the “Moscow residence permit” depends on the tariff plan, on the serving conditions, as well as on the combination of numbers - beautiful rooms, of course, are more expensive. For example, at CloverTel, connecting a regular number will cost 890 rubles, and the price of a beautiful number can reach tens of thousands of rubles. There is active demand for both those and other numbers. In the conditions of falling sales, regional businessmen are ready to invest in their image and do not spare money to buy a beautiful Moscow license plate.

    What conclusion can be drawn from all this? Firstly, in the near future we will find a lot of "Moscow" offices. And secondly, if you do not want to fall for the bait, carefully read the section "Contacts". Thirdly, if you yourself thought about a beautiful Moscow issue, hurry up - they are taken apart like hot cakes.
