What is a Pocket Landline?
‘Pocket Landline’, also known as call forwarding, is a process by which an incoming telephone call to a landline number is routed to your mobile. Business can have a fixed landline number routed to any mobile, giving the flexibility whilst on the move and more importantly making sure that no important calls are being missed. A recent survey carried out indicates that 80% of businesses miss one to five calls a day by being out of the office when the phone rings. Even when calls to mobiles are missed, voicemails and emails can be stored.
For small businesses, having a landline number is important, it looks more professional and customers prefer to call landline numbers that are local and established and helps increase credibility. Pocket Landline allows you to expand your business into new areas without the costs and the risk of taking on new premises and additional staff.
A Pocket Landline is a great way to promote your business and improves customers perception with the added benefit of saving money.

Why Make Calls Using The Mobile Landline Number?
Following a survey of 2000 UK consumers, assessing how they would respond to calls from certain number types, the following information was found:
- 71% were unlikely or would not answer a call from a withheld or unfamiliar number.
- 75% said they would or were more likely to answer a call from a local geographic number.
By overwriting or masking your mobile or home number with your business number as your caller ID, you are more likely to be answered. It is a more trusted number and hopefully familiar to those new or prospective clients that you are calling.
When calling someone's mobile, it is likely they will save your "Calling From" number to their contacts. If you are setting up a Smart Number for your incoming calls, taking advantage of our incoming call management products, presenting your Mobile Landline will keep calls coming in to your main/managed business numbers rather than on a private mobile, which could be turned off, out of signal or just not a convenient time to talk.
