Alltel Local Numbers

Local Number is an inbound number service that makes it easy for your business to reach out to customers outside your local area. As virtual ‘local’ numbers, these help you capture a national market while offering local call rates in any major Australian city— regardless of where your business is located.

The phone numbers used to dial your Local Number service are called Direct In Dial (DID) numbers. You can select a DID number in any state or region, and route all calls to a single office. So if you have a business in Sydney, you’re not limited to using (02) numbers. You can still advertise ‘local’ DIDs and attract customers from Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

An Alltel Local Number service uses virtual inbound numbers that use local area codes (eg. 02, 03, 07, 08). But unlike landline numbers, these are solely used for receiving calls and do not require new phone lines. Calls to your DIDs are redirected to one or more of your existing business phones, or to a Live Answering service and cost as little as a standard local call.

You may choose to keep your existing landline and VoIP numbers by transferring them to your Alltel Local Number Service. In addition to advertising DIDs to your customers directly, they can be assigned as answerpoints for your 1300/1800 numbers to take advantage of the benefits that both numbers provide.
