An updated guide to getting your Smartnumber

A big change has recently happened to the process of getting your own smartnumbers. So we at Alltel decided to give you an updated guide to help you through this process. To begin, let’s discuss what Smartnumbers are, how they can benefit your business, and finally--how to get one today.

What are Smartnumbers?

Smartnumbers are highly memorable inbound numbers that are considered the best available numbers. They can either be 13, 1300, or 1800 numbers. Instead of choosing from a pool of random numbers, this service allows you to have two types of inbound numbers. They could either spell out a business name/service or come in number patterns that give an instant recall.

How do they work?

These numbers function in the same way as pooled virtual numbers. They can be pointed to answer points such as your landline, mobile phone, or even an after-hours live answering service. Since you’d own the rights to your number, you never have to change your business number again.

Are they worth the cost?

DEFINITELY. Let’s face it, people have shorter and shorter attention spans. While online shopping is slowly getting traction, most people still prefer making a phone call before completing a purchase. Think about all the sales leads you’d be capturing through smart numbers. The routing options allow you to have the flexibility of taking business calls whenever, wherever!

How do I get them?

Alltel has a pool of available 13, 1300 and 1800 Smartnumbers that you can purchase directly from our online shop. Once you’ve found the number you want, choose one of our number plans and customise your service with your preferred call routing and add-ons. Submit your details and your order is good to go!

If the number you want must be purchased from ACMA, you can choose to email, chat, or call our B2B specialists, and we will be glad to assist you with securing your number. Once that’s settled, we’ll handle the rest for you.
