Why a local number

Why a 905 number for your business?

A 905 number gives you a local presence in Greater Toronto Area suburbs. Calls with a local caller ID get picked up more often than an unknown or toll-free number, and your clients recognize a neighbour rather than an out-of-province cold call.

  • Picked up more often than a toll-free or out-of-province number.
  • Local trust: clients prefer a vendor from their region.
  • Remote team: everyone calls from anywhere under the same local number.
  • Easy to recall for cards, vehicles and word of mouth.
