Changing your Business Phone Number when you Move Office

One of the biggest hassles for a company moving office, is the upheaval of having to change their business phone number.  It can be expensive having to reprint every piece of stationery, and the hassle of having to inform everyone about your new business phone number can be time-consuming and frustrating.

If you’re moving office within the same telephone exchange, it may be possible to retain your existing business phone number. To find out whether it’s possible, you should contact your telecoms provider so that you are well-prepared in the event that you cannot retain your business phone number.

There are, however, a number of telecom solutions available to you that you may wish to consider in order to keep your existing business phone number "for life"; having a Non-Geographic Telephone Number, as the name suggests, is not assigned to any particular geographic location, giving your business easy portability when you move office. A PBX Phone System is another option because it is not dependent on telephone lines and phone networks, and can also be integrated with any mobile devices you use. The advantage of both these telecoms systems is that your business phone number will always remain constant wherever you choose to move office to.
