Which Type of Number
Suits Your Business?

Local Number

A local number is a telephone number whose digit structure contains geographic information tying it to a particular city or region.

Available codes for South Africa

Johannesburg (10), Cape Town (21), Pretoria (12), and many more.

National Number

Unlike local phone numbers, national numbers are not tied to a particular city or region. Pricing for making phone calls from CloudTalk on a national number is the same as it is for our local numbers. Placing calls into a national CloudTalk phone number should incur the same charges as local numbers. However, each carrier around the world determines its own pricing policies.

Available codes for South Africa

Mobile Number

The mobile numbers that CloudTalk offers are not linked to SIM cards and can be used in the same way as local numbers and national numbers.

Available codes for South Africa

Toll-Free Number

CloudTalk can also provide toll-free numbers, which are unique in that they confer calling charges on the party receiving the call rather than the party placing it. A toll-free number is identified by the dialing prefix (e.g., 800, 0800, or 1-800).

Why CloudTalk?

With CloudTalk, you get far more than just a virtual number. You’ll get the infrastructure and support system you need to achieve your most ambitious global growth goals.

Remote working and
geographical flexibility

Having a virtual number allows you to provide customer care across time zones using any device with an internet connection. Route your incoming calls from designated regions or countries to another device or to the right agents. Set personalized greetings or business hours.

Improved pick-up rates
for outbound calls

Choosing a local virtual number allows you to provide your clients with services from familiar numbers. When a client sees a local caller ID instead of an unfamiliar foreign number, he or she is more likely to pick up the phone.

Utilize Call Statistics
for Optimization

Make better business decisions based on real data. With CloudTalk, you can easily filter call statistics by phone number. Use the data to make continuous improvements on the quality of your service and overall team productivity.

Turn your CloudTalk into a much larger and powerful tool

Expand your business toolstack with a business calling software that can be easily integrated into your existing CRMs, ecommerce or helpdesk tools, like Salesforce, Freshdesk, Help Scout, and dozens more.
