020-7 numbers (central London numbers) give the impression that you do business from central London - universally recognised as one of the world's leading financial and cultural cities. If you are based abroad, an 0207 Virtual Landline Number number can demonstrate your commitment to the UK market, but from a sales standpoint, they are 'less eager' than 08 numbers. One advantage is that 020-7 Virtual Landline Numbers can be reached reliably from overseas, whereas some non-UK telecom companies are unable to route calls to 08XX and 07XX numbers. 020-7 numbers are sophisticated and cosmopolitan ... 'we're based in the capital of Britain'. 0207 numbers are associated with central London. Rightly or wrongly, many people preceive central London based businesses as being bigger and more prestigious. Using a central London phone number may therefore help to assure callers of your good standing and give your contact telephone number more prestige. Alternatively you may be a London business wanting a simple way to get additional phone or fax numbers with the dm features. Callers to these numbers pay the same as they would any London phone number, for some UK callers it may be a local call for some it may be a national rate call (for examples of pricing please visit BT, Virgin/Telewest/NTL etc).
