LoCAL phone numbers

FOR BUSINESS

For a business, a phone number is also a mark of identity. For example, it informs potential customers about the location(s) in which the business operates. With Pro-Talk you can purchase numbers in many cities around the world, from prices as low as €3 per month. You can use the numbers to make and receive phone calls at our extraordinary low rates! The result? You save hundreds of Euro/Pounds each year because you pay for only what you use rather than being tied to any "Package". And because we offer numbers from a range of cities around the world, you can purchase numbers in cities where you have no physical presence but where you want to do business. For example, you may have an office in Dublin but wish to attract customers from London. You can purchase a London landline number and put this on your website or headed paper. Now, potential customers in London will be able to call the number at their local rates - they save money and you attract extra business! This is often referred to as establishing a "virtual office". And you can do this for numerous cities, with no minimum contracts or other commitments!

FOR RESIDENTIAL

Businesses aren't the only ones who can benefit from our Local Numbers. If you are off on holiday and want to stay in touch with your family at home, you can purchase a local number in your home town and forward this to your mobile or a landline in the place you are visiting. In this way, your family will be able to call a local number and you will be able to answer the phone on your mobile abroad without needing internet, paying our low rates for the call to your mobile. No more excessive international call rates, buying calling cards or worrying about roaming charges! Better still, if you have internet access at your destination then you don't need to forward the call to your mobile - you can answer it directly using one of our free, recommended softphones (which is basically an app you can download to your smartphone, tablet or computer). If you do this, you won't pay anything at all when you answer the call!

HOW IT WORKS

You can start using local numbers by following these simple steps:

  • Sign up for a free account with Pro-Talk by clicking on the button below and filling out the form with your details. If you are an existing customer then please click here to order your number.

  • You will be asked on the form whether you wish to subscribe to a local number and, if so, the country and city you wish to subscribe to. Please fill in these fields if you wish to apply for a number. You can find the list of countries and areas which we cover by clicking the "Numbers" link at the top of this page.

  • Some countries impose restrictions on who may obtain local numbers there. For example, the Irish telecoms regulator requires that numbers must be used only by persons resident in the area covered by the number. We can therefore only issue a 3531 number (the code for Dublin, Ireland) to customers who reside in Dublin. If the number you require is restricted then we will email you to ask for documentary proof of residence. See the "Numbers" page for more information about restrictions on specific geographic numbers.

  • Upon receiving satisfactory proof of residence or where the number being sought is not subject to any restriction, we will then issue you with the number. This is subject to you having sufficient credit in your account to purchase the number for one month. Please note that the subscription for the number will automatically be deducted from your account each month until the number is cancelled. It is therefore important to ensure there is sufficient credit in your account to meet the subscription or the number may automatically be cancelled.

  • You can log into your account at any time (using the details emaileed to you after signing up) to add credit so that your number can be renewed each month and you do not lose access to it. You can also use your account to forward the number to a different number. For instance, you may have purchased a Dublin landline number which you wish to forward to your UK mobile. This way, every time anyone rings the Dublin number, you can answer it on your UK mobile no matter where in the world you are!
