Virtual Business Numbers in Leicester

Give your business a professional phone number that follows you from the office to the van to the kitchen table, with each call routed to the right person.

A professional business number that goes wherever you work.

Plenty of small firms still give customers a personal mobile number, then struggle when they want a day off, take on staff or need to look more established. A virtual business number Leicester callers can reach you on solves that by separating the number from the handset, so calls can be answered wherever you happen to be.

Because the number isn’t tied to a single phone line, you decide where each call goes. Ring your mobile first, pass calls to a colleague or a landline, let missed callers leave voicemail that arrives by email, or offer a short menu so people reach the right department without being passed around.

Nexio Digital Solutions sets the whole thing up for you. We help you choose a local, national or freephone number, configure the routing and features you need, and test every call path before it goes live. Where possible we can also transfer your existing number, so customers keep dialling the one they know, and the service runs on 30-day rolling contracts.

Everything your business phone number needs to do

Pick the features that match how your team handles calls today. We configure each one for you and can add more later as your business changes.

Number Selection

Choose a local, national or freephone number depending on the impression you want to create and where your customers are, with guidance on which type suits your business.

Call Forwarding

Send incoming calls to mobiles, landlines or specific team members, so every caller reaches a real person who can help rather than an unanswered desk phone.

Voicemail to Email

Missed calls leave voicemails that arrive straight in your inbox, so you can listen between jobs or meetings and call back without dialling in to retrieve messages.

Call Menus

A short, simple menu lets callers choose sales, support or another department, directing them to the right person first time and making a small team sound organised.

Call Tracking

See which adverts, listings or campaigns are making the phone ring, so you can put more of your budget behind the marketing that produces genuine enquiries.

WhatsApp Business Integration

Link your virtual number to WhatsApp Business to handle enquiries, share updates and reply to customers professionally from wherever you happen to be working that day.

Choosing a business number Leicester customers will recognise

Leicester and the wider county are home to many businesses whose owners are rarely at a desk: tradespeople moving between jobs, consultants working from home, and retailers or restaurants juggling the shop floor with the phone. For them, a missed call is often a missed customer.

A virtual phone number for business Leicester callers can always reach gives you a fixed point of contact while you move around. If a familiar 0116 number matters to your customers, a local number is an option, alongside national and freephone numbers for firms selling further afield.

It also keeps your personal mobile private. You can put one business number on your van, website and invoices, then change where calls go at any time without reprinting a thing.

Local Presence

A local number helps build familiarity with customers in the areas you serve, which suits businesses whose work is mainly within Leicestershire.

Work From Anywhere

Take business calls from home, on the road or across several sites without customers ever needing to know where you are.

Keep Your Existing Number

In many cases we can transfer the number you already use, so customers, printed materials and online listings all stay correct.

30-Day Rolling Contracts

The service runs on 30-day rolling contracts, so you are not locked into a long agreement while you find the setup that suits you.

Make sure every customer call reaches the right person

Tell us how your business takes calls today and what isn’t working. We’ll recommend a number and routing setup, and come back to you within one working day.
