Your phone area code says a lot about you. When a call comes in from a “310” number- you immediately know that you are being called from Los Angeles. All of a sudden, you are making associations between the caller and the “SoCal” lifestyle. In its own way, your phone’s area code works as a subtle marketing device. Those three little numbers are conveying important information to anyone you call; where you can be reached or which part of the country you are from and it even imparts hints about your social status and occupation.
Because of this, callers all across the country are paying an unbelievable price to obtain specific prestigious area codes. It’s their way of ensuring they are sending precisely the message they want to their social circle, business partners and potential clients. Some are even spending close to six figures to acquire a specific Los Angeles or San Francisco area code.
For businesses, having an area code specific to their city of operation is very important. As mentioned before, a Los Angeles “310” number is extremely valuable and rare. As the city expanded, it incorporated a new area code “424” to account for the growth. But 424 doesn’t sell “Los Angeles” in the same way 310 does. Businesses are therefore willing to pay high dollar to achieve exactly the number they want. The area codes first used in a city come at the highest value and these are known as “original area codes”.
With that being said, thanks to the growth of virtual phone systems, obtaining the exact phone area code you want is easier than ever. For example, a virtual phone number from KeKu allows you to choose from a variety of prestigious area codes, [keku.com] all for only $9.99 per month. A virtual number works the same way as your local number. With the KeKu app, you can manage as many numbers as you want alongside your primary number – all on your existing smartphone. That means you can simultaneously use phone numbers with various area codes for your business and personal needs. Now there’s no need to spend exorbitant amounts of money to market yourself the way you want.
