How To Get a Business Phone Number
You could carry around a second cell phone (oof) or get a dual-SIM Android phone. But many business owners are going with a low-maintenance, high-tech solution: the VoIP phone number.
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) numbers are internet-powered phone numbers that work on your existing phone, laptop, desktop or tablet. In addition to the ordinary phone functions you’d expect—calling, texting, and voicemail—VoIP phone lines provide added perks, like visual voicemail, auto-attendant, downloadable messages and call forwarding.
We’re a certified VoIP provider and can set you up with a professional phone number in less than 5 minutes. Here’s how to get started.
You can add a 60-day Phone Service trial to any other Northwest offering (including registered agent service and business formation service) at checkout. Either way, your price is just $9 per month—and there’s no need to sign a contract.
Hire us
Upon signing up you’ll receive instant access to your desktop app, where you’ll be prompted to select an area code (from any state) and choose your new local number. Then you’ll download Corporate Phone®, our free mobile app, available for iOS and Android.
Once you’ve set up the basics, you can click on the Settings tab of your desktop app and start customizing. Set up a professional voicemail greeting, configure your call forwarding, choose a custom ringtone and more.
