BroadVoice Increases Local Phone Number Availability to 96% of the United States

Consumers can now choose a local number in 48 states, Washington, D.C., and select foreign countries.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) August 24, 2006 -- BroadVoice, the leading provider of high quality, feature-rich broadband phone services to consumers and businesses, announced that it is now offering local phone numbers in 96% of the United States. BroadVoice Internet phone service allows consumers and business to save 70% or more on phone service while enjoying innovative features not available with traditional phone lines.

"With over 4,300 local rate centers in 48 states and Washington D.C., as well in as the United Kingdom, consumers can -- in a matter of seconds -- use BroadVoice’s web site to search for, select, and begin enjoying a new phone number with BroadVoice’s award-winning service," said Les Berry, president of BroadVoice. “By combining a larger local number inventory with unlimited calling to 35 countries, the ability to use any compatible VoIP device, and 25 included calling features, as such as caller ID with name, voicemail, and three-way calling, BroadVoice offers unprecedented choice and value.”

Small businesses also benefit from the expanded choice in phone numbers. Each BroadVoice account can have up to two additional numbers that ring the same BroadVoice line, including toll free numbers. Many businesses enjoy the ability to have multiple "local" offices around the state, the country, or the world as a low-cost way of expanding their reach and growing their business.

"Whenever we roll out new phone numbers we see an increase in subscribers," said Berry, "proving our philosophy that providing customers with the widest possible choice is good for business -- theirs and ours."
