There is also a difference in how local numbers can be obtained in different countries. In some countries you can get a general country code and in some you can even get a local number for the particular city/area in which you operate.
You may get a better price if you buy more numbers. Individual numbers usually have a certain price and a number series has a certain price. A series will usually be cheaper per number than if you buy numbers one by one.
A person is more likely to answer if the calling number is national, we are often more suspicious when foreign numbers call. Therefore, calling countries with numbers that have their national prefix may be useful. You can choose which number you want to show when dialing from the switch, this will be selected in the app or in your softphone.
You can tag a number to a specific person or group depending on the country’s prefix. This way, you can make sure that phone numbers coming from a specific country cis directed to a person or group that, for example, is included in specific cases or knows the language.
