Bring in business from the ever-growing island of Mauritius. Global Call Forwarding is happy to offer Mauritius toll free numbers for companies and enterprises looking to do business in this part of the world.

Increase Your Global Reach With a Mauritius Toll Free Number

With globalization and technological advancements, it is easier than ever to connect with people and companies across the world. Digital communications have brought (and will continue to bring) the world closer than ever. And so, if you are not taking advantage of the opportunities available to expand your business globally, you are missing out. Use this opportunity to connect with businesses and clients in the East African country of Mauritius.

How Mauritius Toll Free Numbers Work

Along with many international toll free numbers, Global Call Forwarding announces toll free numbers for new markets. One of these markets is the vibrant economy of Mauritius. Toll free numbers are virtual numbers that charge the receiver instead of the caller, making it free for contacts and customers to reach your business. Instead of exorbitant long-distance calling fees, locals will have to pay their local calling charges only. This automatically makes you more accessible to the people. And this is because people are more comfortable with a local number that won’t charge them extra, rather than an unknown number.

As a business owner, you have to do everything in your power to demonstrate that your business is professional and reliable. And so, a number that is easy for customers to use and dial is a step in the right direction. Mauritius toll free numbers, therefore, give businesses an opportunity to work with new markets and demographics as well as improve caller experience.

Features That Enhance Communication

Besides giving your contacts a toll free way to connect with you, these numbers also come with additional features that can improve both internal and external communications. Because Global Call Forwarding’s toll free numbers are virtual numbers, you can do much more with your business number. Some of the features include:

• Dedicated Account Managers: Oversee the smooth functioning of the service.
• Local Ringback Tones: This refers to the sound heard by callers when the destination (local) phone is ringing.
• Call Transfer: Transfer calls with a pre-programmed sequence that you arrange according to your needs.
• Failover Forwarding: This is an automated system that connects incoming calls to other numbers in line in case the first line is occupied.
• Advanced Interactive Voice Response (IVR): This is an automated greeting system that receives calls and directs callers to the department they need through a menu.
• Time of Day Routing: This feature directs calls to an assigned number in a different office during certain hours of the day.

These features make your business communication system organized and efficient while also ensuring no calls go unanswered. Use these features to present your company as one that cares about how it interacts with its customers.
