Need a Local Phone Number? Get One From AccessDirect
What Is a Local Phone Number?
A local phone number has an area code tied to a specific city, region, or state. This makes it recognizable and relevant to the local community.
Instead of a 1-800 number (which is typically used by large corporations) a local number shares the area code with a specific city or region. For example, an Atlanta local number would likely have area code 404.
Many customers prefer businesses with local roots. But in a hybrid working world, location is sometimes flexible for modern businesses. Having a local number helps establish a connection within any area, making it easy for customers to trust you and reach your business.
With AccessDirect, you get more than just a local number — you get a full suite of features to manage your calls with ease. Our team provides you with:
- Free professionally recorded greetings
- Voicemail transcription
- Customizable call routing
- Much more
We’ll tailor everything to fit your business needs, so you can handle calls with confidence every time.

4 Benefits of a Local Phone Number
Why do you need a phone number with a local area code? With AccessDirect, your local phone number is more than just a number — it’s a tool to build trust, grow your business, and streamline work.

Want to establish a presence in a new city while operating from elsewhere? A local phone number gives you the flexibility to grow your business without changing your physical location.
Support Business Growth
Manage your growth — from solopreneur to thriving small business. Multiple local numbers and advanced call management features can all scale with your operation.
Work-Life Balance
A local business number adds another layer of privacy, allowing you to decide when and how to take calls. Keep your personal number safe while staying connected to your customers with features like call scheduling, routing, and screening.
