Global Call Forwarding Partners with Allergan to Improve Call Center Support in Asia

Global Call Forwarding, a leading U.S. cloud communications provider, has announced its new partnership with Allergan to improve call center support in Asia using local DID phone numbers.

DELRAY BEACH, FL, September 2021

Allergan is a global pharmaceutical leader with commercial operations in more than 100 countries. It has a portfolio of leading brands that spans four key therapeutic areas: medical aesthetics, eye care, central nervous system, and gastroenterology.

Millions of people around the world rely on Allergan’s best-in-class products every day. Therefore, their ability to provide localized telephone support across international markets is crucial. However, Allergan’s telephone support operations are managed from centralized regional contact centers, which restricts their ability to provide local telephone support to their customers.

Their immediate requirement was to obtain local phone numbers in key markets, which forward the inbound calls to one of Allergan’s regional contact centers. Multinational companies in today’s hyper-connected digital economy are increasingly utilizing cloud contact center solutions like direct inward dial (DID) numbers to implement this solution.

According to the VP of Marketing and Sales at Global Call Forwarding, Bulent Erkaya, “Using direct inward dial numbers can be the most effective way to offer a local point of telephone contact in any foreign market. By integrating this solution, Allergan was able to significantly expand their global support coverage without seeing a drastic increase in operating costs. They activated DID numbers in many key markets, delivering much-needed telephone support and managing their operations from centralized contact centers.”

Companies with global sales and support operations are increasingly activating local phone numbers in countries where they need to offer telesupport. This makes it easier for international-based customers to contact these companies without paying for long-distance calls or dialing unfamiliar phone numbers.

Having a regional office in APAC for sales, support, and service delivery made Global Call Forwarding the ideal candidate for this partnership with Allergan.

In addition, Global Call Forwarding has the largest selection of local DID phone numbers in Asia. Their ability to provide phone numbers in unique, hard-to-get origination countries was also a major deciding factor.

By partnering with Global Call Forwarding, Allergan will increase worldwide access to customer support and improve call center reactivity while achieving significant cost savings.

This partnership will also strengthen the leading market position Global Call Forwarding holds, as it adds another major multinational corporation in the pharmaceutical sector to its clientele.

Global Call Forwarding Announces New SMS to Email and Outbound Calling Features for Virtual Phone Numbers

Offering businesses greater versatility in their communications, the new SMS to email and outbound calling features from Global Call Forwarding enable businesses to expand upon the ways customers are able to reach a company using virtual phone numbers.

DELRAY BEACH, FL, August 06, 2018

Global Call Forwarding, an internationally-renowned telecommunications company, has just announced the launch of several new services including SMS and outbound calling that improves how customers can be reached by businesses and vice versa.

A vast majority of businesses aim to offer the most convenient methods of communication to reach their customers. Most customers are familiar with a variety of methods such as email and phone calls. However, many people prefer not to make and receive phone calls, so having an option like SMS forwarding to email enables greater communication and increases access to information. The SMS to Email feature allows virtual phone numbers to receive inbound SMS and is available as an international service for a select number of countries, including Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Israel, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, the UK, the US, and Vietnam.

The Outbound Calling feature, however, gives call centers and businesses the ability to make outbound calls from their virtual numbers. It is especially beneficial for call centers, and it enables calls to be made with the exact number showing up on the receiver’s caller ID. The outbound caller ID can be set to any number registered on an account. This is of immense significance because, in terms of international outbound calling, the services offered by Global Call Forwarding are much more affordable than others in the market.

As stated by Thierry Genoyer, CEO of Global Call Forwarding, “The addition of these new services will enable customers to have greater accessibility to companies. Today’s businesses constantly strive to implement diverse methods of communication to remain in contact with potential customers and it is our mission to build these new cutting edge technologies.”

Features such as SMS Forwarding to Email and Outbound Calling enhance the overall image and success of a company, which can help drive sales and aid communications with customers more effectively. For companies with active sales departments dedicated to aggressively reaching their target markets, these features add excellent value to their services, along with creating additional communication channels between a company and its customers.

“At Global Call Forwarding, it is our aim to consistently enhance our offerings, and we are pleased to provide a wide array of telecom services to our customers. We understand that in today’s competitive market it is essential to offer value as much as quality.”

Global Call Forwarding is a leading international provider of telecom and technology-based solutions to enable dynamic communications for businesses and individuals. Our services include international toll-free phone numbers, virtual phone numbers, international call forwarding, toll-free forwarding, vanity numbers, and international toll-free numbers, along with a range of additional features such as outbound calling and SMS forwarding.
