Located in New York, Manhattan is the city’s most heavily populated borough. It is also New York City’s administrative and economic hub. Referred to locally as the city, Manhattan overlaps with New York County.
Manhattan is bordered by the Harlem, Hudson, and East Rivers, a number of smaller adjoining islands, and a small mainland neighborhood known as Marble Hill. The city is often described as an entertainment, media, and cultural capital of the world. It is also known as one of the leading financial centers of the world. It is home to the two largest stock exchanges in the world; NASDAQ and the New York Stock Exchange.
Manhattan is home to several multinational media corporations, and the city has been and continues to be the setting for numerous movies, books, and TV shows. Real estate in the city has become some of the most expensive in the world.
If you’d like to expand your business services to Manhattan, but you can’t meet the cost of renting office space in the city, don’t be disheartened. You can do it all without even having to relocate your office thanks to Manhattan virtual phone numbers.
How Do Manhattan Virtual Phone Numbers Work?
A virtual phone number is also known as an access number or direct inward dialing (DID). It is a phone number that is not attached to a physical telephone line. Instead, Manhattan virtual phone numbers are programmed to redirect incoming calls to one or more preset phone numbers. You may choose the number yourself, and they can be your cell phone, office phone, landline or call center. One of the main benefits of subscribing to Manhattan virtual phone numbers is that you can use your existing phone without having to purchase any dedicated hardware or expensive software.
As well as Manhattan virtual phone numbers, you subscribe to virtual phone numbers throughout the U.S. and all over the world. For example, you can have an office based in London, but subscribe to Manhattan virtual phone numbers and virtual numbers in Germany, Dubai, and Japan.
Your virtual phone number(s) can be set to redirect calls to different numbers depending on the time of day, and the day of the week. You can even set your calls to be forwarded to several different numbers at the same time until one of them picks up. If you like, you can have all your calls routed to the office during weekdays, and to your cell phone on weekends.
