Receive calls from customers all over China via 4001 business phone numbers
Are you doing business in China? Or are you planning to establish a business in the second largest economy in the world? But are you struggling to make your business available to every consumer in this huge country with a rapidly growing middle class? Many international businesses have faced this challenge before and there is finally a solution: China 4001 phone services. Starting with a 400 1 prefix, these numbers are accessible throughout China from landlines and mobile devices. With this new service, you can expand your international phone services to connect your global business with local people in China.
Until recently, telecom service providers could only offer one domestic business phone service for China, the so-called 10 800 toll-free number. However, using one 10 800 toll-free number in China actually means installing two different toll-free numbers; one for the north of China and one for the south. Also, a China 10 800 toll-free number cannot be called from mobile devices and is only available via direct-dial-enabled international landlines. In a country that, as of March 2012, has over a billion mobile subscribers, this can be seen as impractical to say the least.
For this reason, Chinese telecommunications providers have devised a new type of special telephone service with nationwide coverage, the China 4001 shared cost telephone number. This number, in the format 400-1-ABCDEF, is accessible from landlines and mobile devices, including even those without international direct dialing enabled. The service is also available to subscribers of foreign operators while roaming in China. Therefore, the new China 4001 cost-sharing service supports well companies that want to be available to all their (potential) customers or employees throughout China.
Since China’s 4001 numbers are often presented as an alternative to 10 800 toll-free numbers, some confusion has arisen among subscribers and end users as to the rates that apply to calling these numbers. Unlike the 10,800 number, China’s 4001 numbers are not free; callers will be charged the local calling rate. Still, since these 4001 numbers are accessible from both landlines and mobile devices and can be called from all over China, they present a very viable alternative to 10,800 numbers.
Considering the fact that China is expected to be the world’s leading economy in 2017 and will have more than 200 million middle-class households in 2020, installing a 4001 phone number in China can be seen as an investment in the future. very profitable.
