Stand out to your customers. Choose from thousands of local and toll-free area codes and create your own vanity numbers.
A vanity number is a memorable number that spells out a word, company name, or phrase, like 1-800-FLOWERS or 1-888-CONTACTS. Vanity numbers help your number stand out and create brand recognition with potential customers.
Vanity numbers and regular phone numbers work the same way. For example, 1-800-FLOWERS translates to 1-800-356-9377, and 1-800-CONTACTS translates to 1-800-266-82287. You’re not limited to just 10 digits, either. Calls are made after the caller enters the first 10 digits, regardless of whether they enter extra numbers.
A custom phone number with a local area code is a great option for businesses that cater to a specific local region, while a vanity number with a toll-free prefix is ideal for small businesses that want to expand into new markets.
With a toll-free vanity number, customers can call you without the risk of racking up long-distance charges. Toll-free numbers only charge you as the recipient of a call, helping to reduce friction and make it easy for customers to get in touch.

Phone menus, caller ID, and call routing in OpenPhone help ensure your customers’ calls go to the right team member the first time, reducing the extra workload caused by unnecessary handoffs and providing a better customer experience.
Reduce missed calls by simultaneously ringing all available teammates. If a live customer call needs to be passed to another colleague, use warm transfers to personally hand off customers and provide context.
Use call forwarding to redirect after-hours calls to on-call teammates or forward calls to an external answering service. For calls sent to voicemail, use voicemail transcription to easily review missed calls and prioritize a response.
