All your essential communications features, included with every Dialpad local business number
A truly unified platform
Dialpad gives you all the communications channels you need in one robust app, including phone calls, video conferencing, SMS/MMS and instant messaging, and even contact center AI features if you need them.
Plays nice with any device
Use Dialpad’s desktop and mobile app across iOS, Android, PC, and Mac—or just use your web browser to join a call or video meeting, no downloads needed.
Easy call forwarding
Never miss a call again. Dialpad’s call forwarding feature lets you choose up to five external numbers, so you can have calls automatically forwarded to your cell phone or landline, a colleague, or another department.
Flexible call routing
Smart call routing gets your callers to the right department or person—without you having to lift a finger. With Dialpad, you can easily route calls to agents, voicemail, or a department—and also make changes to your IVR, right from your online dashboard.
Shield your personal number
With Dialpad, you can make work calls from your personal cell phone—while showing your 279 area code work number and protecting your privacy.
Real-time call transcription
Dialpad’s built-in AI is built by our own team and integrated directly into the communications platform to transcribe phone calls and video meetings—in real-time. This way, you don't have to be distracted with note-taking and can give them your full attention (and Dialpad even detects highlights and action items).
Voicemail transcriptions
When you're in back-to-back meetings all day, you can't always listen to every voicemail. Dialpad's visual voicemail feature transcribes your voicemails into text, so you can quickly read them when it isn't convenient to listen to them. (It even emails the audio and text versions to you!)
Get more than a 279 area code number
Try all these features out in Dialpad's AI-powered collaboration platform! Sign up for a 14-day free trial to take it for a test drive. It takes just a few minutes, and you'll be set up with a 279 number too. Or, take a self-guided interactive tour of Dialpad to play with the app on your own first!
Why your business needs a Sacramento area code
If you want to target Sacramento and the areas surrounding it, it makes sense to get a local number for that area code—even if your business isn’t located there.
Whether they’re in East Los Sacramento or South Gate, LA-adjacent California-based customers can dial you without worrying about long-distance charges. Plus, customers and prospects are more likely to answer local calls if you're using a local-looking phone number with a recognizable Sacramento area code.
Sacramento is the sixth biggest city in California, and hosts businesses like Blue Diamond Growers, Teichert, and The McClatchy Company. It's also a large cultural center, with the Sacramento Ballet, Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra and the Sacramento Opera. Whether you're running a B2C or B2B company, there's a pretty large audience of potential customers here that you can reach, if your business is equipped with phone numbers with the local 279 area code.
