Located in the Pacific time zone, the 650 prefix was first put into service in 1997.
Dialpad’s not just about phone calls—the desktop and mobile app brings all your communication channels together into one app, from video conferencing to SMS and instant messaging, and even a contact center platform if you need it.
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. (Clients and prospects tend to love this because they don't have to download any software to join your online meeting.)
Never miss a call again. Dialpad’s call forwarding feature lets you choose a maximum of five external phone numbers so you can have calls automatically forwarded to your cell phone or landline, a teammate, or another department.
Smart call routing gets your callers to the right department or person—without you having to lift a finger. With Dialpad, you can easily set your own rules for specific people or departments, have out-of-hours calls sent to voicemail, and make changes to your IVR without any help from IT.
With Dialpad, you can make work calls from your personal cell phone—while showing your 650 area code business number (or any other business phone number you have) and protecting your privacy.
Dialpad’s built-in AI is built by our own team and integrated directly into the communications platform to transcribe your 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).
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!)
Try all these features out in Dialpad's unified communications 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 650 number too. Or, take a self-guided tour of Dialpad to play with the app on your own first!
Local numbers are a great way to make a small business seem bigger, or for larger enterprises to establish a local presence without having to rent or lease a physical location there. With a 650 area code number for San Mateo, for instance, you're covering one of the biggest tech startup areas—without having to rent or buy a physical office space.
And if you're running a marketing campaign that's trying to get potential customers to dial your business number, you can increase the chances of them calling if you make it a local number. Typically, people are far more likely to call since they won't have to worry about long-distance charges. And when you call them, they’ll be more inclined to pick up the phone if it's a local San Mateo, CA area code on the caller ID.
