Local phone numbers for area code 817: Great for sales and customer teams
Local phone numbers provide a way for businesses to establish a local presence in a given area without having to set up a physical office while instilling a sense of trust.
If your business has prospects in Texas, having an 817 area code phone number can be beneficial in many ways, which we'll go into more detail later. It's also easier for customers in the Fort Worth area to contact you. When you buy a local number from Dialpad, you get far more than just a VoIP phone number.
How it works
All of Dialpad’s paid plans come with a local number included, in this case a number with a local 817 area code. This is along with unified communications features like phone calls, video conferencing, SMS/MMS messaging and team messages, and more—all from one intuitive, easy-to-use desktop or mobile app:
The lowest plan starts at just $15/user/month, which also includes unlimited calling in the US and Canada!
Next, let’s look at why you might need an 817 area code.
Where is area code 817?
The 817 area code is located in Texas, which is in the Central time zone.
The 817 area code was created in 1952. It was split twice in 1997, updating some of the phone numbers to area codes 940 and 254. In 2000, area code 682 was created and is currently an overlay to 817.
All your essential communications tools, included with an 817 area code number
A truly unified platform
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 cloud contact center platform if you need it.
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 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!
Shield your personal number
With Dialpad, you can make work calls from your personal cell phone—while showing your 817 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!)
