Why your business needs a Texas area code
Local numbers are a great way to make a small business seem bigger, or for larger enterprises to establish a local presence without real estate. With a 972 area code number for Texas, you can set up a virtual branch out of Dallas, Lewisville, or Allen without having to rent or buy a physical office space.
Running a marketing campaign that encourages customers to dial your business number? Make it a local one—they’re 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 Dallas TX area code in the caller ID.
Dallas is the ninth largest city in the US, with an estimated population of 1.3 million—that’s a lot of potential customers. But there are other reasons why a Dallas Texas area code is an asset. The state has a strong economy with lower-than-average unemployment, and this area is home to many large businesses, including Texas Instruments, Game Stop, 7-Eleven, Inc., Neiman Marcus, and others.
