What We Do Now

Select the phone name that is right for your business. Thousands to choose from and get connected in just a few hours.

A phone name is a memorable phone number dialled using the letters rather than the numbers on the phone. Phone names are not only memorable, they are also descriptive of your name, product or service offering, which makes them ideal brand names too.

Whether you are an established brand simply looking for the best marketing number for your business, or you are a start-up looking for the right brand name to get you up and running, there is a wide choice of names to choose from.

The name behind the numbers®

We all know how quick and easy it is to dial a number you remember.

A phone name allows you to do just that! Instead of searching for a number, your customer just remembers your phone name which could be your name, product or service, and dials it using the letters on the phone. Faster than the internet and does not take customers to your competitor listings.

0800 tells your customer you want their business because the call is free. The 0800 code has 90% recognition with consumers. You simply add a work that best describes your business offering which could be as generic as 0800 QUALITY or even a brand name such as 0800 NESTLE.

QUICK – SIMPLE – DIRECT

Whatever your business there is a phone name for you.

More to the point®

Fingertip provides national advertisers with a an area based call routing solution using post codes.

Businesses who currently handle calls centrally on behalf of their multi-site locations around the UK can now distribute the calls automatically to the local site.

So, by way of example, estate agents, car dealerships and many franchisors, can continue to advertise their direct response numbers nationally but without the reliance and costs of a call centre.

You determine which post codes serve which location and we build the solution based on this data. Real time call statistics allow you to analyse your responses both at a national and local level. The local sites can be billed directly by us which again removes the calls from central costs and admin.

Our Brand – Your Business TM

SumOne provides you with that opportunity by offering an exclusive license to use our brand, business templates and tools in your primary trading area.

As the brand grows geographically so too does awareness. Quality control is managed through job satisfaction tracking and use of the intellectual property surrounding the SumOne brand, all of which is handled by your license.

You service your customers as you always have done but trading as SumOne. Any calls/enquiries for your chosen post codes come direct to you and remain your customers.
