Does your business need an Alabama 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 having to rent or lease a physical location there.

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.
