Why your business needs a Austin 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 512 area code number for Austin, you can set up a virtual branch out of Bastrop, Round Rock, or Cedar Park 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 Austin TX area code in the caller ID.

Austin is the tenth largest city in the US, with an estimated population of 1 million—that’s a lot of potential customers. But there are other reasons why a Austin Texas area code is an asset. The city was named #1 place to start a business by Inc. in 2020, it has a favorable business tax structure, and there are three Fortune 500 companies (Dell, Oracle, and Tesla) based in the area.
