We offer all kinds of telecommunications solutions as well as NGNs to suit the business and domestic needs of residents in the UK. Also known as a virtual number, a non-geographic number is a phone number which is not limited to a single geographic location within a country. In other words, the number is associated with a country, say UK, but not specifically any area/city/county/town. Thus, when the customer calls up the NGN, the call would be transferred to the destination telephone set of the subscriber.
What is a 01462 number? Well, geographic numbers such as this are exactly what its name states and they are a complete opposite of NGNs. These are basically numbers which are associated with a specific geographic location in a country. In case of 01462, the linked location is Hitchin in Hertfordshire, a county in southern England. Hitchin is a small market town situated in the northern part of Hertfordshire.
