Mobile messaging service provider TynTec (www.tyntec.com) today announces the launch of combined SMS and voice long numbers for business.  The new numbers will give consumers the ability to contact companies and services using either voice or text on a single number – greatly simplifying the contact process and improving the service businesses can offer. 
The new technology means that companies will now be able to promote long number (e.g. 7 digit) contact details to consumers or staff as a single point of contact for voice and SMS, making it an effective vehicle for any enterprise application, marketing campaign or entertainment service.  By converging voice and text under a single number, the new service will simplify incoming voice and SMS traffic, as well as facilitating contact with consumers.

No word on the cost though…

    They are normal common or garden mobile numbers,their aint nothing special about the numbering range.Calls to them are charged accordingly.
    07900 120 120 is a Vodafone number.

    Just a quickie moneysavin, I made that number up as an example — I’ve no idea what their number range is.

    Okay their number range will almost certainly belong to Manx Telecom since Tyntec have various activities based out of Manx. These numbers look and feel and are to all intents and purposes UK mobile numbers.

    This is relatively special since it’s one of the first times that business’ can use a ‘virtual number’ to receive SMS and Voice.

    Think you’ve missed the point Moneysavin’

    I’d hazard a guess it’s 07624. First person who can post the price to call that from all five UK networks wins a packet of sweets.. and I’ll give you a clue – not every network studied the same geography book at school.

    Thanks.Yes your right i missed the point.

    Might even be an 07924 number (also allocated to Manx
    Telecom).
