708 area code phone numbers
How do businesses use 708 phone numbers?
Using a local 708 area code number for a business can provide several benefits. Here are just a few of them:
A local presence
By having a local area code number such as 708 (for Cicero and nearby areas), a business can create a sense of local presence and establish a connection with the local community. This can help to build trust and credibility with potential customers who prefer to do business with a local company.
Cost-effective for callers
Having a 708 number can be cost-effective for a business as it eliminates the need for long-distance charges that may apply to calls made to a number other than with a 708 area code.
Great for marketing
A local area code number such as 708 can be used as a marketing tool to target customers in Cicero and other areas. It can also be used to create local advertising campaigns that highlight the business's ties to the community.
Improved customer service
Using a Cicero 708 phone number for customer service can provide customers with a sense of comfort as they know they are speaking to someone who understands the Cicero area and can provide relevant advice or support.
Easy to remember
Local area code numbers can be easier to remember for customers, especially if the business is associated with a specific geographic area. This can make it easier for customers to contact the business when they need to.
Overall, using a phone number with a 708 or Cicero area code can provide businesses with several advantages, from establishing a local presence to creating cost-effective marketing campaigns and improving customer service.
About the 708 area code
708 is an area code within Illinois (IL), with the nearest major city being Cicero. The 708 area is within the Central time zone.
Which areas does it serve?
Area code 708 is located in Illinois and covers Cicero, Orland Park, Berwyn, Oak Lawn, and Oak Park. It has a single overlay (464) that serves the same area.
How about its history?
708 was first put in service November 11, 1989. It was created from area code 312. 708 was split in 1996 creating the need to update some of the phone numbers to area code 847, and again in 1996 to create area code 630.
