He said that it was very important that he look like he had a local number established for each of the places he was applying, and without a home or a residence in the United States it was difficult to do. He had a US cell phone number with a California area code, but he was applying for jobs in Austin, Dallas, and San Diego. Also, the positions he applied for were seasonal and he needed to be able to get numbers in different cities often during the year. The client needed an overseas virtual PBX solution from AccessDirect.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #203961;\"><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/span> I told the customer that we had no problem providing him with numbers in most American and\/or Canadian cities and that we even had virtual local phone numbers available for the most remote towns in North America.\u00a0 He provided me with a list of cities, some specific to the Greater Los Angeles Area, and I was able to provide him a list for each city he requested.\u00a0 The customer was very happy with the variety of numbers we had to choose from and he decided on three numbers, which we simple forward to his cell phone so it seems as though he owns a cell phone number in whichever city he \u2018receives the call.\u2019\u00a0 Our \u2018<a title=\"Direct Executive\" href=\"https:\/\/www.messagingservice.com\/products\/direct-executive\/\">Direct Executive<\/a>\u2019 package offered everything and more that the customer wanted at a very reasonable price.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"gap\" style=\"line-height: 20px; height: 20px;\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<span style=\"color: #203961;\"><strong>Results:<\/strong><\/span> The customer called me with appreciation for our quick customer service and setup.
