Anywhere Number
With Nextera service, you are no longer tied to your local area code (like traditional phone service). You can select a number from virtually anywhere in the United States, even if you don't live in that area. Choose a phone number wherever your friends, family or customers are located so they can call you for the price of a local call. For example you live in Minneapolis but your daughter lives in Dallas. You can choose a local number in Dallas for your daughter to dial locally and she doesn't have to pay long distance charges when she calls you. Or you are a business in Portland and have a major client in Cincinnati. Choose a number in Cincinnati and have a virtual presence so your client can call you with a local call.
Virtual Phone Numbers
Add up to 3 additional phone numbers that will ring into your primary Nextera phone number. Simply select a Virtual Phone Number from the many area codes available across the country. For example, you live in Rochester and have a Nextera number with a 507 area code. Your mother lives in California and her area code is 619. You can get a Virtual Phone Number with a 619 area code that rings into your 507 line. Now your mother can call you for the price of a local call. Or suppose you are a public relations company in Minnesota, while your 3 biggest customers are in Des Moines, New York and San Diego. All you pay is the small monthly fee of three different Virtual Phone Numbers within your customers' areas. You get a local presence and your customers get to call you without dialing long distance!
