1. Customers search for your number
Your customers find your local number on your website or mobile app. The number is assigned based on their location. For physical advertisements such as billboards, you provision a local number from the Vonage API dashboard.
2. Customer call
Your customers call you by clicking on the number or “call us” button, or by dialling the local number presented — without costly operating charges to you.
3. You determine how to handle the inbound call
You can greet callers with a personalised IVR menu (based on caller ID or location) or you can route callers to an appropriate agent. You can even record calls for future analysis or training.
4. Gain actionable insights
You can gain actionable insights by generating reports about your call activity from our dashboard or your own application using our Management APIs.

Why choose Vonage APIs for 800 number replacement?
Cost savings
Smart local numbers dramatically reduce the cost to you of providing a local number to customers. Moreover, because we charge on a per-second basis in most countries, you pay only for the time you actually spend on a call. Compared to traditional plans that bill on a per-minute basis, you could save more than 50%.
Local presence
We offer numbers in more than 8,000 US rate centres, providing local number access to more than 93% of the US population. We also provide local numbers in more than 85 countries, so you can have a local presence wherever your customers are located.
Future ready
Our smart numbers are programmable, so you can add new capabilities easily with just a few lines of code — whenever you want to. You can start simply by replacing costly freephone numbers, then enhance your customers’ experience when you’re ready — without making costly new infrastructure investments.Related programmable solutions
