Regional trade agreements come into effect, IntBell virtual numbers help businesses explore new markets
In recent years, with the acceleration of the global economic integration process, the signing and entry into force of regional trade agreements (RTAs) have brought unprecedented market opportunities to enterprises. For example, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), and the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement (AfCFTA), etc., have all played an important role in reducing tariff barriers and promoting cross-border trade. However, when enterprises enter new markets, they often face the problem of poor communication with local customers and partners. Issues such as language barriers, high international communication costs, and insufficient local trust may all hinder the internationalization process of enterprises.
Against this backdrop, IntBell virtual numbers, with their global coverage and flexible and convenient communication solutions, have become a powerful assistant for enterprises to expand into new markets. By providing local virtual numbers within the agreement regions, IntBell helps enterprises establish contacts with local markets at a low cost and high efficiency, enabling them to quickly open up business situations.
The entry into force of regional trade agreements has liberalized the flow of goods, services, and capital among member states, allowing enterprises to enter new markets more conveniently. For instance, the RCEP covers 15 Asia-Pacific countries, accounting for 30% of the global GDP, providing enterprises with a huge consumer market; the AfCFTA integrates 54 African countries, forming one of the world’s largest free trade areas. However, for enterprises to truly gain a foothold in these markets, relying solely on policy dividends is not enough. They also need to address the following key issues:
As a leading global cloud communication service provider, IntBell offers enterprises virtual local numbers covering multiple countries and regions, supporting international two-way calls, SMS sending and receiving, and other functions, helping enterprises efficiently connect to the global market. Its core advantages include:
IntBell allows enterprises to apply for virtual local numbers in target markets without the need to set up a physical office. For example, a Chinese foreign trade company looking to expand into the Southeast Asian market can apply for local numbers in countries such as Singapore and Malaysia through IntBell, enabling local customers to make calls at local rates, greatly reducing communication costs, and enhancing brand credibility at the same time.
IntBell’s virtual numbers support incoming and outgoing calls from around the world. Enterprises can answer calls from all over the world through a unified management platform and maintain contact with overseas customers and suppliers at any time. Whether it is sales consultation, after-sales service, or business negotiations, efficient communication can be achieved.
In addition to voice calls, IntBell also supports international SMS sending and receiving functions. Enterprises can send marketing messages, order notifications, verification codes, etc., to potential customers through local numbers, increasing customer interaction rates. For example, cross-border e-commerce companies can use local numbers to send promotional SMS to improve conversion rates.
A technology company providing SaaS services hopes to enter the Brazilian market, but local customers have a low acceptance of international numbers. Through IntBell’s Brazilian virtual number, the company successfully established a localized customer service system and established stable contacts with local partners. Its business grew by 60% within just half a year.
When a Chinese cross-border e-commerce company entered the Singaporean market, it found that local consumers preferred to consult product information by phone. Due to the high cost of international long-distance calls, many potential customers gave up contacting. Later, the enterprise applied for a local virtual number in Singapore through IntBell and set up a multilingual customer service system. As a result, the number of customer consultations increased by 40%, and the order conversion rate significantly improved.
The entry into force of regional trade agreements has brought broad market space for enterprises. However, the key to success lies in the ability to quickly adapt to local needs and establish efficient communication channels. IntBell virtual numbers, with their flexibility, low cost, and global coverage, have become an ideal choice in the internationalization process of enterprises.
