What is a Smart Number?
A smart number is a memorable phone number that enhances your business's brand identity and customer reach. These numbers, such as 1300-FLOWERS or 1800-PIZZA, combine letters and numbers to make your contact information stand out. Businesses often purchase these numbers from the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA Numbering System).
Once you've acquired a smart number through ACMA, the next step is to activate it with a reliable provider like Think Pickle.
