In a major partnership with SmartNumbers, Regus is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Regus SmartNumbers, the very latest in advanced business telephony solutions for their thousands of corporate clients. Under the terms of this partnership, Regus clients can now receive calls to their Regus telephone number in any location, at home or abroad, wherever they are.
