For example: let's say you work in New York City and you want to receive every call from everyone who calls 1-800-BLACKTOP from the 212 area code (212 is the main area code for Manhattan). Our switching network will automatically route every call made to 1-800-BLACKTOP from the 212 area code to your office -- and we do that for a low monthly fee. Just call 1-800-PAVEMENT (1-800-728-3636) or use our convenient online form to get started.
