WHY 445 · FOUR REASONS

Why choose a 445 number?

01

Access Comcast's Philadelphia procurement

Comcast is headquartered in Philadelphia with a massive procurement operation for media technology, cable infrastructure, and professional services. A 445 number provides identical recognition to 215 for technology vendors engaging Comcast's Centre City purchasing team.

02

Serve Penn Medicine's clinical research market

Penn Medicine's Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania is a top-5 ranked academic medical centre. Healthcare technology, clinical research, and professional services vendors build trust with a 445 number when engaging Penn Medicine's Philadelphia procurement network.

03

Connect with CHOP's research community

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is ranked the top children's hospital in America with a $1B+ annual research budget. Medical device, clinical supply, and research services vendors use a 445 number to reach CHOP's West Philadelphia procurement community.

04

Philadelphia overlay since 2012

445 was introduced in 2012 as a geographic overlay for 215, covering all of Philadelphia and surrounding counties with identical recognition — used by the same technology, healthcare, financial services, and professional services vendors as 215.

14 FEATURES · ZERO ADD-ONS

Everything included on every 445 number.

Every 445 number delivers fourteen professional tools for Philadelphia's technology-and-healthcare economy — compliance call recording for Comcast's corporate vendor requirements, IVR for Penn Medicine's clinical supplier community, and analytics for CHOP's West Philadelphia research corridor and the Philadelphia metro's technology, healthcare, and financial services overlay market.
