Get a North Dakota NumberNorth Dakota at a Glance
North Dakota is a small-business state at heart. The state has roughly 17,845 business establishments, and nearly 10,000 of them have four or fewer employees[1]. That means when someone calls your shop, they usually expect to hear a real person, not a call tree that dead-ends in voicemail.
The economy leans hard on energy. Oil and natural gas make up more than 30% of the state's economy and pay over half of all state taxes[2]. If you serve rig crews, trucking outfits, or the wave of contractors that follows them, callers are often out in the field with spotty signal, so voicemail-to-email and SMS matter more than a pretty office setup.
North Dakota ranked No. 29 on CNBC's Top States for Business in 2026, held back partly by a tight labor market where 31% of small business owners recently reported job openings they could not fill[3]. A 701 number from Tonet gives a solo owner or a two-person team the same call handling as a bigger competitor, so nobody's chasing missed leads at the end of the day.
