01What it is

What is a virtual phone number?

A virtual phone number is a real, callable phone number that lives in the cloud instead of being tied to one SIM card, one desk phone or one fixed address. Calls and texts to it travel over the internet and land wherever you choose — a mobile, a softphone, an office PBX, an IVR menu or a full contact centre — in any country.

That decoupling is the whole point. Your number stops being a piece of copper in one building and becomes software you can point anywhere, change in seconds, and scale from one line to thousands without buying a single phone.

1

Local, toll-free or mobile-style — in any country you serve.

2

Set the routing

Tell us where calls should ring — mobile, app, SIP, PBX, softphone or IVR.

3

Calls reach you instantly

Outbound shows your local caller ID, and you can re-point routing whenever you like.

02Why get one

Why businesses use virtual phone numbers

A virtual number gives you a trusted local identity in markets where an unfamiliar foreign number gets screened or ignored — without the cost, delay and commitment of opening a real office.

Look local, anywhere

A local area code or national number gets answered where a foreign +1 or +44 gets sent to voicemail.

One number, every device

Calls follow your team across cities, countries and devices, and re-route in seconds when people move.

Invite inbound with toll-free

Freephone numbers are free for your customers to call and measurably lift contact rates.

Skip the hardware

No PBX, no handsets, no installation, no site visits — it's all software.

Scale on demand

Add or remove numbers and agents instantly; pay for what you use instead of provisioning copper.

Keep personal numbers private

Put a clean, branded business line between your team and their own mobiles.

FAQ

Virtual phone numbers — frequently asked questions.

What is a virtual phone number?expand_more

It's a real, callable number hosted in the cloud rather than tied to a SIM or a fixed line. Calls and texts route over the internet to any device or system you choose, in any country.

How is it different from a normal phone number?expand_more

To callers it's identical — a normal local number. The difference is behind the scenes: it isn't bound to one device or address, so you can answer it anywhere and re-route it in seconds.

Which countries can I get a number in?expand_more

More than 190, including local, toll-free and mobile options. Browse by country above, or ask us if you don't see the market you need.

Can I get a number for a country I'm not based in?expand_more

Yes — that's the most common use. You verify your business online and we provision the number without you being in that country; some markets add a quick KYC step.

Can I choose a specific city or area code?expand_more

Yes, where the country uses geographic codes — pick the city you want to appear local to. Some countries use nationwide or overlay numbering instead, and we'll show what's available.

Do you offer toll-free numbers?expand_more

Yes — freephone numbers (1-800, 0800, 800 and local equivalents) that are free for your customers to call.

Can virtual numbers send and receive SMS?expand_more

On supported numbers, yes. Note that some banks and apps block VoIP numbers for one-time-password (OTP) verification, so confirm with us if that's your use case.

How much does a virtual phone number cost?expand_more

It depends on the country, number type and your plan — see our pricing page for current rates. There's no hardware to buy and no long contract.

How fast can I go live?expand_more

Usually within minutes once any required verification clears — choose a number, set where calls go, and you're live.

Where can my calls go?expand_more

Anywhere you point them: a mobile, an existing PBX, a SIP trunk, a softphone, a browser (WebRTC) or an IVR menu — and you can change it anytime.

Will my outbound calls show the local number?expand_more

Yes, where the route permits your chosen local number is presented as your caller ID on outbound calls.

Is it suitable for a contact centre?expand_more

Yes — skills-based routing, IVR, recording, analytics and APIs make it ready for distributed teams and high call volumes across multiple countries.
