Virtual Numbers
What is a Virtual Phone Number?
Simply speaking, a "virtual" phone number is a number that does not have a phone line associated with it. When one of our "virtual" numbers is dialed, the call is forwarded to our VoIP service, which then re-routes the call accordingly.
All "Toll-Free" phone numbers (typically beginning with 1-800) are actually virtual phone numbers. When a 1-800 number is dialed,
the call is forwarded to the associated business's actual phone number. This number may also be a virtual number, hosted by a PBX.
What are the advantages of using Virtual Phone Numbers?
• Having a "local" number in an area gives the impression that your business has an office in their town.
• Virtual phone numbers allow customers to call you toll-free.
• Calls to your business's virtual numbers in any location are routed through our PBX like any other call.
