What are Hosted Numbers?

Hosted phone numbers are business numbers hosted in the cloud — also referred to as number hosting, cloud-based numbers, or virtual phone numbers. Therefore, these numbers are not limited to specific geographical boundaries as they transmit voice calls over the internet. Enter new markets virtually and scale your business at your own pace with number hosting.

How Does Number Hosting Work?

You purchase hosted phone numbers (local, toll-free, or international business numbers) from a cloud phone service provider like Global Call Forwarding. Then, forward incoming calls to a location or line of your choosing. All managed through our online control panel.

We understand every business has different needs. So, we offer different phone number plans and flexible payment options to help our customers find the right service at the right price.

Types of Hosted Numbers

call management

In order to bring in the right solution for your business communication needs, you first need to understand the different types of hosted phone numbers available:

Toll-free numbers: 1800 or 800 numbers that are free to call from within the country. Customers recognize toll-free number codes and know those calls don’t incur charges. You can also get international toll-free numbers (ITFN) for different countries across the globe to improve global connectivity.

Local phone numbers: These numbers are local to certain cities, states, and regions, and have specific area codes assigned to them. Calls from one area code to another are charged local calling rates.

Universal toll-free numbers: A single toll-free number for countries participating in the UIFN program. Customers from these countries can call this number for free.

Vanity numbers: Numbers with letters or patterns inserted to make them memorable and unique. Use these numbers to improve brand awareness and visibility. Think, 1-800-FLOWERS.
