How Does a Virtual Number Work?
Virtual numbers work using VoIP and cloud telephony technologies. When people call your virtual number, incoming calls can be forwarded to:
- An application on your agents’ mobile phones or computers.
- Multiple devices according to preset rules.
- Directly through the PSTN to mobile phones and landlines.
We use the highest-quality termination and routes to provide outstanding call quality and better value over time.
In addition, all corporate clients have access to:
- 24/7/365 Live Technical Support
- Dedicated Account Managers
- Customer Success Managers
- Knowledge Base Guides and Video Tutorials
Businesses can also use their virtual phone numbers to make outbound calls with the same number being shown as the caller ID:
- Increase connection rates.
- Provide the called party with a return number so they can reach you back.
- Make calls using the GCF softphone, a 3rd-party dialer, or through a PBX integration.
This high level of convenience, flexibility, and customer care make Global Call Forwarding the preferred virtual phone number provider for thousands of businesses globally.
