What are American Virtual Phone Numbers

The vast country of the US has over 290 area codes for telephone numbers. Moreover, each state has multiple area codes. For instance, 213 is the area code for Downtown LA while 415 is for San Francisco, even though both are part of California. American virtual phone numbers are basically phone numbers with a particular area code. These numbers are an effective way to market a business in any American region or city, without actually opening an office there.

The telephone system in the US follows the North America Numbering Plan, and when you subscribe for American virtual phone numbers, you must specify the region for which you want the virtual phone number. The number you get has the area code of your selected region, which acts as a local number for callers in that state or city. All calls are forwarded to your company phones or call centers anywhere in the world and callers are charged are at local rates.

Why use American Virtual Phone Numbers

It isn’t without reason that call forwarding is such a popular service among small businesses these days. They help a business go beyond physical boundaries and get closer to customers and prospects. American virtual phone numbers function like local numbers for US residents in that area, but the calls can be forwarded to any part of the world.

These low-cost calls encourage existing and potential clients and customers to contact the company, whether it’s for providing feedback or to complain about an issue. This local channel of communication builds a trustworthy image of the company and drives more leads. The best thing about American virtual phone numbers is that there’s no need at all for a physical office!

For a business based outside of the US, maintaining offices and call centers in that country is expensive and out of reach. With American virtual phone numbers, this expensive investment can be avoided while still enjoying the benefits of a local presence.

These numbers can be used within the area or state they have been purchased for and can be called from any landline, mobile, or even a public phone. If you have customers in the US or plan to expand your business, it is immensely helpful to have American virtual phone numbers. In fact, your customers don’t even have to know that you are based somewhere else while conveniently communicating with you at any hour.

How the System Works

Digital call forwarding does not require any complicated hardware setup. The whole process is online and easy enough to understand and enjoy. All incoming calls to your American virtual phone numbers can be forwarded to any mobile or landline number in your headquarters, office, or call center anywhere in the world. However, keep in mind that one subscription allows calls to be forwarded to only one country.

Digital call forwarding works with the help of a virtual PBX system and VoIP telephony. Calls made to American virtual phone numbers are easily transferred to your office, at any time. Along with basic call forwarding, there are additional benefits such as choosing more than one number to forward calls to, scheduling inbound calls for later, and the use of the recording feature to record calls.

This entire process, including subscription, setup, and configuration, is virtual, eliminating extra overhead costs. The easy setup process can get your American virtual phone numbers up and running within minutes. This means you can expand your reach to help you make more money, spread your brand, hire more people, and increase the number of customers you have. There is no downside here. Digital call forwarding gives small businesses the opportunity to scale up quickly. The world has become smaller, and it is because of innovative technologies such as this.
