UK Virtual Phone Numbers

UK virtual phone numbers are easy to buy and start using. Businesses looking to establish a presence in the United Kingdom or support local customers there can get a UK virtual number with no commitment.

Before we take a look at why you should buy a UK phone number to scale your business, it’s important to understand how these numbers work.

UK virtual numbers work using VoIP technology. This means that you can receive calls on any device globally; you don't have to be in the United Kingdom. In addition, you can make outgoing calls from a mobile or computer application.

What is a UK Virtual Number?

UK phone numbers are cloud-based phone numbers that start with the country code +44, followed by an area code. UK numbers appear more familiar to British people, encouraging them to reach out to your business. British people are less likely to dial international numbers, but if they see a local UK number, they are more inclined to call your business and answer incoming calls.

Because the UK economy is largely built on the service industry, communication plays a vital role for any business hoping to offer its services there. One of the best ways to ignite communication is by providing a UK VoIP number for customers.

Virtual phone numbers can be geographic, non-geographic, mobile, or toll-free. They are easy to manage with minimum effort. When businesses choose Global Call Forwarding, they also gain advanced features that include customized voicemail greetings, local ringback tones, business hours, IVR, and more.
