Everything You Need To Know About Virtual Landlines
Are you finding yourself being stretched thin in the workplace? Are you struggling to answer all of your calls whilst juggling the day-to-day running of your company? You may need a Virtual Landline.
The need for businesses to excel in an increasingly digital world has increased the need to explore how virtual landlines can transform your business.
What is a Virtual Landline?
A Virtual Landline is a cloud-based telephone number that allows you to receive your incoming calls on your existing landline number or mobile. These include your landline or mobile number.
You can choose between a UK Local (Geographical) or National Virtual Number.

Who Are Virtual Landlines For?
- Businesses – A company located in one location can have a phone number in totally different locations without paying thousands for a fixed-line. Virtual landlines are very popular among call centres that appear to be located in one location. However, they are in fact in one or more other locations, even in different time zones, delivering efficient 24/7 cover.
- Individuals – Migrants and travellers who appreciate that their friends and family back home can contact them using a local call without the worry about the extra cost.
- Specific businesses – Promote a business phone number and calls ring on your mobile phone. You will be warned you have a business call coming through and all calls are recorded.
- Marketing – Some companies use virtual landlines for various marketing campaigns or different media channels; this allows them to track which campaign or medium brings what kind of traffic.
- Virtual services – Various providers of virtual business services (virtual address, virtual receptionist, virtual office) will use a virtual landline to tie in their other virtual services together. This allows their customers to have a phone, address, and voice presence almost anywhere in the world.
Why Do You Need a Virtual Landline?
A virtual landline for small businesses is a highly effective tool that can transform the day-to-day running of your company. It is a cloud-based telephone system that takes advantage of the latest technology. This allows companies like us to provide an affordable option compared to a traditional office-based phone system. Owning a Virtual Number takes away the hassle of always needing to be in an office, manning a physical landline and investing in expensive hardware.
They are telephone numbers not directly associated with a telephone line. Virtual numbers can be assigned to any device, whether it be a hardware desk IP phone, a mobile phone app, or a desktop softphone app. Similarly, users can assign more than one telephone number to their phone line.
Your business can remove the hurdles that normally surround long distant phone calls. You can provide a local number to clients, with a local area code, to avoid any long-distance charges. Overall, virtual numbers help to create a simple and professional experience for clients.
