Understanding Virtual Phone Numbers
A virtual phone number is a telephone number that isn't tied to a specific phone line or device. Calls can be routed to your mobile phone, landline, VoIP phone, or computer. They offer flexibility, privacy, and often come with advanced features like call forwarding, voicemail, and SMS capabilities.
