What are Local Virtual Numbers?

Making a Local Virtual Number work for your small business.

Local Virtual Numbers

A Local Virtual number tells your customers your business is established and reputable. But there are additional reasons why big companies use them. Firstly, they allow your customers to dial you from anywhere in New Zealand for the cost of a local call. They are also easier for your customers to remember and make your life simpler by providing one phone number for your business.

With a Local Virtual number, you can conveniently answer calls from any phone line in New Zealand. You have the flexibility of being able to route your number to any landline or mobile number. Another unique thing is that the Local Virtual number is only for inbound calls, not for outbound calls. You’ll be charged depending on whether the call is connected from a landline or mobile.

What can a Local Virtual Number do?

  • Full caller ID Reports
  • Can forward to an existing mobile, landline or VoIP number
  • Allows you to deliver calls to your business
  • Configured with features
  • Provide data and insights on calls
  • Simple Routing Solutions
  • Can be accessed from Overseas

What a Local Virtual Number cannot do.

  • Can’t do restricted call access
  • Can‘t be used with state based routing
  • Can’t be used for outbound calls

We’ll find the perfect number for your business

Difference between a Local Virtual Number and a Local Phone Number

A local phone number is a traditional landline (with landline rentals) that is connected via hard wire, where you can do both inbound and outbound calls, unlike a Local Virtual number that allows you to have a local area code number but have all calls forwarded to your mobile or a landline in another state. Only inbound calls.

No Contracts. No Hidden fees. No regrets.
It’s your call.

Small businesses don’t need setbacks. That’s why we are 100% upfront with our costs.

A Local Virtual Number is a local phone number that is not tied to a physical address and accepts incoming calls only. This means that it allows you to advertise as though you have a local presence, whilst having your calls forwarded to an existing device such as your mobile or another landline. A local virtual number allows you to operate as a local business, without the costs associated with traditional PSTN line rental.

Local Virtual Number benefits that will change your business.

A 0800 number is more memorable, more professional, and more attractive for prospective customers.

Be on the go

Avoid that sinking feeling of a missed call with no message left, that next call could be your next big client.

Receive Calls
from Overseas

Appear local when you can be located anywhere in the world and by having an area code – international customers can still call it as well unlike other inbound numbers.

Keep your number even if  you relocate

Whether it’s the growth of your team or a change of location, you’ll always be reached on the same phone number.

No physical landline rental needed

Don’t spend landline rental (usually $35) on a physical phone line. Save money and don’t be tied down by a physical landline.

Perfect for businesses that:

  • Have an interstate presence
  • Local Storefront
  • Franchise Businesses
  • Remote Businesses – but want a main city number
  • Online Businesses
