Looking to tap into the unlimited potential of American virtual phone numbers? If so, this article will cover what American virtual phone numbers are, how to get them from United World Telecom, and why America is the right place to expand your business presence.

What are American Virtual Phone Numbers?

American virtual phone numbers are simply phone numbers that are facilitated using the power of cloud computing to instantly put callers in contact with one another, even if they are located outside of the country. When an American virtual phone number is dialed, the call immediately gets routed to a phone number referred to as the “destination phone number.” This enables businesses located outside of the United States (and the NANP, or North American Numbering Plan) to contact and be contacted by callers without them being blocked by their service provider or charged long-distance fees to reach your business abroad.

American virtual phone numbers play a huge part in business expansion efforts. The problem with traditional business expansion efforts is that it is assumed that a business needs to have a brick and mortar presence that can directly interact with the public. This assumption is wrong, particularly as we move to a more digitized world that values efficiency and cost-effectiveness above one-on-one interactions. With American virtual phone numbers, you can open up the most efficient methods of communication while completing the work that branch offices and subsidiary organizations were previously responsible for. In fact, with the rise of companies like Uber and Amazon that deliver products and services right to your door, Americans prefer instantaneous, no-nonsense communication with businesses.

How Much Does an American Phone Number Cost?

The pricing for our virtual phone number plans is straightforward with a set amount of monthly minutes and an additional per-minute rate. There are no hidden fees or long-term contracts. Our American virtual phone numbers start at $12.95 per month.

American Phone Number Format

The American dialing code is (+1). American phone numbers include the dialing code, the area code or area code, and a 7-digit subscriber number: +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx.

American number format:+1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx.

Types of American Virtual Numbers

To further your business expansion efforts, you should know that you can get American virtual phone numbers in a variety of types. This can include toll free numbers, which don’t charge callers when they want to get in contact with your business. Then there are vanity phone numbers, which are virtual phone numbers that feature a visually-appealing set of numbers that can be used to build brand awareness and attract customers via marketing campaigns (i.e. billboards, online ads, etc.).

Now that you have been brought up to speed on the potential options of using American virtual phone numbers in your business, let’s take a look at how you can get American virtual phone numbers from one of the most trusted telecom service providers, United World Telecom.
