If you’re a tech-savvy business, you may have heard about how Canadian virtual phone numbers can radically change your business for the better, making it more efficient and cost-effective than traditional methods of tapping into Canadian markets.

Read on to learn more about what Canadian virtual phone numbers are, how they can impact your business, and how to get them for your business with United World Telecom.

What are Canadian Virtual Phone Numbers?

To understand what Canadian virtual phone numbers are, it’s important to understand how virtual phone numbers work. In its most basic sense, virtual phone numbers route calls from one phone number (known as the destination number) to another. Aided by developments in cloud computing and VoIP (short for Voice over Internet Protocol), virtual phone numbers can put callers in touch with each other through Internet-enabled devices.

This means that if you have a smartphone, laptop, PC, and any other device that has internet access, you can use virtual phone numbers in exactly the same way that traditional landlines function.

How Much Does a Canada Virtual Number Cost?

United World Telecom offers Canada virtual numbers starting at $7.95 per month.

We offer five different virtual phone number plans that include monthly minutes plus an additional per-minute rate.

Canadian Phone Number Format

The country code for Canada is (+1). The Canada phone number format includes the toll free or area code, and the 7-digit subscriber number:

The Canadian toll free number format is +1 (1800) xxx-xxxx.
The Canadian local number format is +1 (403) xxx-xxxx.
*Calgary, Alberta area code (403)

How Canadian Virtual Numbers Work

The best way to understand how Canadian virtual phone numbers work is through an example. Suppose that your Ireland-based business wants to expand to Canada. By using your domestic phone numbers, customers may be put off by the unfamiliarity associated with a foreign number, charges for long-distance fees to complete the calls, or even blockages by their service provider. With Canadian virtual phone numbers, you can broaden the access to your Ireland-based business by offering a phone number and other forms of virtual communication to process transactions.

Furthermore, Canadian virtual phone numbers are indistinguishable from “normal” phone numbers, meaning that they have the same country code (+1) and region codes that Canadians are familiar with. Considering that Canada is a vast country with ten provinces that encompass different cultures and ways of living, you can augment your business with Canadian virtual phone numbers that reflect area codes and region codes that residents of each province are familiar with.

Creating a traditional business presence in Canada takes a lot of effort, particularly if you’re looking to establish a brick & mortar presence in the country. With the rise of virtual offices and virtual locations, it is no longer necessary to put in the effort to lease a branch office in a country; instead, with a top-notch e-commerce enabled website, online collaboration platforms (like Slack, Trello, Teamwork, and more), and Canadian virtual phone numbers, you can create a business presence that responds to customers’ needs.

By now, you should be familiar with the vast potential that Canadian virtual phone numbers can bring to your business or personal life. Let’s take a look at how to get Canadian virtual phone numbers from United World Telecom.
