United States Virtual Phone Numbers

What are United States Virtual Phone Numbers?

To understand what United States virtual phone numbers are, it’s important to first understand what virtual phone numbers are and how they generally work.

Virtual phone numbers are a form of modern telecom communication that uses the Internet — including the cloud and VoIP — to put callers in touch with one another. Because the Internet is the primary technology (versus traditional wiring and other methods), calls can be put through instantaneously and regardless of where either party is located. United States virtual phone numbers work the same way, allowing you to operate a business outside of the U.S. to get in touch with U.S. citizens and businesses. Or, if you live in another region of the United States, you can subscribe to a United States virtual phone number in your desired target market.

Virtual phone numbers have a number of benefits that are included. Virtual phone numbers can enable your business to get in touch with individuals in other countries, so if you want to gain the authenticity of an American business, United States virtual phone numbers are the solution.

There is also a wide variety of types of United States virtual phone numbers to choose from. For instance, you may want to extend your toll free service with United States toll free numbers. Or, your organization’s marketing efforts can gain a better brand presence with a United States vanity phone number. You can also target specific cities and regions of the United States with virtual phone numbers — even having the ability to choose different prefixes based on metropolitan areas (i.e. Los Angeles, New York).

And last but not least, the ease of business expansion with United States virtual phone numbers allows your international business to circumvent the obstacles of setting up a physical presence within the U.S. While the United States is known to be relatively easy to do business with, there still is the question of setting up an office or branch office, filing the required documents, hiring staff, paying the requisite licensing fees — and this is even before generating a single profit.
