5 Reasons to Get a Virtual Mobile Number

Mobile numbers have become an essential communication tool for both businesses and individuals, and that’s not likely to change anytime soon. However, VoIP technology takes things a step further, offering significantly greater flexibility and mobility, along with powerful features that traditional mobile numbers simply can't match.

In this article, we’ll explore the key reasons and benefits of using virtual mobile phone numbers.

1. Flexibility and Convenience

Virtual mobile numbers can be used on any device, including smartphones, tablets, and computers. They work through VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology, meaning you can make and receive calls and SMS messages from anywhere with an internet connection. This flexibility is perfect for remote workers, travelers, digital nomads, students, and businesses.

For example, if you get a USA virtual mobile number and work remotely, you can use the same number from any internet-connected PC or smartphone, no matter where you are. A single USA mobile number can also be used by multiple users to make and receive calls and SMS, helping businesses cut costs.

You can even receive SMS via our Teamsale CRM, messaging apps like Slack, Facebook, and Telegram, or through platforms such as Pipedrive, HubSpot, Freshdesk, Odoo, and Zapier.

2. Privacy Protection

If you value your privacy, a virtual mobile number is a great solution. Instead of sharing your personal or business number online or with strangers, you can use a virtual number to protect your privacy.

This is especially useful for online transactions, 2FA authentications and different apps.

Let’s say you activate a UK virtual mobile number - you can use it across various online services without compromising your privacy. The best part is that you can access your UK mobile number from any internet connected device.

3. Business Efficiency and Professionalism

In most of the cases, VoIP providers offer additional tools such as virtual PBX (Business Phone System) to help increase the professional image of the business. At Zadarma, this feature is available free of charge.

Furthermore, a virtual mobile number allows businesses to separate personal and professional calls without needing multiple physical phones. A single virtual number can be used on multiple devices by different users via the iOS, Android or Windows app, making communication more efficient. You can also link all your online accounts to one number, simplifying management.

If your device is lost, broken, or stolen, you won’t lose access to your number - you can simply log in from another device. This ensures your number always stays with you.

Additionally, if an employee managing the number leaves the company, you can easily maintain security by changing the app password and accessing it from another device.

4. Cost Savings

In addition to saving on hardware and multiple SIM cards for your employees, Zadarma also helps you reduce call costs. Traditional telephony operators often have high international calling rates, and if you're traveling abroad, roaming charges can also add up.

With Zadarma, calling rates remain the same no matter where you are - your physical location does not affect the cost. Plus, SMS reception is always free. Stay in control of your expenses and avoid unexpected charges on your bill.

5. Global Reach and Local Presence

With a virtual mobile number, you can establish a presence in multiple countries without needing a physical SIM card. This is particularly beneficial for businesses looking to expand globally. You can have a local phone number in different regions, making it easier for customers to contact you without paying high international fees. Build trust and reach local customers easily with a virtual mobile phone number.
