What Is a Virtual Phone Number?
A virtual phone number is a real phone number that works online instead of being tied to a physical SIM card or a single device. Depending on the number and service, you can use it to make and receive calls, send and receive SMS, receive verification codes and keep your personal phone number separate.
Virtual phone numbers are also useful for businesses that need local numbers, call forwarding, customer support or multiple phone numbers from different countries.
