What is an Online Business Number?
An online business number, otherwise called a virtual phone number or DID, is a phone number that isn’t directly associated to a phone line. These numbers are frequently set up to route incoming calls to one of the pre-set phone numbers picked by the customer; either Landline, Mobile or VoIP.
Online business numbers can be registered with a local or toll free area code & can be customized to provide the perfect vanity number. Talkroute has one of the industry’s largest inventories of online business numbers with hundreds of thousands of options available to choose from.
What you can do with Online Business Numbers
A few more ways Talkroute can help
It’s time to ditch your old-school phone system.
Separate Business & Personal
Our desktop & mobile apps give you the capability to make outgoing calls & send text messages showing your online business number on the outgoing caller ID. This is a perfect way to ensure that your personal number remains private. You may also customize your incoming caller ID so that you will always know whether a call is from friends & family or from your business.
No More Missed Calls
Call Stacking makes sure that your callers remain on hold until someone on your team is available to answer them. Our online business numbers are capable of receiving multiple calls at once, ensuring that your callers never hear a busy signal again. You may even customize the music or message your calls listen to while they are waiting to be connected.
Easily Transferred
Any of the online business numbers that you register with Talkroute can easily be ported to another service provider upon your request. All online business numbers that have been registered with Talkroute are your property (does not apply to trial accounts). There are no contracts or commitments & you may cancel or switch providers at any time.
