Frequently Asked Questions About Business Phone Numbers and Our Service

FAQ: Business Phone Numbers

What Is a Virtual Phone Number?

A virtual business phone number is like any other phone number. You can make and receive calls and have a voicemail. However, unlike a regular phone number, a virtual phone number allows you to have a dedicated business phone number alongside a personal phone number on the same phone. There is no additional hardware required to use a virtual phone number. You keep using your phone as you have been.

What Is a Vanity Phone Number?

A vanity number is an easily remembered sequence of numbers used for marketing purposes, such as 1-800-PET-FOOD or 1-800-Go-FedEx. When you dial 1-800-PET-FOOD, you are calling 1-800-732-3663. Vanity numbers are not limited to toll-free numbers. You can have a vanity phone number with a local phone number too. If you had a local number of 509-555-3663, your vanity number would be 509-555-FOOD.
