Forwarding international calls just got a lot cheaper.
You can have your customers, family and friends contact you on a UK telephone number without having to worry about the cost of answering the call internationally.
What is International Call Forwarding?
International call forwarding is a routing service that takes incoming calls and forwards them to any destination in the world. Recently, this service has become more accessible with the rise of VoIP and their reasonable pricing.
International Call Forwarding Options
From just £6.50 per month, you can now use one of our Virtual landline plans to initiate Overseas call diverts. If you own a virtual number based in the UK that diverts to mobile, then you can be anywhere in the world and receive calls. This is ideal for people travelling who need to contact friends and family but want to avoid the high international tariffs, or an employee that works remotely in another country, or even a business with other company bases in different locations around the world.
Benefits of International Call Forwarding
There are many benefits when it comes to international call forwarding, and we will be covering them today.
Remote Work
Using international call forwarding can give you and your employees the opportunity to work remotely. Using a forwarding phone service means that you can forward calls from your well known UK landline to any destination in the world.
UK Presence
Expanding your business abroad can come with many challenges, and maintaining your UK presence is one of them. Using an international call forwarding service can mean your overseas employees can receive calls from your national number, maintaining your UK presence.
Cheap Calls
International call forwarding can also be a great way to keep calls cheap for everyone. If you're living abroad, your family can call your UK landline and pay a typical fee, and you can have the call routed to your other phone that is with you abroad.
Improved Customer Experience
Businesses that span different countries will typically have differing prices in regard to contacting them from country to country. This is why setting up an international call forwarding service can be a great way to minimise the cost of contacting your business, improving customer service and relations.

Great to speak to a UK based call centre on the phone, Dan couldn't have been more helpful and friendly! Everything was explained clearly, and the switch over to Virtual Landline from my old copper landline went really smoothly. It did exactly what it promised. Really happy with how easy it all was.
