Need help when travelling abroad with your virtual numbers? Make sure you have all the information you need when using your virtual travel companion, with Virtual Landline. No hidden charges or fees, so you can run your business from anywhere in the world.
What is A Virtual Travel Number?
A virtual number is one that you use for business purposes to keep your personal number private. It means you have a landline number available for customers to ring even if you don't have an actual landline, you can also choose a certain number such as local or national numbers.
Adding in the travel aspect for your virtual number just means you can now use the call forwarding or diverting service to get the calls from your landline to your phone.
If you are on holiday or a business trip and need to take a call that's urgent, you won't need to miss it and potentially lose business.
Why Choose A Virtual Travel Number?
With a virtual phone number, users don't require access to a cell tower or a specific device in order to make or receive calls. This means you don't have to be in a certain location, as these virtual numbers make and receive calls over the internet. This allows anyone with the virtual phone numbers to communicate using any device as long as it has a connection.
The device that the virtual number is routed to can also be altered at any time, this provides a huge advantage and freedom to those who use virtual Landline for professional or personal use.
Travelling with a Virtual Number
If you are a frequent traveller or have an upcoming trip, you should use a virtual phone number to keep costs low. Whatever type of travelling you are doing: business or holiday, you will need a way to communicate with friends, family and colleagues while away.
A UK virtual phone number is a way of keeping in touch and protecting your privacy at little expense to yourself.
With one of Virtual Landline's UK numbers, you never have to reveal your personal mobile phone number to anyone. As the number is virtual, they will redirect to your chosen device. Helpful to keep the divide between your professional and personal life.
This redirection is especially handy for business owners or sole traders. It minimises the risk of missing important business calls. Stats show 85% of people will not call back if their call is unanswered. Therefore, having access to your professional landline at all times can prevent you from losing business and developing a bad reputation.

Control Your Virtual Calls
Using a virtual landline number means you can have full control of your business from anywhere in the world. Making sure you can contact colleagues and customers whilst on your travels is a necessary when it comes to owning a business. If you're away with family but have an urgent issue, you have control over the situation, and you're able to sort things out even when out of the country.
You can also set up meetings with people who you may be travelling to meet for business purposes, if you rely on overseas companies to make products or clothing then having a virtual number means you can contact them when you're also overseas.

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.
