What is a virtual phone number?

A virtual phone number lets you make and receive calls, send and receive texts, on one mobile phone without having to reveal your main mobile number. Ideal if you want to separate your work and personal life without having to use a second physical phone.

With a virtual phone number, you do not need a second mobile phone, any more SIM’s & no second mobile contract!

How is a virtual phone number protected against unwanted calls & texts?

A virtual phone number is protected from unwanted calls and texts when known bad actors are blocked from ever reaching you.

Another Number uniquely offers a virtual phone number with a smart call blocker that secures the privacy of your virtual number, eliminating scam calls & texts from a Rolodex of unwanted callers. These numbers include scammers, telemarketers & spammers.

Our technology stops the call or text ever reaching you, protecting you and your virtual number from these bad actors. In the coming months, we will be adding the ability to add numbers to the list, including anyone you would no longer like to receive calls or texts from.

What coverage do you get with a virtual phone number

Another Number uniquely offers the choice of making and receiving calls depending on your situation, using your dedicated mobile voice network when on the move and VoIP in those places your mobile network doesn’t reach.

Why is this important? Because other virtual number services do not offer this complete coverage as they only offer either just VoIP or they use the mobile voice network using unconventional callbacks to complete your calls.
