Virtual phone number is secondary phone number that rings to your primary Vintone line. Get a Virtual Phone Number wherever your family and friends live and they can call you as local. For example: Let's say that you live in Ottawa where your Vintone primary number has area code 613. Your mom lives in Calgary and her area code is 403. You could get a virtual phone number with area code 403 that rings to your 613 line. Now mom doesn't have to pay long distance charges when she calls your 403 virtual phone number.
Please note that Virtual Phone Numbers are for incoming calls only and are only available to Vintone customers. Virtual Phone Numbers can be added under Features tab from your web portal. |
