Global Call Forwarding, also known as an International Call Forwarding or Virtual Number Call Forwarding service, allows you to activate your own local phone number or toll free phone number virtually anywhere in the world.

If you haven't already, view our global virtual number database here.

We currently offer local numbers and toll free numbers in 150+ countries and 1000s of cities around the world.

Perfect for getting calls from international customers or a new geographical market you are now targeting with advertising.

Our global call forwarding or international call forwarding system is designed mainly for businesses to establish virtual presence around the world by activating local or toll-free numbers. These local or toll-free numbers act as a local point of contact and redirect incoming calls to any phone number in the world.

For example, if your business is located in the UK and you wish to establish a local point of contact or phone presence in the US, Germany, Spain and UAE, our virtual number service can provide local or toll-free phone numbers in these countries. They can all 'ring' to your UK headquarters office line.

Once the numbers are activated, all calls made to these numbers in those countries will be redirected to the UK company’s offices or a specific call center that you designate to receive these calls. A virtual phone number will instantly divert calls to a mobile, landline, PBX, VoIP or Call Center in any country.

Virtual number service also comes with a highly scalable set of innovative features that add extra value to the local or toll free phone numbers beyond their primary benefits.

The ability to forward calls is very important for businesses and for frequent travelers. Rather than having to leave outgoing messages to people asking them to call a different number, it is much easier to simply forward calls to another line. If you forward your calls, you will not need to worry about missing important communications.

Add the Outbound Calling option to your virtual number. Make international calls using VoIP and free softphone. Use your smartphone, tablet, PC or Laptop. You can use one of the local or toll free numbers you purchased from us as your Caller ID for your outbound calls.
