Virtual Phone Numbers are the Local and/or Toll-Free Numbers that your callers dial (i.e. business phone numbers). A virtual phone number, also known as DID or access number, is a telephone number without a directly associated telephone line. These numbers can be programmed to forward incoming calls directly to your forwarding phone numbers, a voicemail box, and/or a call menu (Depending on your plan).
