If you live outside US, most likely you have been tempted to get a US phone number for some reason but have been at a loss on how to go about getting one. The good news is, it's pretty simple to get a US phone number nowadays. That means that your customers or relatives in the US can easily and conveniently reach you regardless of where you are by calling a number that is local to them.
So, how do you go about getting a local US phone number?
Just sign up with a virtual phone services provider such as jetnumbers.com, tollfreeforwading.com or sonetel.com. These companies will give you the choice of choosing the state you would like to have a presence in-you can choose Alabama, New York, California, or whatever other state that you wish. After that you will provide your phone number to which calls to your chosen virtual phone number will be forwarded to. You will then be required to choose your preferred plan (different plans differ in terms of cost and depend on the size of business). To activate the free trial most of the companies require you to provide them with your debit/credit card details. This enables them to bill you immediately your subscription period is over. Good news is that you can cancel your subscription before the trial period is over. So, cancel your subscription immediately you are not happy with the services to avoid billing.
You can then relax and enjoy receiving calls from your customers world wide and they will be none the wiser; they will not know where you are located. Your customers in the US or relatives will be calling a US local number and you will be picking the call in Kenya, Mexico, UK, China, India, or in any other part of the world. It's a very good option for people who wouldn't like their location to be known. Moreover, this option gives clients an incentive to call. Calling international phone numbers puts one off due to the associated international call rates. These are bypassed using a virtual US telephone number if the customers you are targeting are in the US.
What's more? You can actually get yourself a US toll free number. This boosts the image of a business and gives the customers an incentive to call your company and inquire about your services. Everyone likes free things and so customers may be more willing to call you if you provide them with a virtual phone number instead of a regular phone number.
Looking for a free US virtual telephone number? So far I have not come across a company that offers free US virtual phone numbers to US non-residents. What I know is that most companies offer a limited free trial after which you are subscribed to the plan of your choice. But most of the plans are very affordable.
You can get a US virtual phone number from outside the USA, You just need to do sign up on CallHippo to buy a Virtual US number.
