At the start of a business or company, it can be inconvenient and expensive to maintain a second mobile phone, especially for small businesses and sole traders. At the same time, the use of personal phones for business is fraught with issues, one of which is privacy and maintaining the all-important healthy work-life balance. You really do not want your private phone number out there in the wild. A virtual business phone number comes to the rescue, allowing you to get your business off to a good start. Moreover, virtual phone numbers can be local numbers and this gives your business a professional look.
It is possible to think of a virtual phone number as being different from a standard phone number. The virtual phone numbers we offer through our partner providers are real phone numbers that allow most of the same functionalities as standard phone numbers. The only difference is that there is no physical SIM card. And yes, you can use them for WhatsApp.
Second Phone? Not Needed
One key advantage of a virtual business phone number is that you do not need to have a second phone and you will still be able to differentiate between your personal and business calls. Virtual business phone number providers allow you to forward calls received on the virtual number to a regular phone number. They also provide mobile apps (Android and iOS) that allow you to make Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls. You will be able to see the number calling your business. And if you initiate a call through the mobile VoIP app, your customer will see your virtual phone number, not your personal number.
And with Dual App or App Twins feature available in popular mobile phone models, you can easily have a second instance of your favourite social media apps. Even in the absence of this feature, you can use WhatsApp Business with the standard WhatsApp on the same phone.
