Virtual number for receiving SMS and calls: communication without borders

About virtual numbers of phones now speak practically at every step. The Internet is getting more and more adept into everyday life every year, and now so-called IP-telephony is at the peak of its popularity. But what are the advantages of this method of communication? After all, it would seem, what can be an uncomfortable ordinary cell phone, which each of us carries with him everywhere?

• First of all, the cost of communication with the IP-protocol is significantly reduced. This becomes possible due to the fact that it can simultaneously transmit the signals of tens or even hundreds of phone calls. If within one country this saving is not yet particularly palpable, then when it comes to international negotiations, the difference is cardinal. However, the distance between subscribers does not matter.
• There is also the concept of a virtual direct number. In this case, your friends and relatives can contact you by dialing an ordinary city number. At the same time, you can be anywhere in the world - Australia, the US, and even in Antarctica!
• In parallel with the city, you can have a virtual mobile number. It has a binding to one or another cellular operator.
• You can buy an ordinary number or "golden" - beautiful, easily memorable, convenient for simple communication and in business.

You can issue a specialized virtual number for receiving SMS. This service will be extremely useful to all: not only to businessmen or constantly traveling people, but to any person in general. An elementary example of a situation when you might need a virtual number for receiving SMS is registration in social networks (VKontakte, Facebook, etc.). As you know, now this type of services began actively linking users' pages to their mobile numbers. This is done for account security reasons. However, it does not take into account the interests of those who need to create several different accounts for different purposes, or those who wish to remain anonymous. A virtual number for receiving SMS can be issued by using one of the many services.

However, it still remains an open question as to why the virtual number is better than the next SIM card purchased? The fact is that almost any service gives its customers the opportunity to manage their number in their personal account, experimenting with options as they like. Here are just some of the possibilities that a virtual number for a person receiving SMS or calls opens before a person:

• Record and store all conversations;
• Creation of a voice menu, using which the caller can address to a specific department of your company or organization, and immediately get answers to your questions;
• The ability to receive and send faxes;
• The organization of outgoing calls from the personal cabinet (will allow employees working at home to perform their duties to the fullest extent);
• The ability to analyze all the perfect calls to assess the performance of companies;
• Creation of telephone conferences, connection to the conversation of new participants.

Thus, we see that IP-telephony is a technology of the future, which will soon take a deserved position in the personal life of a person and business.
