What is Business Phone Number?
Every business has a phone number that it uses to make and receive calls related to its work. This number is called the business phone number. A business number is just like a regular telephone number, but it is used only for business communication, not for personal use.
Businesses phone numbers can be of different types, such as VoIP phone System, local numbers, toll-free numbers, virtual phone numbers, or vanity numbers. The type of phone number a business uses depends on its needs.

How Does a Business Phone Number Work?
If a business number is cloud-based and uses VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone service, the calls are routed through the internet. This means the business can manage and answer calls from anywhere using desk phones, smartphones, computers, or tablets.
On the other hand, if the business number is a regular SIM-based number, the call goes directly to the receiver’s phone. The user makes a call, and the receiver answers it on their mobile phone, just like a normal call.
Types of Phone Numbers Used for Business
The telephony Co provides business local, toll-free, vanity, International and virtual phone numbers in over 40+ countries.
Local Numbers
A local number is a regular telephone number that belongs to a specific region or location. These numbers are linked to a particular area or city and show that the number is from that place through its area code. For example, the area code for New York City in the USA is 212, and for Toronto in Canada, the local area codes are 416 and 647.
Toll Free Numbers
When you see or hear a toll-free number, you can easily tell that this number is free for callers. Toll-free phone numbers are only used for inbound calls, and businesses can only receive calls on them. Callers do not have to pay any charges to make the call, as the business pays for the toll-free number. You can recognize this number by its digits, such as toll-free number codes like 1-800, 833, 844, 855, 866, 877, 888, and many more.
Vanity Numbers
This type of number can be either local or toll-free. These numbers are made up of both letters and numbers, usually representing a business’s brand, product, and service name. These numbers are easy to remember and are often used in advertising to make the business stand out. For example, if you have a bookstore business, a toll-free vanity number could be something like 1-800-BOOK-SHOP. A vanity number is also known as a custom phone number
Virtual Numbers
A virtual phone number is a regular-looking phone number, but it does not require a physical phone line or SIM card. These numbers are not tied to any specific location. Instead, they work through a cloud-based communication service.
Calls on a virtual number are made and received through the internet. You can use any device to make or receive calls, such as mobile phones, laptops, VoIP desk phones, or softphones. Available types of virtual numbers include: Local, Toll-Free, Vanity, and International.
