Virtual Phone Service FAQs

Curious about how it all works? Get the answers your small business needs.

It’s easy to secure your virtual phone number. The first step is to choose a virtual phone service provider that fits your budget. Nextiva is the top-rated VoIP provider for small businesses.

Next, you can pick the virtual phone number you want. Start with the desired area code, and a list of available phone numbers will appear.

After you confirm your selection, you can begin calling by downloading the free NextivaONE business communications app.

Small business owners can pick a new number or transfer existing phone numbers into a virtual phone system.

There are four types of virtual phone numbers:

  1. Local phone numbers ‐ A local number associated with a different city through the area code of your choice.
  2. Toll-free number ‐ A distinct phone number that starts with 800, 888, 877, 866, 855, 844, or 833 without a specific location assigned to it and can be dialed from any landline.
  3. Vanity phone numbers ‐ A special phone number where the digits spell out a specific word or phrase.
  4. International phone numbers ‐ A phone number located outside the United States, so callers don’t pay international long-distance to dial your business.

You can use any phone number with Nextiva’s business phone service. The process of transferring phone numbers is known as porting. You can port landline, toll-free, cell phone, virtual, and VoIP numbers.

Nextiva provides this complimentary service with every account. We'll guide you through every step to ensure you transfer your business number successfully.

Watch this short video to learn how to use your existing phone numbers with Nextiva:

To get a new business phone number, you can choose them during account setup. Nextiva accounts also get a toll-free phone number at no charge.

More than 100,000 companies of all sizes rely on Nextiva to connect team members in the office and abroad. And business communications spark that growth.

  • Conference calling ‐ Connect multiple people over a phone line to participate in a conference call, so you can hold important meetings even when people are working remotely.
  • Mobile apps ‐ Equip your team with a full-featured business communications app. It works seamlessly with its users on desktop apps. NextivaONE is free for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS — and even works in your web browser.
  • Business text messaging ‐ On Nextiva’s Professional plan and higher, users can send and receive SMS-based text messages from their business phone system using their mobile device or desktop app.
  • Video conferencing ‐ There is no need to travel when you can connect face-to-face, using HD video meetings with other NextivaONE users.
  • Video conferencing ‐ There is no need to travel when you can connect face-to-face, using one-to-one HD video calls with other NextivaONE App users.
  • Voice calling ‐ You don’t need a cell phone or desk phone when you can call from your business line directly from the app.

A virtual phone number issued by a VoIP provider connects calls to a user’s softphone app, VoIP desk phone, or forwards incoming calls to any number, such as a cell phone.

With a virtual number, all you need to do is set up the call management features like business hours, auto attendants, and outbound caller ID preferences.

Some small business owners want all their phones to ring at once, like Google Voice — and that’s easily done with Nextiva.

Free virtual numbers can be reassigned, so choosing one from a top-rated business VoIP provider like Nextiva is best.

No, physical phones aren’t necessary to realize all the benefits of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP). With the NextivaONE App, businesses can provide phone service for their employees. It’s available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.

Nextiva customers can provide their team with affordable physical phones whenever they want. All that’s needed is a high-speed broadband connection.

You can select a new phone number for your business while setting up your phone system. Pick out any available local, vanity, or toll-free number. It’s up to you.

Talk with a Nextiva phone system expert to see which numbers are available. They can discuss which area codes and prefixes you can get for your business.
