Level: <\/strong>Beginner<\/h5>\n

Today’s smartphones have far surpassed<\/strong> the capabilities of landline phones and are becoming increasingly similar to computers<\/strong>. This, together with the freedom of movement<\/strong> they offer, has led many businesses to consider adopting them.<\/p>\n

Because virtual numbers<\/a> are cloud-based, they are managed entirely over the internet<\/strong>, without relying on physical connections. This means they can be assigned to any device<\/strong> that has a speaker, microphone and internet or data connection.<\/p>\n

CAN I USE A VIRTUAL NUMBER ON A MOBILE PHONE?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Of course you can!<\/strong> Mobile phones are already set up to act as an extension of your company’s telephone system.<\/strong> All you need to get started is a SIM card<\/strong> or a mobile application<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Connecting these devices to the company phone system is extremely useful. You can make free internal calls<\/strong> (even from a landline to a mobile), transfer calls to people outside the office<\/strong> and vice versa, and keep a record of all conversations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

HOW TO USE A VIRTUAL NUMBER ON A MOBILE WITHOUT AN APP<\/span>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h2>\n

This option is only available from certain providers<\/strong> who, in addition to offering business phone systems, are also mobile network operators specialising in business solutions<\/a><\/strong>. These companies offer fixed-mobile integration<\/a><\/strong>, which allows your mobile to be recognised as another extension of the phone system when using a SIM card.<\/p>\n

If you don’t want to rely on a good internet connection<\/strong>, have limited space on your phone<\/strong> for applications, or simply don’t want to train staff to use new software<\/strong>, a SIM card is your best option.<\/p>\n

To start using a virtual number on this device, all you’ll need to do is<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. An active virtual number<\/strong>, i.e. a mobile number hosted in the cloud.<\/li>\n
  2. A compatible SIM card.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Activating<\/strong> the virtual number on your mobile is the same as setting up any personal SIM card<\/strong>. Once inserted into the device, you can start managing business calls immediately.<\/p>\n

    HOW TO USE A VIRTUAL NUMBER ON A MOBILE PHONE USING AN APP<\/span>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h2>\n

    However, the most common option on the market is via applications. This isn’t surprising as most phone system providers don’t offer mobile numbers<\/strong> and even fewer have fully integrated mobile telephony into their systems.<\/p>\n

    However, this option has its advantages, such as the ability to use any SIM card to make business calls<\/strong>. This allows employees to use any smartphone for work purposes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    While that’s handy, remember that you’ll need a strong internet connection<\/strong> (both in and out of the office) to make and receive calls with crystal clear sound quality.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    To start using a virtual number in this setup, you’ll need to<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. A mobile internet connection<\/strong> (4G or 5G) and Wi-Fi.<\/li>\n
    2. An active virtual number<\/strong> (as in the previous case).<\/li>\n
    3. The app<\/strong> installed on the device.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      As with the previous scenario, activation is very simple. If you choose our virtual phone system, all you need to do is<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Download the Enreach Contact<\/strong> app for Android<\/a> or iOS<\/a>.<\/li>\n
      2. Log in<\/strong> with your login details.<\/li>\n
      3. Start making and receiving business<\/strong> calls.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        WHAT’S THE BEST<\/span> OPTION FOR YOUR BUSINESS?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

        Both options have their advantages and disadvantages. The SIM card gives you the freedom to manage calls without the need for an internet connection<\/strong>, while the app, such as Enreach Contact<\/a>, allows you to chat, make video calls and share files.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Best of all, with Enreach<\/a> you don’t have to choose one method over the other<\/strong>, as you can combine both options on a single device.<\/strong><\/p>\n
