Diverting a landline number to a mobile is straight-forward with our service. With Virtual Landline, you can forward any landline number to a mobile of your choice.
For many of us, the ability to answer business calls while on the go is absolutely vital. But making your mobile number public isn’t ideal. By diverting your office landline, you can take calls on your mobile while keeping your personal number separate.
So how does diverting your landline work? When a number is diverted, it acts as a forwarder to the new number. Whoever calls the landline will simply be forwarded to your mobile.
Here’s how you can divert your landline easily.
With three easy steps, you can divert any landline number to a mobile number.
First of all, you need to choose a number to divert to your mobile. Here you have two options. You can either get a new mobile number, or port an existing number.
Getting a custom number is easy with Virtual Landline. We offer deals on national numbers and local numbers by area code. If you are a business looking to target a specific area with your number, look no further. Get a virtual number here!
If you already have your ideal phone number, you should be able to move your existing number to Virtual Landline and apply the number diversion there. This is called number porting, and is allowed by most providers.
Once you have your desired number set up in your Virtual Landline account, you can set up the call divert. When the first number is called, it will instantly divert to the destination number of your choice.
That’s all it takes. You can now take calls to your landline from anywhere.
Diverting a number has plenty of benefits for both businesses and individuals.
Diverting your landline means that you can take calls to this phone from anywhere. This means that you don’t need to be tied to your office, nor will you have to rely on a virtual receptionist.
When forwarding calls to your mobile, you do not need to make your mobile number public. This means that you can avoid having your personal number open to the world, and maintain a separation between business and personal calls.
Virtual Landline gives you the option of choosing a custom phone number to divert. Choose a number local to an area you want to target (eg London numbers) or choose a memorable number that you can market effectively.
If you have multiple phone numbers that you publicise, you can divert them all to your mobile with Virtual Landline. With our free mobile app, you can add up to five numbers to divert. By doing this, you can ensure that anyone trying to reach your business on any front can get through.
The Virtual Landline app will work anywhere with access to the internet, either via 4G/3G or Wi-Fi. If this fails our voicemail service will forward any messages to your chosen email address, so there is no chance of callers slipping through the net.
Many of our customers set up numbers in the UK that divert calls overseas, where the app works just the same. There are over 50 destinations worldwide where you can use your inclusive minutes for diverted calls.
