What are virtual phone numbers?
A virtual SMS phone number enables your business to send and receive SMS text messages online over the internet without having to use a physical phone.
Given that one-third of consumers prefer to contact a business via text message over any other communication channel, having a text-enabled virtual phone number is a big part of meeting customer expectations.
Like a real phone number, your online virtual phone number is unique to your business. You can use your business’s existing phone number or get a new phone number to text online. If you choose a new virtual phone number, you can set up call forwarding to direct calls to a physical phone, too.
Your virtual phone number allows you to send bulk SMS, receive SMS online, and respond to individuals.
With a business text messaging platform like https://speedsms.in/, you can start texting from your virtual phone number to numbers in the U.S., Canada, and some mobile carriers in the Caribbean.

“What I like about this software is that I am able to contact recruits without using my own telephone number. I am able to message recruits the same as on my personal phone, but I am not crowding up my personal messages app.”

“I would oftentimes need customers to send me photos of their equipment setup and I didn’t want to give out my personal phone number. This way I was able to have people message the business itself and not involve personal phone numbers.”
