Business Virtual Number
What "virtual" means for a business number on the published record — one number, no premises tie, calls to the answer point recorded at signup. Not virtual-mobile.
A business virtual number, on the published record, is a business number that is not tied to a premises line or a handset: callers dial one published number and calls arrive at the answer point recorded at signup. That is the whole virtual claim this site makes. It is not a virtual-mobile product — no SMS capability, no app, no temporary or free numbers are published here.
What the virtual number is
- A 1300, 1800 or Phoneword number — the three published forms. Words ride on 1300 or 1800 up to six letters, from $40 per month, searchable on Find a Number.
- State-neutral: no area code, so the one published contact point serves callers wherever they dial from in Australia.
- Connected, not wired: the signup flow asks for the number the service will connect to; calls arrive at that recorded answer point.
- Planned: published rows at $10, $15, $39, $79 and $99 per month on the pricing page.
What it is not
Stated plainly: not virtual-mobile, not SMS-capable, not temporary, and not a documented feature platform beyond the plan rows and the three listed add-ons (Call Tracking Numbers $5/month, IVR Keypress Menu $35/month, Postcode Prompter $250/month). No activation timeframe is published; the team confirms connection specifics. The virtual numbers for business page frames the category further.

Virtual-number questions
What makes a business number virtual?
On this record, one thing: it is not tied to a premises line or handset — calls arrive at the answer point recorded at signup.
Can a virtual number send and receive SMS?
SMS is not a published product here, so this page does not establish it.
Can I change where calls land later?
This page does not document answer-point changes. The signup flow records the connection point; the team can confirm current details.
Is it a real business number?
Yes — a 1300 or 1800 (or a word on either), published at $10 to $99 per month depending on the row.
