Will a World Number replace my phone line?
Yes it can. Most small businesses/individuals own a landline and a mobile phone. You can replace your landline with a World Number and redirect this number to your mobile or to any of our redirection options. The real benefit is your World Number can move with you.
Are there any phones that World Numbers will not redirect to?
No, World Numbers are device independent, so you can redirect your numbers to a land line, mobile phone or even your own SIP server.
How long does it take for a redirection to take place?
Redirections are active immediately.
Can I redirect my phone number's to multiple phones?
You can set your numbers to redirect to up to 5 different phone numbers. You can easily log into your dashboard to add, delete and change the priority for the phone numbers you are redirecting to.
How much do calls cost?
You are charged for the destination of the phone call. So if you have a London phone number and you are redirecting it to New York, you will get charged the New York call rates. You can find our call rate chart here.
Does my customer get charged for calling my number's?
