Getting a Virtual Number for Your PC-2-Phone

February 14, 2011

When using PC-2-Phone, you can easily make calls while you're at your PC. But what if you want others to be able to call you as well?

Then you get a Virtual Number, paying only a small rental fee. And the thing that's so cool about a Virtual Number is that you can get one in the country / region of your choice.

So, why is this helpful? Here's why: let's assume you're from USA. But you travel a lot (for business, pleasure, or visiting relatives in another country); so you have a great means of placing calls back home (your BananaCall plan and the PC-2-Phone application). BUT if you want other people in USA to be able to call you too - without them paying huge fees for international calls, then get a USA-based Virtual Number. This means your friends can call you on your USA number, at local cost! You pay nothing more than the rental of your Virtual Number, and can pick up your calls from your computer, from the PC-2-Phone application.

Can you get more Virtual Numbers for various countries? Of course you can! You may get as many numbers as you wish, and for all these you'll receive your calls to your PC-2-Phone.

Virtual Numbers are also a great solution if you have a loved one living abroad and you want to make it easier for them to call you. Are your kids abroad for studies? Get a Virtual Number for where they are, give them the number, and they can call you - at local fees!

BananaCall also offers a more convenient way for receiving your calls; if you want to be able to get calls when not signed into your PC-2-Phone, then you have two more options:

1. Get Voice Mail and people can leave you messages, which you'll be able to listen to and answer the next time you log into PC-2-Phone;
2. Redirect calls to your phone: mobile or landline - and you can answer your calls straight from your telephone! This is very convenient when travelling, for example (if we assume you won't have much time to sign into PC-2-Phone, especially if you're away on vacation);

All in all, you'll find that PC-2-Phone offers great solutions for all your calling needs, and coupled up with your calling plan from BananaCall, you'll find yourself making significant savings on international calls.
