Use a virtual number for your service website or online shop
If you run a business or work for yourself selling services or products online, you need a way for customers to call with questions or place an order. A virtual number gives your website or online shop a landline contact number without publishing your personal mobile. You can add a virtual PBX if you need more call management features.
Publish the number you order from FijoVirtual on your site and use it for bookings or customer service. With a virtual receptionist, callers hear a welcome message introducing your business before choosing the right department. For example, they can press 1 for sales, 2 for bookings or 3 for technical support. A greeting recorded by a native speaker of the relevant country is also an option. Each extension can forward calls to the landline or mobile you specify, to one shared phone or to several phones simultaneously, according to your configuration.
If you only order a virtual number for your city, without a virtual PBX, incoming calls are automatically forwarded to your chosen mobile. This gives you a landline number on your mobile. Callers pay according to their operator and plan. Choose the number and call handling options that suit your website, and check the subscription and forwarding rates before ordering.

Establish your business abroad
If you run a business or work for yourself in Madrid, for example, you can use a virtual number in Mexico City, with the 55 area code, to give customers a local point of contact. With FijoVirtual, calls to that Mexican virtual landline number are automatically forwarded to your landline in Madrid or the Spanish mobile number you specify. Customers call a number in their own country and you answer where you work. The cost of their call depends on their operator and plan; check number availability and forwarding rates before ordering.

Give your business a more professional image
Do you work around Barcelona but spend most of your time away from the office, with nobody there to answer calls? You can order a Barcelona virtual number, with the 93 area code, from FijoVirtual. Calls to this virtual landline number are automatically forwarded to the mobile number you choose. You keep a local business number while answering from your mobile, whether or not you have a physical landline in the office. Callers pay according to their operator’s rates. For additional call management features, you can also use our virtual PBX.

Reduce roaming costs when travelling abroad
Imagine you live in Madrid and are travelling to the United States, but still want to receive calls from customers and friends in Spain. Before leaving, you order a Spanish FijoVirtual number and set your Spanish mobile to forward calls to it. Set this up while you are still in Spain. On arrival, you obtain a local SIM and tell us your US number. Calls to your Spanish mobile can then reach that number through the virtual number. This avoids receiving those calls on your Spanish SIM while roaming. Check your operator’s forwarding charges, the virtual number’s destination rates and any charges on the local SIM before travelling. Virtual numbers.

Get a 902 number
Businesses often receive repeated calls to their landline from customers who need help with different tasks. The original example mentions getting a 902 number, a 900 number or a 901 number to handle these calls. These are Spanish numbering ranges, and they can also be used as virtual numbers. Before choosing one, check availability, charges for callers and the requirements that apply to your intended use. Explore our virtual numbers before selecting the right option for your business.

Keep family and friends closer
Suppose you live in Madrid and want to receive calls from relatives abroad, for example in Lima, Peru. The original example uses a Lima virtual number from FijoVirtual, beginning with 641. Calls to that virtual landline number are automatically forwarded to your Madrid landline or the Spanish mobile number you specify. Your family calls a number local to them, while you answer on your usual phone. Check the current availability of numbers in the chosen location, the caller’s rates and the forwarding cost before ordering. Virtual numbers.

Save on traditional landline rental
The original article compared a Spanish telephone line rental charge of €18.14 with an Amena mobile internet offer including 100 GB and no landline. It suggested savings of more than €10 a month and mentioned a plan without a minimum contract term. These are historical prices and conditions, not a current offer. The underlying idea is to combine internet access without a traditional phone line with a virtual number from FijoVirtual. Calls to a number in your city are forwarded to the mobile you specify. Compare today’s internet plans, virtual number subscription and forwarding charges to see whether this arrangement suits you. Also check the conditions of any flat-rate plan. Virtual numbers.

Manage incoming calls with a virtual receptionist
If you are self-employed or run a small business, you may work both in and out of the office and struggle to answer every customer call. A virtual landline number and a virtual PBX can help organise incoming calls. Give customers the number and let a voice menu welcome them and offer extensions: press 1 for sales, press 2 for billing, for example. You can configure each extension of your virtual PBX to forward calls to a different landline or mobile, or send them all to the same phone. Choose the arrangement that fits how your business handles calls.

Run temporary marketing campaigns
A common use for a virtual number is a specific product or service launch. You publish a phone number so that people can request information or place an order. With FijoVirtual, calls ring on the landline or mobile you choose. By adding a virtual PBX, you can configure email notifications for incoming calls. This helps you keep track of the number of calls received and assess the response to your campaign. A dedicated number lets you distinguish these enquiries from calls to your usual business number and see how much telephone interest the campaign generates. Virtual numbers.

Separate your business from your private life
If you are self-employed or freelance, giving every customer your personal mobile number can mean calls at any hour. Order a FijoVirtual number and give customers that landline number instead. Calls to your virtual landline number are automatically forwarded to your mobile. With a virtual PBX, you can also set the hours during which you want to receive business calls. Outside those hours, callers can leave a message that you receive by email as an audio file. This gives customers a dedicated point of contact and helps you organise your availability.
