A virtual phone number is a business number that works over the internet rather than a fixed line. You place and receive calls and texts from any device, and you can choose a local area code for any city you want to serve — without an office there.

DialPhone gives you a virtual number plus everything around it: an AI receptionist, business SMS, calls, and CRM logging in one app. Plans start at $24/user/month with a 14-day free trial.

What you get with a DialPhone virtual number

  • A local number in any US or Canadian area code — browse the full area code directory and claim a recognizable local presence.
  • Toll-free options — 800, 888, and other toll-free prefixes for a national footprint.
  • Free number porting — bring your existing number in 2–5 business days, no interruption.
  • AI receptionist — calls answered and routed 24/7, even outside business hours.
  • Business SMS — text from the same number your customers already know.
  • Every device — native iOS, Android, desktop, and browser apps, with number masking.

How it works

  1. Pick your number — choose a local area code or toll-free prefix, or port your current number for free.
  2. Set up routing — the AI receptionist greets callers, answers questions, and routes by intent.
  3. Start talking — make and take calls, texts, and voicemails across every device, with activity logged automatically.

Who uses a virtual phone number

  • Remote and distributed teams that need one business identity across cities.
  • Small businesses that want a local presence in a market without an office there.
  • Sales teams using local-presence numbers to lift answer rates.

A virtual number is one part of the full DialPhone business phone system — see pricing for plan details, or pick your number from the area code directory.

What is a virtual phone number?

A virtual phone number is a business phone number that runs over the internet instead of a physical SIM or copper line. Calls and texts reach you on any device — desk app, mobile, or browser — and you can pick a local area code for any US or Canadian city, regardless of where your team actually sits. With DialPhone the number also connects to an AI receptionist, business SMS, and your CRM.

Can I choose the area code for my virtual number?

Yes. Pick a local number in any US or Canadian area code — see the full directory on our [area codes](/area-codes) pages. A local 212, 415, or 312 number gives you a recognizable presence in that market even if your team is remote or based elsewhere. Toll-free numbers are also available.

Can I keep my existing number?

Yes. Number porting is free on every DialPhone plan and usually completes in 2 to 5 business days with no service interruption. You can bring local DIDs and toll-free numbers; your callers never notice the switch.

How much does a virtual phone number cost?

DialPhone plans start at $24 per user per month and include the virtual number, unlimited US and Canada calling, business SMS, an AI receptionist, and free porting. There is no separate per-number fee on standard plans, and you can start a 14-day free trial with no card required.

Does a virtual number work for a remote or distributed team?

Yes — that is the core use case. Each team member uses the same business identity from native iOS, Android, desktop, and browser apps, with number masking to keep personal mobile numbers private. Calls route by intent, and the AI receptionist answers 24/7 when no one is available.
