Why Is A Virtual Number Essential For Travelers?

But, have you ever wondered how much do you spend on your Telephone Bills while Travelling?

It might come as a surprise to you when you get to know that you are spending 82.5% more than the normal rate.

Normally, a Service provider charges around $20 per month to keep your cell phone number reserved with no plan. Moreover, International Roaming charges vary from $1.00 per minute all the way up to $2.99 per minute.

Wait, there is a solution for this. 

The solution is Virtual Telephone Numbers. With Virtual Numbers, you can park your cell phone numbers for as low as $5 per month. There is no International Roaming when it comes to Virtual Telephone Systems. The call rates are same, irrespective of wherever you are.
