How to get a virtual number in the US?

What is a virtual number?

A virtual phone number is a great business tool for many teams. A virtual phone number is simply the phone number that is attached to your virtual phone system. However, since by nature virtual phone systems aren’t tied to any one location, you can take advantage of virtual numbers from locations where you aren’t physically located. This expands the options that your business has when looking for a business phone number, or if you are looking to expand to having multiple business phone numbers.
