Connection times

How long can you expect to wait for a virtual number to be connected?

There is a lot of variation between connection times of virtual phone numbers when one examines the website of key UK resellers.

Some quote instant connection while others state that it will be a minimum wait of 5 working days.

Why such a big difference?

Two reasons:

  1. Shorter connection times can mean the number you will be assigned is VOIP. Ask if in doubt as VOIP call quality is not always what it could be.
  2. The virtual numbers may be held in stock for large areas such as Birmingham, Manchester and London
Resellers include Gold Local Numbers and Send My Call.
