One problem often mentioned to us is the problem of having multiple virtual phone numbers for different areas pointed to the same phone, and then not knowing which number people are calling and therefore not knowing which area they are talking about. Such a scenario can leave you feeling rather red faced.
The solution to this is offered by many suppliers of virtual phone numbers now, and it is a application often called a whisper. The way it works is that a short recorded message is linked to each phone number. So, if you had an 020 London phone number, then the whisper might be "London number call". When you answer your phone, the whisper is played to you whilst the caller still hears the ringtone and doesn't hear the message, so you know what to expect when you answer. They are also handy for distinguishing between personal calls made to your existing number and business calls made to your virtual number.
If a virtual telephone number company isn't offering this to you as an option, then look for one that does.
