Someone asked me the other day what exactly is a virtual phone number. Well, it is a phone number that isn't itself directly associated with a phone line. It is therefore effectively a call forwarding number. Someone phones the number and it forwards the call to either an existing landline or mobile phone number. So, a freephone 0800 number, 0845 number, 0844 number, or a local number or London phone number for a different location are all virtual numbers, as they are all forwarded to existing phone lines, aren't physically connected to that phone line, and can be moved around to point to different phone lines at will.
