Virtual Phone Numbers provider profile: Gold Local Numbers

This week we’re going to look at an old favourite from the list of virtual number providers – Gold Local Numbers. Gold Local Numbers is a nice little site, with a line of water along the top of each page, and a happy looking goldfish beneath the waterline.

Further down the page, a talking goldfish appears with speech bubbles highlighting some of their key selling points, such as:
 
•    pay per second billing, where you only pay for exactly what you use
 
•    fully itemised billing, so you have the full details of all your calls

•     no long term contracts, so you only have to give 30 days written notice to cancel
 
•    a range of optional features, with amusing names like Whisper Gold and Golden Greeting
 
Everything on their site is as standard – so they offer STD codes for around 500 different UK towns & cities, all of which are listed on the site, and can be viewed either alphabetically or numerically. Their local numbers are not VOIP (voice over internet protocol), so you get a higher quality phone call. Their numbers can be pointed to a landline or a mobile, and they offer fax to email numbers too.
