What is a virtual phone number?

Unlike a traditional phone number, a virtual phone number is one that is not associated with any physical phone. Calls to virtual numbers can be redirected to other phone numbers or VoIP applications on any computer or cell phone. Usually used by international companies, virtual numbers allow you to make and receive calls from anywhere.
