In Soviet times, getting your own city phone number was very problematic. It was necessary not only to apply for connection, but also to stand in line for several years. Today there are no problems either with connecting a landline phone to an apartment, or with mobile communications. Communication has become an integral part of our lives.
For business negotiations and business development, many operators offer to connect a landline number. What is it?
City number – a number belonging to a certain regional prefix. For example, most Moscow telephones begin with 495. These numbers are also called the area code. After it comes the seven-digit value xxx-xx-xx or the six-digit value xx-xx-xx. These 6-7 digits are the city number.
Mobile operators usually issue federal numbers like +79хх ххх-хх-хх. This is a long sequence of numbers that is difficult to remember. In addition, a call from a landline phone to a feder althe number is considered by the operator as long-distance, and the payment for a minute of conversation is automatically increased, although you and the interlocutor are in the same city. In order to simplify such negotiations, mobile communication companies offer their customers to connect a direct landline number (also called a virtual number) to their cell phone.
This service is suitable for businessmen who do not like to sit in the office or are on business trips due to circumstances. A person moves and talks on a cell phone, which is assigned a direct landline number. When changing office or apartment, the client does not need to change it. If for some reason the subscriber wants to stop communicating with suppliers, customers, former employees, etc., he simply refuses this service and communicates via federal mobile communications. Unwanted persons, therefore, without knowing his cell phone, will not be able to contact him.
Getting a virtual landline number is easy. You can buy it at a mobile phone store, order it on the website of a mobile operator and pay via the Internet, and then just come to the nearest point of the service provider and draw up documents - whatever is more convenient for you.
