Get business phone numbers that help you connect with customers and collaborate with your team better.
A VoIP number is a virtual phone number powered by Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. Unlike traditional phone numbers that are connected to specific devices and lock you into making calls from a specific physical location, VoIP can be used anywhere or on any device with an internet connection.
VoIP numbers send and receive voice calls and texts over the internet, giving your team more flexibility. They convert voice signals into digital packets of information and send them over the internet, after which they get converted again on the other end of the line. This differs from landline numbers, which send signals through physical phone lines.
Modern businesses opt for VoIP phone numbers instead of traditional landlines for their flexibility, call quality, and advanced call-handling features.
With OpenPhone, you can set up local and toll-free VoIP numbers for your business. When you create your OpenPhone account, you can add as many virtual phone numbers as you want to your workspace. Each user in your workspace gets a dedicated phone number that can also be shared by the entire team.
If you need a second phone number (or even more numbers), you can easily add them from your account settings.

Considering which type of phone is right for your business? Opting for a VoIP service instead of a landline phone offers three clear benefits to small businesses:
There are four main differences between VoIP numbers and landlines for your business phone system.
Yes, you can use your existing number as a VoIP number by porting your number to a VoIP phone system. The number porting process can take 1-2 weeks, depending on your existing provider, but it’s a simple process.
Learn more about how you can port your number to OpenPhone.
You can choose your preferred VoIP number during the sign-up process – with the option to choose a phone number or port your existing number.
Once you’ve chosen your number and completed the sign-up process, you can access your VoIP number from your OpenPhone workspace.
If you’ve chosen to port your number, you’ll have to wait 1-2 weeks before you can access and use your number to make phone calls in OpenPhone.
Most reliable VoIP phone systems will require a paid subscription to use their features for business needs. If you want a VoIP number for personal use, Google Voice offers free VoIP numbers. However, if you want to use a VoIP number with your team as a business phone number, you’ll need to pay for a subscription.
You can try OpenPhone’s VoIP features for free with a seven-day trial, after which you’ll need to upgrade to a paid plan. Sign up for OpenPhone and get started.
