What Is A Virtual Landline, And How Does It Work?
A virtual landline is just one of many types of virtual phone systems that makes it look like, to the person making the call, you have a physical business landline phone. Whereas, in actuality, your ‘office phone’ is just a number that automatically redirects to your current phone or any internet device that can be used for calls, be it a mobile smartphone, cloud-based VOIP phone system, tablet, or even a smartwatch!
A virtual landline telephone, from telephone system providers such as Prestige Telecom Group, allows you to have one, simple, phone number that can be used across your business. This simplicity reduces confusion for people and clients, be they existing customers or prospective ones, when they are looking to call you. For your business, you can rest assured knowing you’ll never miss out on a call containing vital information or potential new business opportunities.
As well as allowing you to give great service to customers no matter where you are, a virtual landline number is also much cheaper. Rather than paying for costly phone bills or phone contracts, instead, you can benefit from a landline phone provider that reduces phone number costs because you’re using a digital phone, as opposed to a single cell phone, or a temporary phone, that is being used for office calls only.
Here at Prestige Telecom, we have offered these types of solutions for clients for years now and feel confident that we’re able to help you set up the best virtual landline for your business. We can help with the entire process, from educating you as to the benefits of minimum call charges, incoming call management, and secret call screening, to helping you select an appropriate solution based on tariffs and monthly plan, which, incidentally, range from 12-24 months. Once your very own Prestige account manager has set your system up, you can start to enjoy all these benefits, and more, knowing that you’ll now never miss a phone call that could, potentially, take your business to new heights.
What Are The Benefits Of This Type Of Phone System?
As we’ve said, a virtual landline, or virtual phone number, uses IP telephony and call forwarding so you can use handsets for calls to customers. A caller, be they an outbound caller or inbound caller, can dial one number and think they are calling a physical landline, unaware that the call is being diverted to a team of people across mobile devices, VOIP systems or laptops and computers that can make and receive phone calls.
There are plenty of benefits to using a system that creates a virtual landline number on mobile, as we’ll explain in this section. A fundamental benefit to using virtual landlines in the UK is that you can, essentially, split your one mobile device into two phones. A virtual landline allows your mobile device to act as a business telecommunication solution, it also separates personal contacts from business contacts, and stops potentially nuisance callers from having your personal number and contacting you at busy times of the day.
Another key benefit is that a virtual landline ensures you have consistency across your branding. One number allows you to post it on your website, social media channels, such as Instagram or Twitter, or in physical spaces such as billboards, safe in the knowledge that that is the only point of contact. Keeping things streamlined and professional makes you look good and ensures actual callers aren’t left to leave a voicemail.
Communication solutions such as these require no hardware. Opting for a virtual landline doesn’t require you, or your business, to invest in new equipment, be that phones, tablets or aerials. The packages that we offer here at Prestige Telecom Group are compatible with all smartphones, be they personal or otherwise, and can be installed on there without any fuss or extra cost.
A final key benefit is the level of customisation that comes with a phone system such as this. There are so many features that come with using virtual landlines for mobiles. From call forwarding, which allows you, in real-time, to divert a call to another employee, to SMS and email notifications, and the ability to engage in conferencing. It doesn’t matter where members of your team are in the country, or the world, you can get extensions for each and every one of them.
How Prestige Telecom Group Can Help You With This Business Telephone System?
As experts in telecoms, offering services such as VOIP, business mobile broadband and business mobiles, we love this type of telephone system. We love the flexibility it gives to businesses and how it ensures they can offer their services to people no matter where they are. Communication, and being seen as a business that is in contact with its valued customers, should not be underestimated. Clients will forgive a great deal, and appreciate you a lot more, if they know there is someone on the other end of the phone, ready to respond, at all times of the day.
If this seems like something you’d benefit from then you should absolutely get in touch with our team of experts at Prestige Telecom today. They have an innate knowledge of this solution and can help you implement it so that it is effective and bespoke to you and your business – whether you’re a one-man-band or a team of dozens. We know that, while the technology behind virtual landlines is interesting, it isn’t the main reason you choose this solution, you choose it because you want the seamless, effective benefits that will help your business. We’ll skip past the jargon, and unnecessary conversations, and instead, spend that time speaking to you in plain-English about the things that matter – tariffs and length of plan.
The contracts that we offer are all short to medium term so you can tweak and adjust it based on ever-changing business needs. You can also be sure that we’ll never hide costs or charge you hidden fees. We have one price per user and that’s all you’ll ever need to pay – it’s that simple. As we mentioned at the top of the page, upon choosing this service, you’ll be assigned a dedicated member of our accounts team who will work for you, ensuring the price you’re paying is always the best one that is out there. If any new features, products, or services arise that we think may be of interest to you, your account manager will proactively reach out to let you know about them so you’re always aware of how new cutting-edge technology can benefit you.
We’ll walk you through the process and, through online demos, train you and your team to use the virtual landline software to the fullest of its capabilities so you can get the most out of this investment, beyond just accepting and making calls. And, of course, we’ll always be there to answer questions or resolve any issues that you may have once you’re up-and-running with this effective business communication system.

If you’re looking for an alternative to traditional landlines for your business, there are a few options available. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is a popular option that uses the internet to make and receive calls. This type of service is often cheaper than traditional landlines and can be used with a variety of devices, including computers, smartphones, and tablets. Additionally, many VoIP providers offer features such as voicemail, call forwarding, and conference calling.
Another option is a virtual phone system, which is a cloud-based phone service that can be used with any device. This type of system is often more affordable than traditional landlines and can be used from anywhere. It also offers features such as voicemail, call forwarding, and conference calling.

Diverting your landline telephone to your mobile is super easy and comes with a host of benefits for you and the caller. On a regular device, begin by picking up the telephone so that you hear the dial tone. Then, enter the numbers ’21’ followed by the number that you want the call to be diverted to, confirm this by pressing the hash-key (#). For example, you’ll want to type something like: ‘2107319591725#’. Once that is done, you’ll often hear a confirmation along the lines of ‘service feature activated’. If you’re a business that is growing at scale, however, then a proper virtual landline infrastructure should be considered as it can go beyond just diverting calls and offer other features.
A virtual phone call is quite simply a call that takes place over a digital connection. The ‘virtualness’ of it comes from the fact that no physical infrastructure, such as traditional landline phones or phone lines, are used to make or receive a phone call. A virtual phone call works by turning speech from one user into data, scrambling it, and sending it to the other person, converting it back to speech, and playing it through the phone – all of this is done in a matter of milliseconds. To the people on each end of the call, they don’t even notice this process because it happens so quickly, instead, they just enjoy clearer call quality.
Here at Prestige Telecom Group, we’re confident that, as well as offering flexible contracts, we can provide you with a mobile broadband business plan that offers incredibly reliable internet access, so you can focus on your business and not worry about your portable internet solutions.
In theory, yes. You can use your home phone to make and receive calls from prospective clients and customers. However, there is a big caveat to that, just because you can, does that mean you should? While it may seem like a quick-fix, this may only be good in the short term. If your business, that you operate from home, begins to expand, getting regular phone calls from customers to your personal home phone may quickly present logistical problems. What if one of your family members answers it? What if someone else is on the phone at the time of the incoming call? What if you’re out at the time of the call? Thankfully, all this can be eradicated with a virtual landline that gives your business the illusion of a physical location, without needing you to disclose your personal landline.
- Update firmware – Semi-regularly, check if your mobile broadband routers require updating. Most devices run on firmware which may need to be updated a few times over the years that you own the device. Keeping it updated will ensure you’re always receiving the best connection.
- Switch to OpenDNS – An OpenDNS may offer you a safer, more reliable connection, in addition to the speeds offered from a mobile broadband package. If you notice delays in website loading, despite a strong signal, consider an OpenDNS.
- Use a USB extension with your dongle – If you use mobile broadband dongles, use a USB extension cable to attach it to your computer. This extra distance allows you to position your dongle in an area where the signal is better and reduces electrical interference from your PC.
Yes – by downloading the correct software you can effectively turn your laptop, or any internet-enabled device for that matter, into a business phone. You just receive the call on your laptop and speak as if you were on the phone. That is one of the many advantages of a virtual phone system is that, to the person making the call, they think they are just calling a regular landline number. As we’ve stated, this means you can appear to have a physical location be it the UK as a whole, or somewhere within it, that is more specific, such as Manchester or Leeds.
While there may be no hard evidence, the assumption couldn’t be clearer, having a landline number, be it traditional, or part of virtual phone services is an absolute must. At the very least, it won’t harm your business. For local businesses or businesses that wish to appear local, a landline with a geographic code (0121, 0161 etc) can instil immediate trust and convenience because the person making the call already assumes that they are calling a local business that can sort their needs quicker because they are nearby. Of course, in the modern world, all avenues of communication, from VoIP digital phones right the way through to chatbots, should be considered as the way people interact changes. A virtual landline should be thought of as a priority when selecting which methods to employ.
Yes. To put it simply. Calls do not travel over the traditional telephony methods. Calls travel through the internet.
