## What is a virtual number?

A **virtual number** is a phone number that isn't tied to a physical line, SIM card or location. Instead of being wired to a single handset, a virtual phone number lives in the cloud and routes calls to wherever you actually are — your office desk phone, your mobile, a softphone app, a call centre, or your Cloud PBX.

That makes a virtual number perfect for businesses that want a professional local presence without the cost of physical lines. A **virtual landline** gives you a local geographic number — a familiar area code like 02 (Sydney), 03 (Melbourne), 07 (Brisbane) or 08 (Perth/Adelaide) — so customers see a local business they trust, even if your team works remotely or across multiple sites.

### Why businesses choose a virtual number in Australia

- **Local presence anywhere** — pick a local area code for any Australian city, regardless of where your team is based.
- **Point calls anywhere** — ring your office, mobile, PBX or call centre, and change the destination whenever you like.
- **No physical line required** — no copper, no NBN voice service, no on-site hardware to maintain.
- **Keep your number** — port an existing landline number to Simtex and carry it with you.
- **Scale easily** — add numbers for new locations, departments or campaigns in minutes.

## Virtual & Mobile Numbers FAQ

Common questions about virtual numbers and Australian mobile numbers for business.

**Q: What is a virtual number?**

A: A virtual number is a phone number that isn't tied to a physical phone line or location. It lives in the cloud and routes incoming calls to wherever you choose — your office, a mobile, a softphone app, or your Cloud PBX. A virtual landline gives you a local Australian area code (such as 02, 03, 07 or 08) so you present a local business presence without needing a physical line at that address.

**Q: Can I get an Australian mobile number for my business?**

A: Yes. Simtex provides Australian mobile numbers (04x) for business use. Your mobile number rings through to a softphone app, your Cloud PBX or your existing devices — no extra SIM or handset required. It's ideal as a dedicated business mobile number or a second mobile number that keeps work calls separate from personal ones.

**Q: How much is a business mobile number?**

A: Australian mobile numbers from Simtex are **$5.50 per month each**. There's no SIM card or second handset to buy — the number rings on the devices and apps you already use. Contact our team for current call rates and bundle pricing.

**Q: Can I port my existing mobile number to Simtex?**

A: Yes. You can port your existing Australian mobile number across to Simtex and keep the number your customers already know. We manage the porting process for you, and you can also port existing landline numbers. There's no need to change your number when you switch.

**Q: Can a virtual number ring on my mobile and desk phone?**

A: Absolutely. Virtual and mobile numbers can ring multiple devices at once or in sequence — your desk phone, mobile, softphone app and PBX. You decide where calls land and can change the destination at any time, which is ideal for hybrid teams, after-hours cover and field staff.

**Q: What is the difference between a virtual number and a 1300 number?**

A: A virtual number is a standard local landline or mobile number (for example 02, 03 or an 04x mobile) that routes calls wherever you choose. A 1300 or 1800 number is a national inbound number designed for nationwide reach and call distribution. Many businesses use both. If you're after a national presence or a memorable national number, see our [1300 & 1800 Numbers](/products/inbound-numbers) page.
