Call Forwarding Phone Numbers
–The only difference is that your new world Call Forwarding number will be accessible locally in the country you selected and that calls made to your new Call Forwarding number will ring to your existing phone. It is like having a local or in-country extension for your existing phone.
. Are there any special requirements for purchasing local or toll-free numbers?
– While the majority of phone numbers can be purchased without any special requirements, in some cases local authorities require additional information, such as proof of identity or a letter of intent. You can find detailed information about special requirements through our ‘View Rates’ page for the phone numbers that you wish to order.
. What is the difference between local and toll-free numbers?
–Local phone numbers are accessible from all of the phones in the local number’s country of origin as well as from all other countries. The cost of calling a local number for the caller is the same as calling any other local number in that country. On the other hand, toll-free numbers are free of charge to the caller, but only accessible from the phones in the county of its location. Typically toll-free numbers in one country are not accessible from other countries. In addition, toll-free numbers may not always be accessible from the mobile phones in that country or may be accessible at a higher rate per minute. Please see additional information on our View Rate page for the number that you wish to purchase.
. Do you provide any other types of phone numbers?
–In addition to local and toll-free numbers, we also have national or non-geographic numbers available in some countries. These numbers are very similar to local numbers in terms of accessibility and can be called locally from all phones in that country, but they do not belong to a particular city or geographic coverage area.
. Can I choose a particular number as a vanity phone number?
– Yes, we do offer vanity phone numbers (numbers that spell out words) for USA toll-free numbers at an additional $35 cost per number. Please contact our customer support team for special instructions.
. Can I transfer my current toll-free number to GlobalCallForwarding services?
–Yes! Transferring your USA toll-free number to GlobalCallForwarding.com is easy and can be completed in just a few days. Please contact our customer support team for details.
. What is the coverage area for toll-free numbers in the USA and Canada?

. How does your voice mail & voice mail to email feature work?
