A local virtual number is a business number that is not linked to a physical address. For incoming calls only, it replaces the incumbent costs of a physical place of business and the charges of a traditional PSTN line. Using a local number for your business provides a professional and credible image without the cost.
Consumers have an increasing preference for interacting within their local communities, shopping at their local businesses and using local products whenever possible. A local virtual number helps you operate and advertise as a local business anywhere in Australia - reaching and attracting customers with a more trusted local brand. Want to expand into a new local market? Simply add more local numbers to your Virtual Headquarters service anytime for as little as $5/month* for each additional number. In today's business environment you have to be flexible. You have to be agile. You have to be versatile. Virtual local phone numbers allow you the freedom of local connectivity - without the price of physical structures.

What's the Virtual Headquarters difference? - Most Australia-wide local call rate or Australia-wide toll=free number providers will provide you with a direct inward dialling (DID) or access number to divert to an answering point – such as your mobile or local number. They will typically charge a monthly rental fee, PLUS monthly inbound calls charges per minute. Depending upon your inbound call volumes you could end up paying a significant amount of money per month for your service. Most providers have a minimum contract term of 12 months, with hefty set up and cancellation fees.
Compare this to purchasing your 1300 number or 1800 number from Virtual Headquarters. You pay us a capped monthly fee of just $20 per month for your number, with UNLIMITED inbound calls included. Say for example your existing Australia-wide local toll or toll free number monthly costs are around a conservative $100 per month. With Virtual Headquarters, this would be capped at $20 per month*, so the $80 saving can be applied towards the monthly subscription of one of our very economical live or automated call answering services. eg. Call Divert, MessageExpress, Virtual Receptionist, MyAssistant/MyDiary.
With Virtual Headquarters, you get so much more value for your money. The value just grows exponentially as your inbound call volumes grow. Better still, we offer a month to month service, and you can cancel anytime. You can change how your business calls are managed in an instant, and there are no additional fees for changing your routing options. It just makes better business sense to get 1300 numbers or 1800 numbers combined with a call answering service to help your business grow.

The difference relates to the cost of the call for the caller and the business that owns the number. When calling a 1800 number from a landline, the calls are free for the caller. When calling a 1300 number from a landline, calls are charged the same rate as a local call for the caller. Callers using a mobile phone may still be charged for the call determined by their service provider.
