Call Forwarding local ring tones and fax to email Features

You can change the ringtone by logging into your online control panel to change the ringtone to Spain, which will change the default setting and play a Spain ringtone to the callers instead of the USA ringtone.

Local Ring Tones

You can give a truly local calling experience to your callers by selecting a matching ringtone from your settings.

By default, your callers will hear the ringtone of your phone number that is set to receive calls from your Toll-Free or Local number.

For example, if your ring-to phone number is in the USA (that’s the number you want your calls forwarded to) and you have a Spain Toll Free or Local Number, your callers that dial your Spain number will hear the USA ringtone by default.

However, you can change the ringtone by logging into your online control panel to change the ringtone to Spain, which will change the default setting and play a Spain ringtone to the callers instead of the USA ringtone.

Fax to Email

When activated, this feature will allow you to use your Toll-Free number as a fax and will forward all incoming fax messages as an image file to your pre-determined email address. Please note that our Local Numbers are currently NOT fully compatible with this feature and may not receive faxes. Therefore, we recommend NOT using the Local Numbers with this feature and instead of trying the Toll-Free numbers.

How to use your Call Forwarding Number

How to use your Global Call Forwarding Number(s)

Make sure to let your Toll Free or Local Number(s) be known by the people or institutions that will use them to reach you. In other words, after your account is activated and you receive your new virtual number, you would need to distribute it or advertise the number so your callers would be able to reach you at the ‘ring to’ number you specified.

Bear in mind that while the Local Numbers can be dialed from any country in the world, Toll Free Numbers will only work when dialed from the respective country.

For example a UK Toll Free Number can only be dialed from the UK while a UK Local Number can be dialed from the UK, China, Germany, Bahrain or any other country in the world.

When your virtual number is dialed, our system will instantly forward the call to your ring-to phone number (this will be the phone number you assigned for incoming calls to be forwarded to).

One of our customers asked if providing a local phone number would really help their sales. The market services in the UK and other countries but are located in Canada.

We suggested they get a local UK number in a city that would be most convenient for their UK customers. They decided on a London number since that would be central and a reasonable number to offer.

Since then we hear that the number now gets regular callers that are happy to call the UK local number and are pleased with the company for providing it. Many new UK callers feel comfortable calling the UK number and would not have called Canada directly because of international call costs.
