What is the difference between a free virtual phone number and a free temporary phone number?
These numbers are also known as DIDs (direct inward dialling), which refers to a phone number that does not have a direct connection to a phone line. In most cases, they were used to redirect an incoming call to a different phone number. A virtual phone number like this serves as a bridge between traditional phone calls and VoIP calls (Voice Over IP).
A virtual phone number is sometimes known as a phoney phone number, a temporary phone number, or a throwaway phone number.
