Using a virtual number abroad: saving on roaming

In the era of globalization, traveling has become an integral part of our lives. Whether it is a business trip, a vacation or just a desire to see the world, many of us face the problem of high mobile communication costs abroad. Roaming rates are often exorbitant, and every minute of conversation or sent message can cost a fortune. Fortunately, there is a simple and effective solution to this problem - using a virtual number.

What is a virtual number from Grizzly SMS?

A virtual number is a temporary phone number that is not tied to your physical SIM card. It works just like a regular number, but uses cloud technology instead of a physical device. This means you can receive calls and messages, as well as make outgoing calls, from anywhere in the world where you have access to the Internet.

How does a virtual number work abroad?

The principle of operation of a virtual number is very simple. Instead of connecting to the local operator network, you use Wi-Fi or mobile Internet to connect to your virtual number. Incoming calls and messages are redirected to your device via the Internet, and outgoing calls are made through special applications or web interfaces.

This allows you to significantly reduce your mobile communication costs, since you only pay for Internet traffic, and not for expensive roaming services. In addition, many virtual number providers offer favorable rates for international calls and messages, which makes them even more attractive to travelers.

 

Benefits of using a virtual number abroad

1. Saving money

As mentioned above, the main advantage of using a virtual number is significant savings on roaming. Instead of paying huge amounts for every minute of conversation or message, you only pay for Internet traffic, which is usually much cheaper.

2. Convenience

You no longer need to look for a local SIM card or sign a contract with a local operator. All you need is an Internet connection. You can easily manage your virtual number through the application or website, change settings, top up your balance and control expenses.

3. Flexibility

You can choose any number from many countries, which is especially convenient if you plan to visit several countries in one trip. For example, if you are traveling to Europe, you can purchase a virtual number of one of the European countries and use it wherever there is Internet.

4. Security

Using a virtual number helps protect your personal information. Since it is not tied to your real phone, you can safely communicate with new people, register on sites and participate in various events without fear that someone will gain access to your personal data.

5. Always available

Even if you do not have access to the Internet, you will always be able to receive important messages and notifications thanks to the function of forwarding calls and messages to your main number or email.

How to choose a virtual number with Grizzly SMS?

When choosing a virtual number, it is important to consider the following factors:

• Rates: Make sure the provider you choose offers good rates for international calls and messages.
• Call quality: Check reviews from other users to make sure the call quality meets your expectations.
• Support: Look for 24/7 customer support to help you if you have any issues.
• Features: Some providers offer additional features such as voicemail, conference calls, and other useful options.

How to get a virtual number

Let's try to understand in more detail how to complete the task. The process can be divided into two parts - registration and purchase of a virtual number, after which you create a profile on a social network with it.

The instructions are as follows::

1. Go to the registration page. The standard method involves entering your email.

2. In the top menu we find a link to the section “Top up balance”.

3. We find ourselves on a page with the option to select a payment method. Click on the appropriate item and a window for entering the amount appears. Specify how much we want to transfer and click the "Pay" button. The commission amount is written in the description for each option.

4. Let's go to the store. First, select the country, then the service for registration. It is not necessary to look for the desired option from the list. It is enough to enter the name or part of it in the appropriate field. The purchased number is saved in the "Active numbers" section.

5. Let's proceed directly to registration in the social network. Enter the number that you purchased in the previous paragraph.
6. We will be asked to enter the last 4 digits of the number from which the call will come. There is an important point here - the virtual contact does not accept calls. To send an SMS, wait for the time suggested by the system.
7. When the report is complete, click the "Send SMS" button. To receive it, return to your personal account on the "Grizzly Sms" website. A notification should appear, go and copy the access code.
8. Insert the password, confirm. Now the page is created, you can start filling in your personal information.
