Porting typically completes in 1-5 business days with no port-in fees charged. Once ported, your familiar Canadian number transforms into a virtual number with full Tossable Digits features—forward calls anywhere globally, access voicemail online, receive SMS via email, and utilize all 60+ capabilities.

Visit TossableDigits.com for current pricing details and plan comparisons tailored to your specific communication needs.
Can I use a Canadian virtual number for business SMS?
Yes, with important distinctions based on number type. Canadian toll-free numbers (1-800, 1-888, 1-877, etc.) from Tossable Digits support full business SMS capabilities—perfect for appointment reminders, order confirmations, customer notifications, and transactional messaging. However, Canadian local numbers are restricted to person-to-person messaging only, following Canadian telecommunications regulations designed to prevent spam. If your business requires promotional or automated SMS messaging to Canadian customers, select a Tossable Digits toll-free number which includes business SMS alongside all other features like IVR menus, call recording, and unlimited voicemail. This makes toll-free numbers ideal for customer service departments, e-commerce operations, and any business requiring two-way text communication.
Will my Canadian virtual number work if I'm traveling internationally?
Absolutely. Tossable Digits virtual numbers are designed for global mobility—your Canadian number works regardless of your physical location. Forward incoming calls to any phone worldwide, including international SIM cards, hotel phones, or local numbers in your travel destination. Callers in Canada dial your familiar Canadian number while you answer on whatever device is convenient, and they never know you've left the country. Access voicemail through our website or mobile app from anywhere with internet connectivity. Receive SMS messages via email forwarding. This makes Tossable Digits ideal for Canadian expats, digital nomads, international business travelers, and snowbirds splitting time between Canada and warmer climates without maintaining expensive year-round carrier plans.
How quickly can I activate a Canadian virtual number?
Activation is instant for numbers already in Tossable Digits' inventory. Browse millions of available Canadian numbers, select your preferred area code and combination, complete the simple registration process, and your number activates immediately—often within minutes. You can start receiving calls and texts right away, configure call forwarding to your existing phone, set up voicemail greetings, and access all features through our web portal or mobile app. For ported numbers (bringing your existing number from Rogers, Bell, Telus, etc.), the process takes 1-5 business days due to carrier coordination requirements. Either way, there's no complex provisioning, no hardware installation, and no technical expertise required—just fast, straightforward activation.
