What is a virtual phone number?
A virtual phone number is a phone number that is not tied to a specific physical handset, SIM card, or office phone. Incoming calls and texts can be routed to an existing phone or other supported destination. Virtual numbers can support privacy, local presence, business communications, call tracking, travel, and work-life separation while providing features such as voicemail, SMS, IVR, call screening, and caller ID control.
Can I use a virtual phone number on my existing phone?
Yes. Tossable Digits forwards calls and texts to an existing phone, including a mobile phone or landline, so you do not need to carry a second handset. You can use the virtual number for calls, messages, voicemail, and other supported features while keeping your personal number separate. Forwarding settings can be changed as your communication needs evolve.
Do I need a second phone or special hardware?
No. The service is designed to work with an existing phone and does not require a second device, SIM card, PBX equipment, or dedicated hardware. Depending on the features you use, you can manage communications through your current phone, the mobile app, the website, or email-based voicemail access.
Can I port my existing phone number?
Yes. Tossable Digits accepts ported numbers from virtually any US or Canadian carrier, including many major carriers, Google Voice, Vonage, and MVNOs. Porting in is available without a porting-in fee. After the number is transferred, it can use virtual features such as forwarding, voicemail, SMS, call recording, and number parking.
