Receive calls with phone numbers from over 86 countries, without being physically located there

Expanding internationally no longer requires opening offices or being physically present in each country. Thanks to virtual telephony and geographic numbering, businesses can now receive calls from multiple countries while operating from a single location.

On Hivoox, international phone number services are offered by independent telecom providers through the marketplace. These services allow businesses to obtain fixed, mobile, fax, or toll-free numbers from more than 86 countries, depending on availability and local regulations.

Hivoox does not operate telecom networks directly. It acts as a professional platform that connects businesses with specialized providers offering international numbering and VoIP services.

What is a geographic phone number?

A geographic phone number is associated with a specific country, city, or region. From the caller’s perspective, it appears as a local number, even if the business receiving the call is located abroad.

With IP telephony, these numbers are not tied to a physical location. Calls can be received anywhere in the world using an internet connection or a call forwarding destination.

How does receiving calls from abroad work?

To receive calls on international phone numbers available on Hivoox, you only need one of the following:

• A stable internet connection
• A SIP-compatible device such as an IP phone, softphone, or smartphone app

Alternatively, calls can be forwarded to a regular fixed or mobile phone number. In this case, no VoIP equipment is required.

This flexibility allows businesses to use international numbers without changing their existing setup.

Your phone as a virtual international office

With geographic phone numbers, your phone system becomes a virtual office that spans multiple countries.

You can:

• Receive calls from several countries on a single device
• Manage multiple international numbers simultaneously
• Answer calls as if you were locally based in each country

In many cases, outgoing calls can also be made using these numbers, allowing your caller ID to appear as a local number in the selected country.

Benefits for businesses and professionals

International phone numbers offer several strategic advantages:

• Rapid international presence without physical relocation
• Lower communication costs compared to traditional international calls
• Local call rates for customers and partners
• Centralized call management
• Improved credibility and trust in foreign markets

This solution is commonly used by international companies, e-commerce businesses, consultants, service providers, and remote teams.

Advanced telephony features

Depending on the provider, international numbering services available on Hivoox may include advanced features such as:

• Voicemail
• Call forwarding
• Call recording
• Music on hold
• Automated attendants (IVR)
• Call routing and queues

These features help deliver a professional call experience similar to that of a local office.
