Why Local Numbers Matter
Customers are 4x more likely to answer calls from local numbers than foreign or unknown numbers.
When you call a prospect in Germany from a US number, they see an unfamiliar country code and hesitate. When you call from a local German number, you're a trusted local business.
International phone numbers let you:
- Build trust before the conversation starts
- Increase pickup rates dramatically
- Provide local customer support without local staff
- Expand into new markets instantly
- Save on international calling costs

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a virtual phone number?
A virtual phone number is a telephone number that isn't tied to a specific phone line or physical location. Calls to virtual numbers are routed over the internet to your contact center agents anywhere in the world. This allows you to have local numbers in multiple countries without physical offices.
How quickly can I get an international phone number?
Most numbers can be activated instantly through our platform. Some countries have regulatory requirements that require address verification or business documentation, which typically takes 1-2 business days. We'll guide you through any requirements during the ordering process.
Do I need a physical address in each country?
Requirements vary by country. Many countries allow number provisioning without a local address. Some countries (like Germany, France, and others) require proof of a local address or business registration. We can help you understand the requirements for each country you're interested in.
Can I port my existing international numbers to Platform28?
Yes, we support number porting in most countries where we offer service. The porting process typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on the country and carrier. During the transition, we ensure no interruption to your service.
What's the difference between local and toll-free numbers?
Local numbers display a geographic area code (like a city) and calls are charged at local rates for the caller. Toll-free numbers are free for callers to dial, with the business paying for incoming calls. Local numbers typically have higher answer rates, while toll-free numbers remove cost barriers for customers.
Can I use the same number for voice and SMS?
In many countries, yes. Mobile-type numbers typically support both voice and SMS. Availability varies by country and number type. Our platform clearly shows which capabilities each number supports before you purchase.
How does pricing work for international numbers?
Pricing includes a monthly fee per number plus per-minute charges for calls. Rates vary by country and number type. Toll-free numbers typically have higher per-minute costs since the business pays for incoming calls. Contact us for detailed pricing for specific countries.
What happens if a country isn't listed?
We're constantly expanding our coverage. If you need numbers in a country not currently listed, contact us. We may be able to provision numbers through our carrier network or add the country to our roadmap based on demand.
