What is a Local Area Number/ Out of Area Number/ Virtual Number?

Local Area/ Out of Area/ Virtual Numbers provide you with a telephone number without having a physical telephone line. For example, you are based in Birmingham on an 0121 code and you want to give the image of also having a London office - we can provide an 020 number that is directed through to your Birmingham office without the need for London premises.
