Keep in mind though that most of these services are not compatible with receiving SMS verification. If you only need this, check out SMS Man for alternate options.

Do note that several of these services are VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol), and that can require some outside hardware/set-up requirements and that… can always be tricky. You can check out our soft-guide that explains the basics of VoIP .

For now, Let’s take a look at the services that offer international phone numbers for a price.

OpenPhone

OpenPhone is an iOS and Android smartphone app that gives entrepreneurs a local or toll-free phone number for their business right on top of their existing mobile devices.

The dedicated business phone number can be used for talking and texting customers. Your OpenPhone number works anywhere you have Internet.

With OpenPhone, you can fully separate your business and personal communications and clearly see when calls are for your business so you can respond appropriately.

You can set your business hours so you’re not getting constant calls when you’re done working. OpenPhone lets you record a voicemail greeting for your business to make it look more professional.

You can choose among thousands of local US, Canadian and toll-free numbers. If you already have an existing phone number, OpenPhone can port the number over, taking care of the logistics for you.

Some of the app features also include for a flat, no-contract monthly price:

  • Distinguish between business and personal calls
  • Voicemail with transcription
  • Set business hours to control when you receive calls or go on “Do Not Disturb”
  • Share responsibility for your OpenPhone number with a partner or team to team up on responding to calls and texts
  • Dedicated business address book to separate client information from personal contacts

Skype

If you are looking to stick to something you already understand, then just get a number through Skype.

Doing so will get you an international phone number with ease, and the prices are quite good. There are still international rates to think about, but depending on your usage it shouldn’t be that expensive.

Plus, using Skype gives you the benefit of using it on virtually any device. The only real downside is the list of available countries is pretty short, but you can still get a USA phone number and also get local number for United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Virgin Islands, as well those of Asian countries.

Make sure to purchase credits so you make calls to landline and mobile number both.

800.com

Specializing in toll-free numbers, 800.com ensures each call is routed seamlessly, whether to a cell phone or a business landline. Fully compliant with FCC regulations, 800.com offers businesses a reliable solution to activate toll-free and vanity phone numbers.

Beyond basic call management, 800.com empowers employees with an integrated caller ID feature, allowing immediate recognition of incoming calls. Call recording features allow for performance tracking, fact verification, and categorising customer interactions. Moreover, a specialised voicemail-to-email feature ensures no important message slips through the cracks. With full Android, iPhone, and iPad support, you’re always connected wherever your business takes you.

Their pricing structure caters to various business needs. At $239/month, the’ Pro’ tier offers five toll-free numbers, with significant discounts for annual subscriptions. The ‘Unlimited’ and ‘Personal’ plans, priced at $59/month and $23/month respectively, are tailored for more specific requirements.

Businesses can also benefit from a free trial to gauge the platform’s potential. But here’s the clincher: with a 30-day money-back guarantee, 800.com ensures complete satisfaction, or you get your money back. Should you require assistance or have queries, their comprehensive support system is available through live chat, email, or phone.

Line2

Line2 is an app that gives you a USA phone number to be used on smartphones, tablets, PC/Mac and even smartwatches.

The service in itself is IP based that runs on cloud and works with internet. So if you have WiFi or mobile internet, you are all set to use it. Just download the app, select a number with area code, pay the fee and start receiving and making calls.

So far the service is like Skype, but you can also text someone and if you pay an additional amount, there are some business features like call screening, multiple lines and auto attendant that you may find useful to use. Prices are available on monthly and annual basis.

Line2 has apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, Windows, Apple Watch and FireOS.

Inperium Talk

Inperium Talk is a cloud phone system that provides top class solutions to your communication issues. It offers the necessary tools you need to run your business efficiently, improve communication, and enhance your sales process. These tools are:

  • Local and international phone numbers that give you the appearance of a local company even if you are calling from another region or country.
  • Toll free numbers – 800, 833, 833, 855, 866, 877, and 888.
  • An interactive voice response system that directs your calls to specialized teams.
  • Cold and warm transfers to enhance communication.
  • Detailed and easy to interpret visualisations charts and reports for analysing call statistics.
  • Voicemail messages that ensure you can attend to missed calls.
  • Automatic transcription of voice recordings, as well as easy sharing amongst colleagues.

What’s more? With Inperium Talk, you can separate personal calls from business calls. Also, you can place and receive calls from over 100 countries. You can access the service in several ways: via mobile apps on both iOS, and full-service web apps.

Additionally, companies don’t need yet another unlimited phone plan, so they only pay for what their business uses. You can give each employee a number for $5 per month, and you can choose a plan with a company-wide base fee no matter how many users are on your plan.

Finally, Inperium Talk charges nothing for the first 14 days. From then onwards you can pick any plan. Of course, the amount you pay depends on the plan you pick.

Sonetel

Sonetel offers virtual phone numbers in various countries.

Simply signup to get two test numbers for a free test drive of 3-5 days. You will notice that while Skype routes all the calls through VoIP, Sonetel routes all the calls via traditional line. So you basically make calls via their iOS or Android app, but receive calls through your traditional landline or mobile phone, no internet required.

All the incoming and outgoing calls work on monthly prepaid basis through 3D secure VISA or Mastercards. Sonetel customers also have the option to record all incoming and outgoing calls for free by configuring it through their dashboard.

Just note that these phone numbers cannot receive any type of automated or verification SMS or calls from Banking services or Shopping sites or Social media sites or any third party website as their virtual numbers and their use is forbidden for identity verification. Plot twist?

eReceptionist

eReceptionist is very specifically for businesses. This is strictly for businesses.

You can get a USA, UK, China, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain local phone number for few cents a day. The line will get forwarded to your landline or mobile number.

After that you can set a menu for extension or forward it to a voicemail if you want. You don’t need an internet connection or an app, but an active 10-digit phone number to receive/make calls.

Each plan has a 30 days money back guarantee. There are a tonne of other features like call recording, live-receptionist, voicemail transcriptions, call scheduler, call reporting and etc.

Vonage

Vonage is another great service that offers phone numbers and dialing plans both.

Simply reserve a phone number for yourself and then pick a plan and you are off to a great start. Vonage works in every part of the world but if you don’t want their device, then you can use their app and get a home no for your mobile.

It offers a smart way to pay your home bill .

CallCentric

CallCentric is one of the easiest and most popular phone services out there. One of the big benefits of CallCentric is the ability to get a phone number from any country, not just the USA/UK/AU but others also. CallCentric is also free to use when calling other CallCentric or VoIP services.

If you need to call other services, such as landlines, CallCentric offers tonnes of plans, so you shouldn’t have to worry about spending too little or too much. We tried this service out by purchasing their free phone number and then without adding any funds to our account, called on it.

We got a US accent lady saying ‘the number you are dialing is currently unavailable’ – then we checked the dashboard and saw that our purchased number had indeed received the call from the one we were dialing from (so proves that the caller ID works as well as the free phone number purchase) but because we had not setup call forwarding and/or added funds to our account, we had not been able to get ourselves on the phone… Am I making sense?

The point is, if you want to use this service to set up PayPal; first add funds via Credit Card and set up call forwarding, which is a ‘free add-on’. Then give it another go and when you see your phone ring (meaning your call is being forwarded successfully) then go ahead and use it for PayPal.

TollFreeForwarding

TollFree Forwarding is another one of the great services for simple VoIP.

Like CallCentric, this service is also pretty affordable. The cheapest plan is $15 for a starter account. But, users do get to get a number from a huge list of countries, and you could also get a toll free number for US and Canada numbers, which is great for business.

Ooma

Odd name I know, but does the job well. Ooma can get a US phone number for a price. All you need to do is register your Ooma device online and you will get to pick a new phone number in any area code in the USA (except Alaska).

Remember that Ooma is a standalone device and has no need of a computer system and hence as such doesn’t require a software (or headset/earphones with mic) to operate. It simply replaces the current phone service you use. Unless you need to add a fresh piece of equipment, then it won’t be replacing anything but adding a new item to your decor. Note that the device is run on an internet connection, be it cable, DSL or fiber-optic.

As an honoury mention, I’d like to say that MagicJack is also a very promising solution but do see how it works and/or if its something that fixes your situation to make international calls.

That’s our list of great services to get USA phone numbers. Now its your turn, tell us which service you use and why.

    Xen Voice is one such company who deserves to be in the list of top 10 VoIP providers for business. From startups to large enterprises, their cloud phone solutions meet the needs of any type of business in any industry.And their plan starts as low as $4.99/Month which is unique in market.

  6. Thanks Tariq for your input but these options are vetted services and are NOT giving a free US number. With these, you can get US and European number according to the plan purchased. Moreover, you should look at my post on getting an international SIM card to avoid roaming charges here: https://tech-vise.com/best-international-sim-card-services/ I haven’t tested out google voice number yet, will take a look.
