Activating a virtual number in Germany (+49)

On this page, we would like to inform you all about country phone numbers, what to consider, and why it's best to obtain your country numbers from us.

What types of phone numbers do we have?

Phone numbers can be categorized in various ways based on their format, purpose, and the type of service they provide. Here are some common types of phone numbers that we can suggest you:

National

Refer to various contexts depending on the field of interest, such as finance, statistics, or demographics. This includes standardized formats for telephone numbers within a country, which might vary in length and prefix depending on the country's telecommunications system.

Toll free

Numbers that start with specific prefixes (like 1-800, 1-888, etc.) where the business pays for the incoming call charges. Commonly utilized by businesses for customer service, providing a free calling option for customers.

Local

Local phone numbers are usually formatted with the area code followed by seven digits, and local dialing typically omits the area code within the same region. Typically refer to telephone numbers that are used within a specific geographic area or region.

Description

Local German numbers:

For local German numbers you always need a business address in the city where you want your phone number. We ask you for proof of your German address, such as an extract from the German trade register or a rental contract. If you have this, your German local number will be active the same day.

Toll free numbers:

For local German numbers you always need a business address in the city where you want your number. We ask you for proof of your German address, like an extract from the German trade register or a rental contract. If you have this, your German local number will be active the same day.

National German numbers:

  • National numbers in Germany have the area code 032.
    For these national numbers, just like for local numbers, you need a local business address in Germany. The reason that you need a local business address for both number series is that the German government (Bundesnetzagentur) wants to be able to send you a letter within Germany
    if there is something wrong with the telephone number. You must therefore always be locally reachable for the government.

  • We can also help you with a German business address, if you want to become seriously active in Germany, we will refer you to a local partner who can help you with an address and setting up a company in Germany.

  • What is allowed is that you open a free phone number in Germany. Potential customers on the German market can then call you for free.
    Incoming calls are forwarded to your branch in the Netherlands or wherever you want. This way you have a German number with a service-oriented, customer-friendly appearance and you can serve all of Germany immediately!

  • If you do not expect thousands of calls per month at once, this is the most advantageous solution. You will then have a reliable image in Germany, customers in Germany can call you at a free rate and if you see
    that Germany is successful for you, you can always open a local address
    with a local telephone number in Germany.

Frequently asked questions:

A foreign phone number and a phone number in your home country to which we can forward your callers.

This varies from country to country. Some countries require a local business address, others do not.

You can choose a local international number, a national international number or a toll-free international number, depending on what is included in the country's legal numbering plan.

We pay foreign operators a so-called interconnection and/or transit charge. This is the cost of transporting traffic from the foreign country to the local country. Expect to pay 5-15 cents per minute and any local surcharges for your international number.

Yes, you can. We can transfer to your current number from the switchboard or provide new phones at your current location or abroad.

The caller will not. This is why many companies have a customer service centre in another country. Or do not open their own physical offices in all countries.

We can play a beep or a message that says "United States" so you know it is a company calling from that country.
