01What it is

What is a France virtual phone number?

A France virtual phone number is a genuine +33 number hosted in the cloud rather than tied to a SIM or a desk phone in a single town. Calls to it travel over the internet to wherever your team works — a mobile, softphone, PBX or contact centre — so a customer in Paris or Lyon reaches an ordinary French number while the call follows you anywhere. It looks entirely local to the people calling; only the routing behind it is in the cloud.
