A second number, on the phone you already carry
A real Canadian number, with no SIM and no second device. It rings on your mobile, and it goes quiet at night if you say so.
There is nothing virtual about a virtual number except the absence of a wire. It is an ordinary phone number: it rings, it takes texts, and it shows up on your customer’s screen like any other. What differs is that it belongs to no device. It lives in an account, and you decide where it rings.
That is what makes it useful when you would rather not hand out your personal number, when you work from a different city than your customers, or when you simply want work calls to stop at 9pm without carrying a second phone.
What you get
The area code you want
A number in your customers’ region, even if you do not live there. People call back an area code they recognise.
On your current phone
No SIM, no second device. The number rings in the app or forwards to your mobile, your choice.
Calls and texts
The same line does both, and keeps the history in one place.
Business hours
The line goes quiet outside your hours, and voicemail reaches you transcribed the next morning rather than mid-evening.
An agent as backup
When you cannot answer, a voice agent takes the request instead of letting it ring out.
More than one number
An extra number costs $5 a month for the company, not per person. Enough to keep two activities apart on one phone.
What to know first
This is not a burner
It is a work line you keep, that you can port elsewhere, and that belongs to your business rather than to an app.
This is not call forwarding
Forwarding sends the call somewhere else and stops there. This line has its own hours, voicemail, texts and history.
Coverage is Canadian
The numbers on offer are Canadian. If what you need is a local presence in the United States or in Europe, something else will serve you better.
What it costs
From $19 per user per month billed annually, or $24 with no commitment. Free 14-day trial. The first number is included in the plan. A card is required at signup, nothing is charged before the trial ends.
The plans in detailFrequently asked questions
Do I need a second SIM?
No. The number lives in your Callizy account and rings in the app, or forwards to any mobile number you choose.
Does my personal number stay hidden?
Yes. The virtual number is what shows on the other end, for calls and for texts.
Can I choose the area code?
Yes, among the Canadian area codes available. Free numbers are listed per area code, with the date they were checked.
Can I send texts?
Yes, from a local number, both ways, with the history kept beside the calls.
What happens if I leave?
You can port the number to another provider. It belongs to your business, not to Callizy.
Does it work abroad?
The app works anywhere you have a connection. The numbers on offer are Canadian.
