what is a virtual number and how does it work?

A virtual number is a phone number that works fully online. You can use the same number on multiple devices: mobile, laptop or desk phone, as long as there’s an internet connection.

At Rinkel, your connection runs via VoIP. Is the mobile signal a bit weak? Then we automatically switch to your provider’s network. This way, you stay stable and reliably reachable, better than with standard VoIP solutions.

You manage your virtual number easily in the Rinkel app or portal and decide for yourself how you're reachable. Your caller won’t notice a thing — they call a landline number, and you pick up wherever it suits you best.
