A virtual business number works on the mobile (and desktop!) you already use. Say goodbye to stuffed pockets or SIM-swapping with Rinkel’s virtual business landlines.
Professional, easy to use and ready to go in minutes.
A virtual phone number is a business number that isn't tied to a physical phone line or SIM card. Instead, it routes calls through the internet (cloud) to whichever device you choose — your mobile, laptop or tablet.
Unlike a traditional landline, a virtual number travels with you. One number, any device, anywhere.
Most virtual numbers run on VoIP (Voice over IP), which means call quality depends on your internet connection. Rinkel works differently: calls on mobile use the GSM network — the same network your regular calls run on
If you’re looking for a business line that works on mobile, a virtual telephone number is the way to go.
A virtual number avoids the need for multiple numbers or SIM cards, and allows you to seamlessly manage your business calls from the phone you already use. Plus, you can also use it on desktop.
Having a dedicated line for clients to reach you offers a more professional experience—both for them and you. You know who’s calling your business line, and they’re not met with a “Uh, who’s this?”
Rinkel’s virtual business lines use your mobile network, so you’re not relying on your internet connection for business calls. This means more reliable, higher-quality calls—whether you’re in central Soho or out in the sticks.
Founded by two tech nerds who grew tired of complicated telecom systems for small businesses (and the hidden fees that come with them), Rinkel provides a no-fuss, no-stress experience.
Over 15,000 customers rate Rinkel at a 9.2/10 on average. Come find out why.

Smart and stylish solution! I've tried a few calling apps, but this one hits the sweet spot between functionality and good design. Worth every penny.
Timothy HunterWay more professional than what I had before. I needed a UK number to appeal to UK clients and this app helped me with that main problem I had.. I use the personalised voice mail feature on the weekends which I recommend for anyone that needs the break like me :P
Jessie RosyLiterally had my business number set up in minutes. So happy to finally find an app for where I'm at with my business atm, everything else on the market was way too expensive or complicated.
Lizzie KaraNo fluff, no confusing menus, just a simple app. Honestly one of the best designed small business tools I’ve found.
Reey 98A virtual phone number is a number that isn't tied to a physical line or device. It can be managed on multiple devices, such as your mobile or laptop. Most virtual numbers operate using VoIP technology, which relies on a steady internet connection. Rinkel virtual numbers offer the same advantages, but operate using your mobile network — which is typically more stable.
To get a virtual phone number in the UK, choose a provider and sign up online. With Rinkel, the process takes three steps: choose your number (regional or national), pick your plan, and you'll be verified and up and running in minutes. No new SIM or hardware needed.
Rinkel uses the mobile network (GSM) for calls on mobile, not VoIP. This means your call quality doesn't depend on your Wi-Fi or internet connection. When making calls via the Rinkel webphone on desktop, those calls do use an internet connection.

Yes. Virtual phone numbers from established providers like Rinkel are safe to use for business. Rinkel is a regulated telecoms provider based in the Netherlands, serving 15,000+ customers across Europe. Calls on the Rinkel mobile app use your regular mobile network — the same network you use for all your other calls.
The main limitation is that virtual numbers can't receive SMS. For verification purposes (such as WhatsApp Business), you'll use the voice call option instead. Otherwise, a virtual number works just like a regular business landline — for less.
Rinkel is a virtual business phone service that forwards calls from your business landline number to your mobile phone. You can select a business number from Rinkel’s local and national numbers, or port your existing number over to use with Rinkel.
