What is a non-geographic number?
A non-geographic number, sometimes known as a virtual number, is a telephone number associated with a country, but not to any single geographic location within that country. When someone dials a non-geographic number, the caller is automatically transferred to the subscribers telephone handset.
There are various types of non-geographic numbers, based on the method of billing. The caller can pay all charges, the caller party can pay all charges, or the charges can be shared.
The system can provide the user with statistical data concerning the number of calls received in a billing period, where the calls have originated, the average call duration and even the average number of rings that occur prior to answering. Non-geographic numbers are especially convenient for travellers. When used with a mobile, a non-geographic number can provide unlimited roaming capability within the country where the number is assigned.
