What types of phone number can I get in British Virgin Islands?

Telappliant can supply national numbers in British Virgin Islands. Availability by area code is confirmed when we quote, because individual number ranges can sell out or be reserved by the local regulator.

How many calls can I take at the same time on a British Virgin Islands number?

Concurrency comes from the channels on your VoIP account, not from the number itself. Every account starts with 2 channels, which means 2 simultaneous calls across all your numbers. Extra channels are added at £5 each, so a 10-person support team taking 6 calls at once would need 6 channels. Numbers themselves are unlimited in quantity - you only pay for the concurrency you need.

Can I port my existing British Virgin Islands number to Telappliant?

Number portability isn't available in British Virgin Islands through our carriers, so an existing number can't be transferred. The usual approach is to take a new British Virgin Islands number and forward your old line to it during the changeover.

Can I send and receive SMS on a British Virgin Islands number?

Two-way SMS isn't available on British Virgin Islands numbers through our carriers - these are voice numbers. If you need texting into British Virgin Islands, ask us about messaging routes as a separate service.

Can a British Virgin Islands number be used to call emergency services?

British Virgin Islands numbers don't carry emergency calling, so they must not be relied on as the only phone line at a site. Keep a local line or mobile available for emergency calls.

What do I need to provide to activate a British Virgin Islands number?

Most countries require proof of identity for the account holder and, for local numbers, an address - sometimes one within the number's area. Any rules specific to British Virgin Islands are listed in the service restrictions on this page. Telappliant handles the carrier-side paperwork; we'll ask you only for what the regulator requires.
