Add a virtual number to your account. Virtual numbers let you set up another phone number for your current phone line. You can select a phone number in another area code. This way if you have family out of state you can set up a phone number in their area so they wont incur long distance fees when they call you.

Add a Toll Free Number

Need a toll free number? This is where you can add one to your account. Calls out will still go out over your current number, but incoming calls will be free to whoever is calling it from anywhere in the US and Canada. Incoming calls will be billed to your account at a rate of $0.04 per minute.
