Virtual Sim Hosting

Virtual numbers are provided by networks and appear to be regular mobile numbers, however all these numbers are capable of is receiving text messages.

Roaming (Foreign SIM's)

One of the main advantages of the virtual hosted SIM service apart from being able to choose your own mobile number, is the ability to host foreign SIM's. These SIM's roam on a UK network but allow the provision of a mobile number that appears local to your required country.

Charges

Hosting charges can be found under the prices section of the main menu, in addition to these charges the customer is responsible for all ongoing service charges (and if relevant message charges) for the SIM that are charged by the supplying network.

The virtual numbers only exist within the database of the network that provides them, when a text message is sent to one of these numbers the network forwards it to one of our application servers, from here the incoming message is either processed or delivered to the client.

Incoming Messages can be processed for you using our Auto Responder service, this includes optionally delivering to your application by email or HTTP, or delivered straight to your application using SMPP.
