What is a virtual number?
Mobile 097 numbers
A mobile 097 number (also known as a virtual phone number or an M2M number) is a unique type of number. It looks like a business number with an area code, but it’s not. 097 numbers are the modern alternative to 06 numbers, designed specifically for electronic communication services and devices.

Why choose a 097 number?
Mobile M2M numbers are the ‘secret language’ between devices, without the need for voice calls. In the past, 06 numbers were used for this, but the government has ruled that they can no longer be used for electronic communication due to a shortage. That’s why virtual numbers like 097 are a smart solution for mobile business use. Did you know that 91% of all 06 numbers are still being used for electronic communication?
