This is where virtual numbers step onto the scene and offer quite a unique variation on traditional phone numbers. Although this is a pretty standard request and nothing at all out of the ordinary, there may be times you want to use an alternative number, one that isn’t tied to or linked to any traditional service. Messaging services like WhatsApp, Signal, Line, Viber, Telegram, and a dozen or so more, all require a mobile number to set them up on your device.
