The international 800 number is a universal international freephone number (UIFN) issued by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). UIFN uses the ITU country code 800 to ensure that only the international access code and the 8-digit number need to be dialled, irrespective of the country from where the call is originating. There are about 30 countries in the world that are presently participating in the UIFN program.

There used to be a time when international business was done only by big multinational companies. Well, not anymore. With advances in technology and with the use of international 800 numbers, small scale companies as well as individuals can be connected to the opposite end of the world. Now, small businesses are connected internationally and can process orders from other countries.

With increasing connectivity comes a tremendous impact on the supply-demand chain. This has a positive effect on prices - which tend to fall, thus making products and services more affordable. What's more, you don't need to pay an arm and a leg to buy an international 800 number.

An international 800 number makes it possible for you to receive a call from a customer from the other side of the world, say Japan, even when you are in Chicago riding on an elevator. The sound quality is crystal clear, the prices very affordable. Also, you do not need to get in line to have your account activated. The process is simple and can be done almost instantly.

This virtual phone provides you with several great benefits - real-time operation ability, excellent connectivity, and the benefit of having many phones reaching your international 800 number from across the globe. What you will just need is to concentrate on the countries where you want to market your products and services.

It does not matter in which country you are taking the call, the international toll free number remains the same. There is no necessity to add on extra phone lines or any other expensive equipment to support the number. You can also make use of this number to make outgoing calls, anywhere in the world.
