Spirius' Virtual Number and Extended Virtual Number services provide you with cost-effective tools that improve your SMS communication with recipients.
Virtual Number
With a Virtual Number, you get a number that allows you to receive messages from customers who reply to your mobile campaigns. You can also send SMS directly from a mobile phone to your application. Spirius has long offered Swedish Virtual Numbers, but since 2017, we have expanded the number of countries with their own Virtual Numbers to 48. Using a local number where the service is active is both more professional and more cost-effective for replies. Especially useful when your customers are in multiple markets.
Extended Virtual Number
An additional feature is the Extended Virtual Number, which is currently only available in Sweden. This service allows you to add up to 4 digits to the number, which in turn gives you up to ten thousand unique addresses. This is a great feature if, for example, a company has a hundred employees who all want to send SMS via their computers and receive SMS replies back to their computers.
A Virtual Number allows your customers to reply to your SMS campaigns, with the response sent directly back to your system or application via the Spirius API.
A virtual number looks just like a standard Swedish mobile number (9 digits long, starting with "07"). It is also both easier to set up and significantly cheaper than obtaining a short code.
Yes, through our Extended Virtual Numbers service. These are extra-long numbers of up to 13 digits. The extended format means that each individual Extended Virtual Number gives you access to a full 10,000 unique sub-numbers! It is the perfect solution for companies that need to link unique numbers to specific customers, cases, or campaigns.
