CA Companies with Virtual Phone Lines Not Feeling Tourism Decrease

Many Virtual Phone Line customers are small businesses, government and non-profit organizations and other groups in Canada who want a virtual and local presence in different areas of the world. This is expecially important to those in the Canadian tourism industry. While many tourism agencies and companies are feeling the economic crunch, others who have Virtual Phone Lines are not.

"Tourism spending fell 2.9 percent during the past four quarters, the longest downturn since the early 1990s," the report from the Statistics Canada Agency said.

Here is an example of how a current SMB in tourism and hospitality is beating this:

A tourism agency who focuses on French, Spanish and Portuguese clientele for travel, signed up on Virtual Phone Line last year and bought Virtual Phone Lines (DIDs, direct inward dialing, origination, phone numbers) from Paris, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Madrid, Kenya, and Quebec City. They added these numbers to their website, email signatures and business cards.

People living in those areas of the world use their cell phone, landline or any voice software to dial the local phone number (Virtual Phone Line purchased by the agency) and it rings where the tourism agency chooses for it to ring. They are BOOKED!! And are creating a study to decide which other cities in the world go get a local number from.

Virtual Phone Line Offers SMS on Special Numbers

Super Technologies, Inc.'s President and CTO invented the concept of Virtual Phone Line (Virtualphoneline) in 1999. The technology was a world communications changemaker with its potential to provide virtual presence in many geographical areas of the world. Today, the company announced new SMS technology integration with "VPL." Users may change the call forwarding, also known as "ringto," of their Virtual Phone Lines via SMS with their cell phone. They may also activate to receive SMS on a Virtual Phone Line. Such a feature empowers users with more flexibility in a mobile world.



Cell phones purchases have reached over 1 billion units in 2009. In most areas of the world, SMS service is affordable and a commonly used feature of cellular service. ITU's ICT statistics show SMS use growing 3.3% yearly. More people now have a mobile phone than an Internet-connected PC in the United States and globally. There are more than 255 million mobile phone users in the U.S., roughly 85% of the U.S. population. (DIDX and its original precursor for call forwarding, Virtual Phone Line, is a media partner for ITU's Telecom World which takes place Oct. 5-9, 2009.)


"When a Virtual Phone Line user clicks to buy a phone number within the personal portal, one of the fields of descriptive data is yes or no on SMS service available. If it is compatible and the DID (direct inward dialing phone number) is purchased, then the user may click on Advanced Features and activate. One may also click on a particular Virtual Phone Line, and click yes or now to allow incoming SMS, again where the 'VPL' shows "SMS Supported," Virtual Phone Line customer Michel Chamberland of Bordeaux, France shares. "We appreciate being able to view the SMS's in the SMS Inbox in their Virtual Phone Line personal portal. It's common for many of the people we want to be in touch with us in certain areas of the world to use SMS than it is for them to use Twitter, so this new feature is very handy, SMS to change call forwarding and ability to receive SMS with some Virtual Phone Line numbers."

Direct Inward Dialing numbers are a requirement for Private Branch Exchanges (business phone systems). Now businesses with DID phone numbers (from Virtual Phone Line) can receive SMS and voice calls directly by outside of their PBX (News - Alert), without going through a receptionist or company operator. The SMS brings new flexibility and value to Virtual Phone Line users. To sign up for Virtual Phone Line, the website to visit is http://www.virtualphoneline.com.

How Virtual Phone Lines, IAX2 or SIP Creates Business and Jobs

Roll over and out, "recession."

Virtual Phone Line does not come with an Asterisk server. Instead it was created to empower you as a consumer, smb, entrepreneur, or other individual or organization to have access to as many international and local phone numbers (50 countries now) as possible. We want to make sure in every way possible that you can have a local presence in the areas where there are people who are important to you. People ... who you are waiting... for them to give you a call. Share with your local phone number. They pick up their phone dial that local phone number. It rings where you set it to ring to.

But what if you want to ring to IAX2 or SIP? Get access to an Asterisk,Kamailio, FreeSWITCH, Yate, openSIPS, or other SIP server setup and get tips at http://www.virtualphoneline.com/asterisk/!

Virtual Phone Line was invented by Rehan Ahmed, president and CTO of Super Technologies, Inc. in 1999. Thousands of global users were taking advantage as early as 2000. In 2001 it won the Spring Internet World Best of Show Client Device award. Now, more important than "awards," Virtual Phone Lines has helped entrepreneurs to create 10s of 1000s of new businesses around the globe in just 10 years time. It has helped to employ millions.

Virtual Phone Lines and the power of open source telephony has created more opportunities than they get credit for. Be a part of the massive revolution against recession. Match a Virtual Phone Line with the geographical area of the world that is important to you in business, love, friendship and more, or start your own Call Foward Management System business.
