Virtual free phone number for jobsearch

IssyHotten

Is it possible to get a virtual phone number for job searching? So that calls can be answered on your mobile phone?
Preferably free...

I've seen free ones for SMS but not phone calls. Is your mobile dual sim? You could add another sim and use that number for job searching. Or you could buy a cheap phone and put a sim in that.

Lebara have deals that start at around £1 or so a month for about 6 months (then the price goes up but you can get another cheap deal at that point and get a pac to retain your number.)

Do you have a smartphone? There are voip apps that would allow you to have an 01xx or 02xx number as well. Andrews and Arnold do a plan with a single number for £1.44 a month.

An app like Softphone works well on both iPhone and Android.

This is what Personal Numbers starting 070 are designed for.

Charges for calls to numbers in this range changed in 2019 to make them work how they should have originally worked.

The changes were also designed to eliminate the opportunity to make money from incoming calls and therefore stop Wangiri and other such scams on this number range.
