Here are some common questions about our service.
1. What is free about SiPNumber?
|
| When you sign up for SiPNumber, you get a private U.S. phone number plus service that includes voicemail, call forwarding, and unlimited incoming calls absolutely free of cost. In-network calls between SiPNumber users are also free, no matter how far away you are from one another or how long you talk.
And free is exactly how you'll feel when you have your own private communications tool to protect your privacy and simplify your life.

| When you want to talk personally with people you meet online, give them your SiPNumber phone number - and you gain an extra measure of security. When you shop online, enter your SiPNumber on the order form instead of your home or cell phone number - you'll be invisible to telemarketers.

4. How much does SiPNumber cost?
|
Our free service costs nothing! When you sign up for a SiPNumber account, you will be provided with a unique unlisted phone number, which you can begin using.
Each number provides unlimited inbound calling and comes with 60 minutes of free outbound calling, which may be recharged with your credit card. Premium local numbers and toll-free numbers can be purchased at low monthly rates. |
5. Why is SiPNumber free?
|
| There are 3 reasons why we provide the services for free. The first reason is that we want you to be a loyal user first before becoming a customer. The second reason is that we want knowledgeable users. The third reason our services are free is that "free" is the best marketing tool in the world. |
6. Why should I upgrade?
|
| You might find that instead of a non-local phone number, you need one that is local to your area - some people consider that to be more professional-looking. You might require more voicemail or fax storage, or a toll-free number for your business. Those are all reasons for becoming a premium services subscriber for a nominal monthly cost. |
7. Do I need special software?
|
| No, software is not a requirement of our services. SiPNumber can be used to call forward to any standard telephone, cell phone or VoIP device. If you decide to use our software phone client, simply download it from our website and follow the instructions to configure it. |
8. Do I need special hardware?
|
| You do not need special hardware unless you intend to use it as your VOIP phone. There is no hardware requirement to forward calls to your personal phone. Hardware devices and adaptors can be purchased to make the SiPNumber experience similar to that of most home phones. For best results, devices should be SIP (sessions initiation protocol) compliant. |
9. Can I sign up for SiPNumber from outside the United States?
|
| SiPNumber numbers are available to be used globally, simply signup and begin using it. All you need is a valid email address and user name to start receiving free inbound calls. You can receive US calls from anywhere in the world without having to pay long distance charges. |
