Explore how virtual phone numbers can make life easier for students and job seekers with budget-friendly, flexible communication!
What Are Virtual Phone Numbers?
Virtual phone numbers operate independently of a specific phone line, SIM card, or physical location. They use VoIP (Voice over Internet protocol) technology. This allows users to make and receive calls or texts from any internet-connected smartphone, tablet, or computer.
As you gear up for a new academic year, you'll face all sorts of challenges. Relocating, juggling job searches or freelance gigs, keeping in touch with friends and family - you name it.
Traditional phone services can feel like old-school dinosaurs, especially for international calls or tight budgets. Virtual numbers offer a cost-effective alternative to stay connected easily, both locally and globally.
Ways to Use Virtual Numbers
Wondering how virtual numbers can level up your student life? Check this out:
Remote Interviews and Internship/Freelancing Opportunities
With a virtual number, it’s easy to connect with potential employers, no matter where they are. It adds a touch of professionalism and helps you keep those job-related calls on point.
Job Applications and Multiple Job Markets
Virtual numbers let you apply for jobs in different regions and countries while keeping your personal number private. Pick local numbers for different areas or go for international numbers if you’re job hunting or moving abroad!
Side Business and Temporary Work
Do you have a side hustle or a temporary gig? A virtual number provides you with a separate line for your job search, even if your smartphone doesn’t support dual SIM. No need to buy a new SIM card or device, especially if you're looking for a job in another country. With virtual numbers, you can make and receive calls conveniently through the app, no matter where you are.
Voicemail and Text Messaging
With a virtual number, you can set up custom voicemail and receive text messages for job updates.
Privacy Protection and Budget Management
Worried about privacy while job hunting? A virtual number has your back! It keeps your personal info safe and helps you save on communication costs, especially for those international calls. Stay in touch without breaking the bank!
Short-Term Residency, Travel, and Flexible Contact for Relocation
Are you studying abroad or relocating? Virtual numbers let you keep one number without needing a new SIM card. This makes it easy for employers to reach you regardless of your location.
Why Virtual Numbers Are Great For Students And Job Seekers
Here’s why VoIP is your new best friend:
Cost-Effective
Let’s face it: college and university life can drain your wallet faster than you can say "tuition fees." VoIP helps you save significantly with much cheaper local and international rates compared to those traditional phone services.
Flexibility and Mobility
Virtual numbers let you stay flexible and not be glued to a fixed phone line. You can call from any internet-connected device, whether you're applying for a job or studying in a library anywhere in the world.
No Need for a SIM Card
Forget about switching SIM cards or paying extra for roaming! With VoIP, you get to make and receive calls via the app from anywhere in the world.
Customisable Features
Platforms like Zadarma make communication easier with features like voicemail-to-email and transcription. Never miss a job-related or important call again- receive voicemails directly in your email. If you can't listen to them, for example, while in class, you can use the call transcription feature to read them instead.
eSIM: Mobile Data for People on the Go
If you travel, study or work abroad, eSIM makes staying connected easy and affordable. Just activate mobile data instantly, wherever you are, and switch networks easily.
At Zadarma, we offer eSIM packages for individual countries or multiple regions. You don’t even need to switch between eSIMs. With just one eSIM, you can travel to different countries and stay connected effortlessly.
