The Basics

What Is a Virtual Phone Number?

A virtual phone number is a real Indian business number that runs on the cloud instead of on a SIM card or a landline in your office. Customers call it like any normal mobile or city number and pay their usual call rates. The call then rings on whichever staff mobiles you choose. Because the number belongs to the business and not to one phone, it never goes out of reach when an employee is on leave, changes phone or leaves the company.

How It Works With Sukam Cloud IVR

You do not need a phone line, an exchange or any hardware in your office. The number runs on Sukam Cloud IVR, and every call follows a clear flow:

  1. Call routing: calls ring on your staff mobiles by department, round-robin or priority, with different flows for office hours and after hours.
  2. IVR menu: a recorded greeting such as “Press 1 for Sales, Press 2 for Service” sends each caller to the right person.
  3. Missed-call alerts: if nobody answers, the missed caller becomes a callback task for your team, so no enquiry is forgotten.
  4. Call recording: every call is recorded, so the owner can check how the team talks to customers.
  5. CRM integration: each caller is saved as a lead in Sukam Apps CRM with the recording, call history and follow-up reminders, next to your IndiaMART, TradeIndia, website and WhatsApp leads.

Virtual, Toll-Free or WhatsApp Number: Which One You Need

A virtual number is the right start for most small and mid-sized businesses. Here is how it compares with the other options.

Virtual Business Number

A regular Indian business number on Sukam Cloud IVR, with IVR menu, routing and recording. Callers pay normal call rates, and it costs less to run than a toll-free number.

1800 Toll-Free Number

The caller pays nothing and your business pays for incoming minutes. Best when you advertise across India or run a large support line. See 1800 toll-free numbers →

Keep Your Existing Number

In many cases you can keep your current business number and put Sukam Cloud IVR on it. We check this before you start.

Virtual Number for WhatsApp

Take a new Indian virtual number for WhatsApp Business API, no SIM needed, at ₹1,600/year. Meta’s message charges are separate from the Sukam fee.

One Number for Calls and Chats

Use the same virtual number for calls on Sukam Cloud IVR and chats on WhatsApp Business API, so customers reach one company number for both. We first check the number can receive Meta’s verification call.

What It Costs

Virtual number charges depend on the number type, the number of staff receiving calls and your monthly call minutes. You get a written quote upfront, with no hidden fees. Contact us for current plans.

Can I use a virtual number on WhatsApp?

Yes. A virtual number can be registered on the WhatsApp Business API (not the normal WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business app).

Sukam Apps provides an Indian virtual number for WhatsApp Business API at ₹1,600/year, so your team can use WhatsApp from a shared inbox instead of personal phones.

Do you provide setup and training at our office?

Yes. Sukam Apps does on-site setup and staff training in Punjab, Chandigarh, Haryana, Delhi NCR and parts of Himachal (Baddi, Solan), and online setup and training for the rest of India. Every client gets one dedicated support person.
