 Setting up a local telephone number does not always require that you have a residence or business in that area. You can use a variety of Internet call forwarding services to establish a local telephone number, including the proper area code. The calls will forward to your actual telephone number or to a voicemail account. Advertisement 1 Select a virtual phone company that will provide you with a local phone number. There are two examples in the Resources section. 2 Enter your desired state, city or area code on the website to check availability. Select the phone number you want. 3 Enter your existing phone number so the company can forward calls from your chosen local number straight to your phone. You can also set up a voicemail for your local number instead of having the calls fowarded. 4 Pay the set up fees associated with your number, which can vary by location. Your number will instantly be ready to take calls when you pay the fees. |
