I have been using a service called GIzmo5 for the past few years. I have bought from them both Canadian numbers and US numbers for people that wish to contact me here in Moscow. I have then forwarded these numbers to my Russian mobile phone.
These numbers have cost me from $24 per year to as high as $35 per year. The additional cost runs me about 2 cents US per minute having forwarded the call to my mobile phone. I inquired about having a Russian number that people can use when I am abroad - the last time I looked a 499 number ran almost 600 per year. Hope the info helps Nina Nina Rose Dolman Managing Director Direct -Montreal +1 514 313 83 01 Direct -New York +1 516 279 55 57 Direct - Ottawa +1 613 216 51 50 On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 11:17 AM, Marc David Miller < [email protected]> wrote: > Greetings, > > I wanted to know what recommendations (and experiences, if any) people have > with virtual phone numbers (i.e., people call a Moscow or a London phone > number and it is seamlessly forwarded to our phones in the US).
