Canada virtual phone number
A Canadian virtual number: a +1 line issued in Canada, for WhatsApp, Google, marketplaces and every service that asks for a Canadian phone. Issued online, the code shows up in your dashboard.
Canadian virtual number: what to know
A Canadian number shares the +1 code with the USA and differs by area code. Pick Canada when the service or the audience is Canadian; for a generic North American look the US page is the larger pool.

Buy a Canadian virtual number: the essentials
A Canada virtual number is the North American alternative with a Canadian area code: it passes Canadian marketplaces, classifieds and services that check the phone region, and it reads as +1 to everyone else. A virtual Canadian phone number is issued to your dashboard, the code lands there, and the account is registered from any country. Demand for Canadian numbers has doubled over the last quarter, mostly from buyers opening Canadian accounts from abroad.
The formats follow the usual rule. A one-time Canadian code covers a single sign-up; a permanent Canadian number is a mobile line on a physical SIM for Google, PayPal and marketplace accounts opened for the Canadian market. Stock and prices for both formats are live in the passport above. BasolinoVoIP shows stock before payment, not after it.
Canadian numbers in practice
Pick Canada over the USA when the area code matters: Canadian classifieds, marketplaces and services that check the region, or an audience in Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal. Otherwise the two directions behave the same, and the permanent format is the usual purchase for accounts that stay.
Newcomers and remote workers keep a permanent Canadian line so that services at their new address can send codes before a local SIM exists, and sellers abroad take it to look local to Canadian buyers. Nearby in the catalog: Italian numbers.

Receive SMS online with a Canadian +1 number: codes from marketplaces, classifieds, Google and messengers appear in your dashboard, no handset in Canada required. A Canadian SMS number gives a buyer abroad a local phone with a Canadian area code, and the permanent line keeps receiving messages for as long as it is renewed. How receiving SMS works for every country is on the receive SMS page.

Questions about Canadian numbers
Can I register a service from a computer with a Canadian number?
Yes. The number and the code are in your browser dashboard; the service itself can be opened on any device.
What does a Canadian number look like to my contacts?
Like a regular local mobile: +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Contacts see the +1 code and nothing else about you.
Do I stay private with a Canadian number?
Your own SIM never enters the process, and the code is visible only in your account. What contacts see is just a +1 number.
Can I renew a Canadian permanent number every month?
Yes, renewal is one click in the dashboard. Keep the balance topped up before the paid period ends and the +1 number stays yours.
What if the code to my Canadian number does not arrive?
Write to support from the dashboard within 24 hours with the number and order; failed deliveries are handled under the refund policy with a replacement or a refund.
Do calls and groups work on a +1 number?
Yes. Once the account is verified, everything in the app works as usual; the number only defines the +1 code contacts see.
Can I buy several Canadian numbers at once?
Yes. Each +1 number is a separate line in your dashboard with its own codes and renewal, so several accounts can run side by side.
What does in stock mean for Canadian numbers?
That numbers of Canada are currently receiving codes. If delivery degrades, the country drops from the catalog instead of collecting complaints.
How do I tell a Canadian +1 number from a US one?
By the area code: the catalog issues numbers with Canadian area codes on this page and names the country before payment.
Do Canadian services check the area code?
Some classifieds and marketplaces do. A Canadian number passes them; a US +1 line may not.
Is a Canadian number good for a general North American look?
Yes, contacts see +1 either way. For the largest pool of numbers the US page is the bigger direction.
How fast is a Canadian number issued?
Right after payment when the passport shows stock; the code follows within minutes of the request.
A +1 number in a couple of minutes
