The CLID feature is particularly useful when screening known, unknown, or unwanted calls. Unwanted calls are effectively deterred with the use of caller ID, including obscene, harassing and threatening phone calls.

What is a SIP number?

They are not dedicated to a single country.

Virtual (international) numbers are treated by Apifonica REST API as conventional telephone numbers. These numbers have all the same properties as conventional phone numbers except for they use SIP protocol to connect.

The only important thing about virtual numbers is that virtual numbers cannot be called from fixed or mobile numbers.
