Sometimes referred to as virtual numbers, inbound numbers carry calls from the point they originate (the caller) to the answer point, where they terminate. The beauty of toll-free numbers lies in the fact that no cabling system or costly infrastructure is required. Virtual numbers use existing landlines and mobile networks throughout Australia and New Zealand. A toll free number is a type of inbound number that allows your callers to call your inbound number for free.

Four main categories of Australian inbound numbers exist.

Three main categories of New Zealand inbound numbers exist.

0800 Numbers – the prefix is followed by a six-digit number (e.g. 0800 654 321)
0508 Numbers – the prefix is followed by a six-digit number (e.g. 0508 654 321)

Local Virtual Numbers– like a traditional landline, they are specific to certain area codes (e.g. 09 for Auckland, 03 for Christchurch, etc.)
