Germany virtual numbers

Germany is the largest market in the EU, and much of its online life asks for a German phone number before letting you in. Classifieds and second-hand marketplaces, delivery and car-sharing apps, ticketing sites and most German online shops send their SMS verification to a +49 number and treat a foreign one with suspicion. A German mobile virtual number gets you through that step and stays attached to the account afterwards.

For a business outside Germany, a +49 number is the simplest way to look local. German customers are far more willing to call a number that starts with +49 than one that starts with +1 or +44, and a Berlin 030 or Munich 089 prefix goes further still. Put it on your website, your Google Business listing and your invoices, and forward the calls to the phone you already use in the US, the UK or anywhere else.

Rent a mobile number if it is going on WhatsApp, Telegram or any app that looks up the carrier type before sending a code. German mobile numbers carry a 015, 016 or 017 prefix, and ours sit on real German mobile ranges that pass the checks which reject VoIP. Mobile is the best choice for verification and for any account you plan to keep.

Rent a local number if customers in a particular city should see a familiar prefix: Berlin 030, Munich 089 and Frankfurt 069 are all available, with other cities on request. Rent a VoIP number for a sales or support line where you mostly make and take calls over the internet and nobody will run a carrier check against it; it is the cheapest of the three.

Receive unlimited inbound SMS in your dashboard or forwarded to your email, so codes from German apps and shops reach you wherever you are. Make and receive calls from the app on any device with the +49 number as caller ID, or forward incoming calls to your existing mobile in any country. Register a mobile number on WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business and run a German-facing support line without a German office.

The number stays yours for as long as the rental is active. We never move a German number between customers mid-term, so accounts and listings tied to it keep working month after month, and yearly terms renew on the same number.

German virtual numbers start at $12.99 a month on a monthly term. A three-month term takes 10% off and a twelve-month term takes 25% off the monthly price. Mobile numbers cost a little more than VoIP numbers because supply on verified German mobile ranges is tighter, and local city numbers sit in between. There are no setup fees and no contract beyond the term you choose; cancel at the end of any term, free of charge, and the number is released. Inbound SMS is included; outbound calls and SMS are billed per use at German rates.
