Buyer's guide
By Matt Smith · Updated July 2026
CloudTalk (160+ countries, $19/user/mo plus $6/number) and 8x8 (100+ countries, quote-based) cover the widest ground. They're the best options if you need numbers across several countries. Quo (formerly OpenPhone, $15/user/mo, $5/extra number) is cheapest if you only need a few. wlur offers international numbers at $15/user/mo. It's live now, with a 7-day free trial.
"Virtual phone number" pages usually quote one headline price. They skip the part that actually costs money: what a second, third or tenth number adds to your bill each month. That per-number add-on varies from $5 to $10 across providers. Country coverage varies even more.
This list is ranked on three things. How many countries each provider actually covers. What an extra number costs on top of the base plan. And whether the number works the way you'd expect (some countries require a local business registration to get a number at all). Prices below are per number per month, unless stated.
We pulled each provider's own international numbers page or coverage list in July 2026. We cross-checked per-number add-on pricing against public pricing pages. Some providers require a quote instead of publishing rates, like 8x8. We note that plainly, rather than guessing a figure.
This is desk research. We did not run a hands-on test of provisioning a number in every listed country. Local requirements, like proof of address or business registration, can add delay in some countries. They can even block a purchase entirely. Check the provider's country-specific page before committing budget.
| Tool | Best for | Entry price | Seat minimum | Standout |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Broadest coverage | $19/user/mo (annual) | 1 | 160+ countries, numbers from $6/month each | |
| Enterprise multi-country rollouts | Custom quote | varies | 100+ countries, but no public pricing | |
| Cheapest for a handful of numbers | $15/user/mo | 1 | $5/extra number, but no true local numbers outside US/Canada | |
| Sales teams needing local caller ID | $29/user/mo | 2 | 70+ countries for numbers | |
| AI-native teams with light international needs | $15/user/mo (annual) | 1 | Fewer countries, but strong call transcription | |
| Vonage | Legacy telecom reach | $13.99/line/mo | 1 | Wide coverage but add-ons stack up fast |
| Global teams already on RingCentral UC | $20-30/user/mo | 1 | Broad coverage bundled into enterprise tiers | |
| Simple international numbers, live now | $15/user/mo | 0 | Extra numbers in minutes |
CloudTalk has the broadest reach of any provider on this list. You can see its pricing without a sales call.
CloudTalk publishes coverage across 160+ countries. This spans the Americas, EMEA, LATAM and APAC, per its international numbers page. Additional numbers run $6/number/month on top of the base plan. One number is included.
For a business opening numbers in five or six countries, that's meaningfully cheaper and more transparent than quote-based options. Reviewers on G2 say provisioning is quick in major markets. It's slower for less common ones that need local documentation.
Honest cons
8x8 covers more countries than most. But you'll need a sales call to find out what it costs.
8x8 offers numbers in 100+ countries. It can port existing numbers in over 40 of them, according to 8x8's international numbers page. Extra numbers are quoted at $2-10/month, depending on the plan tier and country. But 8x8 doesn't publish exact pricing, so your real cost depends on your quote.
This fits larger organisations already comfortable with an enterprise sales process. A small team may want to self-serve a price online. The lack of a public rate card is a real friction point, worth weighing against the coverage.
Honest cons
Quo offers great value and a clean app. But it isn't built for true multi-country local numbers.
Quo's extra numbers are $5/month flat. That's cheaper than CloudTalk's or 8x8's per-number rates. The base plan itself is the lowest on this list, at $15/user/month with no seat minimum. Calling and texting to US and Canadian numbers is included. Everything else is pay-per-minute via prepaid credits.
Here's the catch. Quo's number provisioning is centred on US and Canadian numbers. It isn't the right pick if you need a true local presence number, say, in Germany or Singapore. It is the right pick if your extra numbers are mostly domestic, with occasional international calling.
Honest cons
JustCall offers solid coverage for outbound sales calling with a local number. But it comes at a higher seat price.
JustCall supports numbers across 70+ countries. It's built with outbound sales dialing in mind. Local caller ID for cold outreach is a core use case here, not an afterthought. It integrates natively with Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive, to log those calls.
The 2-seat minimum and $29/user/month price put it above CloudTalk for a similar country count. It makes the most sense when the sales dialer features (predictive dialing, SMS/WhatsApp) justify the premium over the numbers alone.
Honest cons
Excellent call intelligence, but international number coverage isn't its strongest suit.
Dialpad's differentiator is AI: live transcription, automatic summaries and sentiment notes on every call. Its international number coverage is narrower than CloudTalk's or 8x8's. Adding numbers in less common countries can need support involvement, rather than instant self-serve provisioning.
If your priority is call intelligence, and you only need numbers in a handful of major markets, Dialpad's AI layer is genuinely useful. If country breadth is the main requirement, look higher on this list first.
Honest cons
Vonage has wide underlying network reach. But à la carte add-ons make the real monthly cost hard to predict.
Vonage's long history as a telecom carrier gives it broad underlying network reach for numbers. But its pricing model is built around à la carte add-ons, not a flat per-number rate, per Vonage's pricing page. Features that are bundled elsewhere often cost extra here.
It suits a business that already has a Vonage relationship, or specific carrier-grade requirements. For a business shopping fresh in 2026, the add-on structure makes it harder to budget confidently. CloudTalk's or Quo's pricing is simpler.
Honest cons
RingCentral has broad number coverage. But it's bundled into an enterprise UC platform most small teams don't need.
RingCentral's global number coverage is broad and reliable. It's wrapped into a platform that also includes video conferencing and team messaging. If you need all three, that bundling is efficient. If you just need phone numbers in several countries, it's more than necessary.
Pricing tiers and per-number costs vary by region. They aren't as simply published as CloudTalk's. Reviewers frequently note a learning curve for admin configuration across multiple countries.
Honest cons
wlur is our product, so grade this entry accordingly. It's live now.
wlur is our product, so grade this entry accordingly. A team can add international numbers in minutes from the app today. It costs a flat $5/month per extra number. There's no country-by-country quote process, unlike some competitors.
There's a 7-day free trial with no card required. You can check provisioning speed and country coverage yourself, before committing, rather than taking our word for it.
Honest cons
At 1 user needing 5 country numbers, CloudTalk is $19 (base) plus $24 (4 extra numbers at $6) = $43/month. Quo is $15 plus $20 (4 extra at $5) = $35/month. Those extra Quo numbers aren't true local presence outside the US and Canada, though. JustCall is $58 (2-seat floor) plus a per-number add-on that isn't always published.
At 3 users, sharing the same 5 country numbers, CloudTalk runs roughly $57 (3 seats) plus $24 = $81/month. Quo runs $45 plus $20 = $65/month. The gap narrows at scale, since the number add-on is flat regardless of seat count.
At 8 users with 5 country numbers, CloudTalk is about $152 plus $24 = $176/month. Quo is $120 plus $20 = $140/month. Run your specific country list and seat count through the calculator. Per-number pricing and coverage both shift the total.
Team phone cost calculator →It's a phone number that isn't tied to a physical phone line at a fixed location. It routes through VoIP to an app or device instead. This lets a business have a local presence anywhere.
CloudTalk publishes coverage across 160+ countries, as of July 2026. That's the widest published list among the providers compared here.
Between $5 and $10 per number per month, across the providers here. CloudTalk charges $6, Quo charges $5, and 8x8 quotes between $2 and $10, depending on plan and country.
Sometimes. Certain countries require proof of local address or business registration before they issue a number. Check the specific provider's country page before budgeting.
It depends on the provider and country. 8x8 supports porting in over 40 countries. Check each provider's porting policy for your specific market.
It's cheap for extra numbers ($5/month). But it isn't built for true local presence outside the US and Canada. International calling elsewhere is pay-per-minute.
8x8 uses a quote-based model for enterprise plans. Exact per-number costs depend on your specific countries and plan tier, not a public rate card.
Quo's $5/month extra numbers are the cheapest published add-on rate. CloudTalk's broader true-local coverage may be worth the extra $1/month per number, though.
Mostly, yes. Callers dial a normal-looking local number and can't tell it's virtual. Call quality does depend on the receiving device's internet connection, though.
Major markets are often instant, or take a few hours. Less common countries that need documentation can take days, per provider support documentation.
Yes. wlur is our product, live today, with a 7-day free trial and no card required. International numbers are available now, at $5/month per extra number. Weigh our ownership of the product against its shorter review history.
Yes, in most cases. The monthly number fee covers having the number. Calling minutes to and from it are often billed separately, especially outside included-country bundles.
