Calls, SMS and WhatsApp on one number
European customers still check where a number comes from before they answer. A local Netherlands number (+31) puts a familiar prefix on your outbound calls and on every SMS you send, which lifts answer rates well above an unknown international number.

Netherlands phone numbers — common questions
What is the country code for Netherlands?
The international dialling code for Netherlands is +31. A virtual Netherlands number is issued inside that numbering plan, so it appears as a local number to anyone calling or texting from within the country.
Can I receive SMS on a Netherlands number?
Yes. Incoming SMS arrives instantly and can be read in the platform, delivered into your phone system (for example 3CX), or pushed to your own server through a real-time webhook. Two-way conversations run on the same number.
Do I need an office in Netherlands to get the number?
You do not need a physical office, but you do need a company registered in Netherlands. When registering the number you provide its address in Netherlands. For a local number the address must also match the number’s area code. The number itself is virtual — it routes to your PBX phone system, 3CX or SIP setup.
Can I use a Netherlands number for calls as well as SMS?
Yes. The number handles inbound and outbound calls plus SMS in both directions, and can also receive WhatsApp audio and video calls routed into your system.
