Country coverage for phone numbers

---

Mobile numbers are numbers that are usually used in cell phones and linked to SIM-cards. CloudTalk offers Mobile Numbers in a handful of countries. These numbers are not linked to any SIM-card and can be used in the same way as Local Numbers and National Numbers.

Unlike geographic phone numbers, national phone numbers are not tied to a particular local area. Pricing for making phone calls from CloudTalk on a national number is the same as if it was a local number. Placing calls into a national CloudTalk phone number should be charged by the carrier the same way a local call would be charged. However, each carrier around the world determines their own pricing policies.

Also called freephone numbers, these are telephone numbers that are billed for all receiving calls instead of incurring charges to the originating telephone subscriber. For the calling party, a call to a toll-free number from a landline or mobile is free of charge. A toll-free number is identified by the dialing prefix (e.g. 800, 0800 or 1-800).
