Virtual phone number is an exclusive service offered by carsales to help you keep your personal number private when selling. A Virtual phone number is included as part of your Ultimate Ad or you choose to purchase it as an add-on, your private number will be hidden on your ad completely and it will be replaced with a virtual phone number.
Any potential buyer that rings the virtual number displayed on your ad will be redirected to the number you’ve provided us with, without the caller ever seeing your private number.
As a Virtual phone number is a landline-style number, it also eliminates the option for buyers to SMS you as a seller and prevents any potential scam text messages from getting through.
Virtual phone number is included in our Ultimate Ad and can also be purchased to add on any Standard or Premium Ad. Once it’s added to your ad, you’ll get unlimited use of a Virtual phone number for 45 days. Virtual phone number is activated approximately 30 minutes after your ad has been approved.
