A Local Access Number is a country-specific telephone number that allows users to make international calls through United World Telecom’s (Global Call Forwarding) network without relying on traditional VoIP or high-cost direct dialing. This solution is ideal for regions where VoIP services are restricted or where international calling costs are prohibitively high.
Currently, Local Access is a legacy offering from United World Telecom.
