Virtual phone numbers from Taiwan
Get your Diànhuà hàomǎ in Taiwan with our toll-free 886-801 numbers for just $39.95.
Please note: Taiwan numbers are metered — a per-minute incoming rate applies to each call — and they are for incoming calls only.
Use any device or software
Any device can be used to receive calls with your FlyNumber.
- Any SIP or VoIP app on iOS or Android
- Mac, PC, or Linux computer
- Desktop office phone
- Any regular phone number (to receive calls)
- Any VoIP solution (e.g. Asterisk, 3CX, 3rd party VoIP)
Choose from 4 powerful ways to use your FlyNumber
1.) Use FlyNumber SIP to receive calls
- Receive calls with your Taiwan number in any SIP calling app from the app stores — Zoiper, Groundwire, Linphone and more — or on a desk phone. We help you set it up.
- Incoming calls are billed at a small per-minute incoming rate from your prepaid balance.
- Register up to 5 devices, with voicemail built in.
- Taiwan numbers are inbound-only — outbound calling isn't available. See the Taiwan-specific limitations.
2.) Let an AI voice agent answer your Taiwan calls
Switch your Taiwan number's Call Handling to AI voice agent answers and a built-in agent takes the call. It answers questions from the facts you give it, takes messages and transfers callers to you.
Choose Chinese (Mandarin) as the greeting language; the recording uses mainland wording. Write the opening line and rules in Chinese and the agent answers in Chinese, switching to the caller's language if they speak another.
$0.10 per minute of AI conversation, billed per second. No monthly fee for the agent.
3.) Forward the Taiwan phone calls to any standard phone number worldwide
- For an additional per min rate you can forward the Taiwan calls to any regular phone number in the world.
- You'll see the caller ID of the person calling your Taiwan FlyNumber on the phone you're forwarding to.
- Change the forwarding number anytime via the FlyNumber panel.
- Consider our optional cloud phone system to enhance call forwarding options.
4.) Set the Taiwan number directly to VoIP
- Set the Taiwan number directly to a SIP/VoIP address.
- High level call logs to help diagnose/debug any issues.
- Use any 3rd party VoIP provider or your own PBX system (Asterisk, FreePBX, 3CX, etc.)
- In your FlyNumber panel this is the Forward to SIP / VoIP Address option.
Note
Switch between them any time from your FlyNumber panel. Two more settings live there: Park the Number, which stops the number ringing anywhere (callers hear busy) with no call charges, and the optional cloud phone system, $14.95 a month for voice menus, ring groups and business hours.

FAQs
Are there any restrictions for Taiwan phone numbers?
Yes. Taiwan numbers are inbound-only (no outbound calling), no SLA is available and service may be disconnected without notice, and toll-free numbers that receive no calls for three consecutive months may be reclaimed by the regulator. See the Taiwan-specific limitations for details.
What are the benefits of using a Taiwan FlyNumber for international calls?
Using a Taiwan FlyNumber, you can forward calls to any phone number worldwide with the original caller ID displayed. It allows for efficient communication across borders with ease of managing the forwarding number via the FlyNumber panel.
How can I manage high call volumes for my Taiwan-based business?
The cloud-based phone system offers features like day/time-based routing and call recording. These are useful for businesses in Taiwan, helping manage high call volumes, especially during peak hours.
Can I integrate my Taiwan FlyNumber with local VoIP systems?
Yes, you can set your Taiwan FlyNumber directly to a VoIP/SIP address (a per-minute incoming rate still applies, since Taiwan numbers are metered). It is compatible with on-premise solutions such as Asterisk and FreePBX commonly used in Taiwan.
Is it possible to use my Taiwan number as the caller ID for outbound calls?
No — Taiwan numbers are inbound-only, so outbound calling (including showing the Taiwan number as the outgoing caller ID) isn't available. See the Taiwan-specific limitations.
How does FlyNumber support remote work for Taiwan-based teams?
FlyNumber allows you to forward the Taiwan number to multiple numbers or VoIP destinations, supporting remote work for teams by maintaining connectivity no matter their location.
