Buy a Cypriot Virtual Phone Number

This page is for businesses that want to be reachable in Cyprus without opening a local office. Whether you are serving Cypriot customers, managing property on the island, or working with Cyprus’s financial services sector, a Cypriot virtual phone number lets you present a local identity while keeping your operations international.

Cyprus has deep historical, legal and business ties with the United Kingdom. As a former British Crown colony, Cyprus inherited a common law legal system and maintains English as a widely spoken business language. With a population of around 900,000, the island is a major hub for financial services, shipping, tourism and professional services in the Eastern Mediterranean.

When a Cypriot customer sees a local Nicosia or Limassol number, they recognise it as a domestic call. They pay standard Cypriot rates and feel confident they are dealing with a business that serves the local market. That recognition translates into higher answer rates, more enquiries and stronger customer relationships.

Cyprus has strong international business relationships, particularly with European partners. Thousands of international nationals live and work in Cyprus, and the country has extensive trade, investment and professional ties with businesses worldwide. Cyprus joined the EU in 2004 and adopted the euro in 2008, making it a familiar and accessible market for businesses.

The time zone is EET (two hours ahead of GMT), which allows good overlap with Western European business hours. English is the primary language of business, and most Cypriot professionals are fluent. Legal and accounting frameworks are closely modelled on British systems, reducing friction for companies entering the market.

Limassol has established itself as a major international business centre, attracting technology companies, fund managers and shipping firms. Nicosia, the capital, is the administrative and financial centre. For businesses in financial services, property, legal services or tourism, Cyprus is a natural market.

Cyprus sits at the crossroads of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. A Cypriot phone number positions your business at the gateway to a region that includes Greece, Israel, Lebanon and Egypt. Many international companies use Cyprus as their regional base for the Eastern Mediterranean, and a local presence signals familiarity with the market.

For businesses in shipping, energy, professional services or tourism, Cyprus is often both a market in its own right and a stepping stone to the wider region. The island’s well-developed infrastructure, EU membership and English-speaking business environment make it an ideal hub.

Toll-free 800 — Free for callers from any Cypriot phone. Best for customer service lines, support desks and booking systems where you want to remove any cost barrier for the caller. A worldwide address is accepted.

National 77 — A non-geographic number that works across all of Cyprus. Not tied to any city, making it ideal for businesses that serve the entire island rather than a specific city. A worldwide address is accepted.

Local geographic — City-specific numbers that carry a recognisable local prefix. A 22 number says Nicosia, a 25 says Limassol, a 24 says Larnaca. Best for businesses targeting specific cities or wanting to appear locally established. Requires a Cypriot address.

For most businesses entering the Cypriot market, a 77 national number is the simplest starting point — no Cypriot address needed, and it covers the whole island. Add a local Limassol or Nicosia number later if you want a city-specific presence.

Cypriot numbers use eight digits with no trunk prefix. Callers dial the same format for both local and long-distance calls within Cyprus. When displaying internationally, add the country code +357:

Local example (Nicosia): 22 123456 domestically, +357 22 123456 internationally

National example: 77 123456 domestically, +357 77 123456 internationally

Toll-free example: 800 12345 domestically, +357 800 12345 internationally

On your website, always show the international format with +357 so both Cypriot and international visitors can dial correctly. Since Cyprus has no trunk prefix, the domestic and international formats differ only by the +357 country code.

You choose a Cypriot number — toll-free 800, national 77 or local geographic — and tell us where to forward calls. We activate the number, typically within one business day. When someone in Cyprus dials your number, the call routes through our network and reaches you on your landline, mobile or VoIP system. The caller pays standard Cypriot rates (or nothing, for toll-free) and your team answers as if they were in Nicosia.

You manage everything through your online account: change forwarding destinations, set opening hours, configure a phone menu or enable voicemail. No hardware, no installation, no Cypriot office required.

CallFactory has been providing international phone numbers since 2000. Established in the Netherlands with Dutch management, we serve thousands of businesses across Europe. Our platform handles millions of call minutes each year, and our network is built for reliability and call quality.

We work directly with Cypriot carriers to ensure number availability and call routing quality. When you need support, our team is available by phone and email during European business hours.

Our platform is designed for companies that need international numbers without international complexity. You get a single international account, transparent pricing, and a support team that understands the needs of international businesses operating in European markets.

Adding a Cypriot number takes minutes. You can combine it with numbers in other countries — Greece, Israel, Turkey — and manage them all from a single dashboard. Scale up or down as your Cypriot business evolves.

Cypriot telecommunications is regulated by OCECPR (Office of the Commissioner of Electronic Communications and Postal Regulation). All Cypriot phone numbers are issued in compliance with OCECPR regulations and Cypriot telecommunications law.

Toll-free 800 and national 77 numbers accept a worldwide address. Local geographic numbers require a Cypriot address. CallFactory handles the regulatory requirements on your behalf, so you can focus on your business rather than paperwork.

Getting started takes minutes, not months. Choose your Cypriot number type, provide the required details, and we activate your number — typically within one business day. There are no long-term contracts, no setup fees for most number types, and no minimum call volumes. Start with a single 77 national number and add local city numbers or a toll-free line as your Cypriot presence grows.
