A real number for your avatar
Your avatar can have a real landline, starting with area code 11 (São Paulo) and later other regions as available.
Service being rolled out
VLB Phone
A real phone for your avatar in Virtual Life Brasil. Your avatar will be able to have a landline number, receive calls from the real world and make calls using prepaid credit, with usage control and real caller ID.
First phase in testing: manual release for VIP users and land or island owners, until we finish activating the DIDs with the carrier.

How it will work
VLB Phone will be integrated into VLB's telephony system. Each number is linked to an avatar, and the panel manages the number's monthly fee, call credit and a basic history for security.
Incoming calls
People outside the virtual world will be able to call the avatar's number and be answered by the system set up in VLB.
Prepaid calls
Outgoing calls use credit. This way users control their spending and the grid prevents abuse or misuse.
Planned features
The goal is to make telephony one more bridge between the virtual world and the real world, with simple features for users and serious control for the grid.
DID for avatars
A real landline number assigned to the avatar, able to receive external calls.
Future number portability
When technically possible, users will be able to request a study to bring an existing VoIP number.
Phones in-world
Booths, HUDs and special objects will be able to use VLB Phone in authorized areas.
