Compare the number’s capabilities, registration requirements and complete price before placing the order.
Find an available number
- Open Rent numbers and choose the country.
- Choose a state/province when offered, then a geographic area or the required number type. Browse the area list if you do not know the prefix.
- Select an available number and check its voice/SMS capabilities against the service you want to use. A country listing is not a guarantee that every number supports messaging.
- Compare setup, monthly rental, inbound usage, included minutes and channels. Review additional outbound and optional-feature charges separately.
- Read the registration requirements for that exact area and number type. Prepare the requested identity/address evidence under Registration documents.
- Review the selected number, account and total before the final purchase confirmation. A number requiring approval can remain pending until its documentation is accepted.
Make the number ring
- Find the purchased number under Number inventory and open its editor.
- Choose its voice Call Action: Hosted PBX, a SIP destination, or another supported destination. Set the corresponding destination and any failovers in the intended order.
- Configure SMS delivery separately where enabled; voice routing does not configure message delivery.
- Review the assigned registration record, renewal and channel-overflow settings, then save.
- Call the public number and check the actual destination and two-way audio. Test SMS separately if it is part of the approved service.
For Hosted PBX, continue with assigning a number to the PBX. For the channel/allowance distinction, read number pricing.
