Virtual Number Feature

Search & Buy Numbers

Numbers are self-serve. You search what is available, purchase the number you want, and it is attached to your account without a procurement conversation. Releasing works the same way, which matters more than it sounds: a number you can hand back is a number you can experiment with, rather than a line item you keep paying for because cancelling requires an email thread.

What Buy a Number gives you

Search available numbers, buy the one you want from the dashboard, and release it when you no longer need it.

See what is actually available

Search live availability rather than submitting a request and waiting to hear what you can have.

Buy from the dashboard

Purchase is an action you take, not a sales process you enter.

Release when you are done

Numbers can be released, so a trial or a seasonal campaign line does not become permanent spend.

Numbers are managed as a list

View, inspect and update the numbers on your account individually.

How Buy a Number works

End to end, in the order it actually happens.

  1. 1

    Search available numbers for the city or type you want.

  2. 2

    Complete KYC verification if you have not already.

  3. 3

    Purchase the number; it is attached to your account.

  4. 4

    Point it at a forwarding rule, SIP destination or IVR flow.

  5. 5

    Release it later if you no longer need it.

What Buy a Number does not do

Worth knowing before you build a process around it.

  • Purchase runs behind a KYC check, which is an Indian telecom requirement rather than a platform choice. Budget for verification before first activation.
  • Availability differs by city and number type - search tells you what exists now, and a specific number cannot be guaranteed in advance.
  • Porting an existing number in is a separate question; do not assume it is supported.

Common uses

  • A first business line

  • City-specific local presence

  • Campaign-specific tracking numbers

  • Separating work from a personal mobile
