Buying numbers through the interface is straightforward for most cases, but compliance requirements can sometimes make it tricky — especially for certain countries or number types. If you run into any issues or just want help, contact us at support@itellico.ai and let us know what you need. We’ll take care of it.
How to Buy a Number
Open the marketplace
Go to Telephony → Buy Number, or open Telephony → Phone Numbers and click Add Number → Buy a Number.
Select country and number type
Choose a supported country from the dropdown, then select one or more number types such as local, national, mobile, or toll-free. Available types depend on the country.
Check pricing and compliance
The marketplace shows the monthly price for your selection. If a compliance profile is required for that country, you’ll see a notice — you must have an approved profile before purchasing.
Search for numbers
Optionally search by digits or prefix (e.g., “720” or “555”) to find specific numbers. Results show up to 50 matching numbers with type, location, monthly price, and purchase action.
Purchase
Click Purchase on your chosen number. Checkout opens in a separate secure payment flow. After checkout, you return to Phone Numbers, where the number can briefly show as provisioning before it is fully available.
After Purchase
Once your number is provisioned:- Open Phone Numbers to find your new number
- Open the number’s Routing settings to assign an agent
- Optionally add a Label for easy identification
- Test a call to verify everything works
If checkout succeeds but provisioning is still running, the Phone Numbers page shows a temporary status notice until the number is ready.
