How can I rent a phone number?

You can rent or purchase a number through the Plivo console or by using Plivo’s API.

To rent a number from the console, navigate to Phone Numbers > Buy Numbers. Here you can search for numbers by country, prefix, and/or location, and filter numbers based on functionality — such as voice, SMS, and MMS — and type of number, such as local, mobile, or toll-free. Click Search to bring up a list of available numbers. The list shows the number type, capabilities, and fees for every number. In the list of numbers returned, click on Buy Number to add a number to your account.

There's no limit to the number of Plivo phone numbers you can rent, as long as you have sufficient credits in your account. 

Once you've rented a number, it will appear under Phone Numbers > Your Numbers > Active on the Plivo dashboard. 

Numbers are subject to availability. If you're unable to find a number for a specific prefix or location, please create a ticket with our support team.

You can also search for and rent a number through Plivo's PhoneNumber API.
