Steps

  1. 1Start from your Profile

    Tap get a number on the Profile tab.

  2. 2Choose a country

    The list starts with the most popular countries; search to find any other. Each one shows what its numbers can do: Calls, SMS, MMS. Pick the country you want a number in.

    Select Country screen listing popular countries with their Calls, SMS and MMS capabilities
  3. 3Choose a region, where there is one

    Countries with regional numbers ask for a state or region next. Pick one, or All Regions to see everything. Mobile numbers are not tied to a region.

  4. 4Pick your number

    Scroll the list and tap the number you like. Numbers are shown in the country's own format; a Premium tag marks the ones that cost more. If the number is marked Address Required, the app asks for your address first, see Add the address a country requires.

  5. 5Choose your plan

    Your first number comes with a subscription. On iPhone choose Yearly (the best value, shown with its price per month), Monthly or Weekly; Android shows its own plans. Prices are for your region. Tap Subscribe and get Phone number and confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your Google account.

  6. 6Your number is ready

    Back on your Profile the number appears with a crown, meaning it is your primary number, its status Active and the days remaining. Messages, Keypad and Recents are now live.
