Get a number and assign it to an agent

Buy a dedicated number from your account, or keep your own, then connect it to your agent.

AvailabilityDedicated numbers from $5.99 a month depending on the country; the number included depends on your plan.

Buy a number

Can’t find the number you want? Get in touch: we can request it from the carrier (supporting documents depending on the country, usually 1 to 3 working days).

  1. Open the "Get new phone number" menu.
  2. Choose the country and type (local, national or freephone, depending on availability): the monthly price is shown before you buy.
  3. Confirm: the number appears in "Your phone numbers".

Assign the number to the agent

  1. In the "Assistants" menu, open the agent, "General" section.
  2. In "Phone number", select the number.
  3. Click "Save".

Keep your current number

  • Simplest option: ask your provider to forward calls to the new number.
  • On Twilio or Telnyx: import your numbers.
  • Have a phone system or SIP provider: connect it over SIP (all plans).

Tip

After any change, call the number to check the agent answers.
