Local numbers
Local numbers carry a city or region code and are the usual choice for presence in a market: a support line that looks domestic, a callback number for ads, or a second identity for a service. Because reachability differs by carrier, look at what the seller states about capabilities and channels rather than assuming a local number behaves like a mobile one.
- Check the area code matches the city you actually need — 646 is not interchangeable with 212
- Confirm whether inbound SMS is included or voice only
- Ask for a test call in the order chat when a test is offered
Toll-free numbers
Toll-free ranges (800-style in North America, 0800 and similar elsewhere) are used for support and sales lines where the caller should not pay. They tend to carry stricter carrier rules, and monthly rental plus per-minute inbound cost is common, so read the billing unit on the offer before comparing prices.
- Compare monthly rental and per-minute inbound separately
- Confirm the countries the number can be dialled from
- Ask about concurrent channel limits for campaign traffic
Fixed lines
Fixed-line numbers sit in landline ranges and in several countries require a service address or local presence. Sellers who hold those numbers state activation requirements and whether any KYC documentation is needed. Expect slower delivery than a DID range and a longer contract.
DID ranges
DIDs are sold in blocks and pointed at your own SIP infrastructure. The important fields are range size, channel count, forwarding method and whether the numbers are ported in or native to the seller's carrier. DID offers are usually the fastest to deliver because the seller just assigns the range to your endpoint.
- Range size and channel count decide real capacity
- Native ranges usually survive carrier audits better than ported ones
- Check the forwarding method matches your PBX or softswitch
How buying works here
Place an order from the offer page and fund it in crypto. The amount is held by the platform, not the seller. Number details and credentials unlock in your order page on delivery, you confirm, and only then does the seller get paid. If something is wrong you open a dispute instead of chasing the seller.
