Virtual Phone Numbers (DIDs) require registration

legal restrictions

The use of telephone numbers requires a sense of responsibility. Telephone numbers, if used incorrectly, can become a very dangerous weapon and a means of organizing nasty and hateful scams. For this reason, according to our Terms of service, it is strictly forbidden to buy telephone numbers using false identities: our customers must be real and identified persons. So, the first time you place an order in our website you will be asked to upload a copy of your personal identification document and a photo ("selfie"), in which you keep the document in your hands. You can skip this step, but we reserve the right to request the document at a later time and to stop the service if it is refused.

Also, while many countries have an unlimited policy for virtual phone number assignment, some require documentation. When you buy a number from an unrestricted country, the document review will be almost immediate; for other countries, orders are forwarded to an authority who will review and approve the order, so it may take a few hours, but never more than a day.

Notice that some countries require that the buyer of the number is residing in the same country and/or in the same city as the number itself.

So please check if you are authorized to buy a number before creating an order!

If you purchase a number for which you do not meet the necessary requirements, or you are not able to provide the necessary documents, the payment transaction fees will be withheld as the payment is refunded.

The following table shows the requirements that apply when purchasing a virtual phone number from these countries.

You will be required to provide the listed documents in PDF/image format during the number purchase process, using a dedicated upload link.

Important note: When asked to submit a copy of the document, you must also submit a photo ("selfie") of yourself holding the document. Sorry for the inconvenience, but this is necessary to protect your safety and that of other users, preventing identity theft.
