FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

Am I the owner of the purchased number?

Yes. Whether you look for landline or cell phone numbers for sale, you’re the rightful owner of a phone number right from the moment you purchase it. On our part, we’re responsible for issuing the number and porting it. We can also handle its maintenance, but the rights to it are entirely yours.

What does the process of buying a phone number look like?

Our process is not a complicated one. All you need to do is choose a phone number from the list of available phone numbers, add it to your cart and proceed to the checkout. To complete the purchase, you’ll be asked to choose a method of payment and give all the data necessary for the transaction to take place. Your new number can be transferred to your phone provider 1 to 2 business days after the purchase.

How to get a specific phone number?

At TelephoneNumbers.com, we have a whole list of numbers for you to choose from. You can simply browse our phone number availability search to check whether the number you’re interested in is available. But keep in mind that the cost will depend on the type of phone number you want to buy. Regular local phone numbers tend to be cheaper than vanity numbers, VIP phone numbers, or custom phone numbers. And if you’d like to give your clients a chance to contact you for free, our offer includes US toll-free numbers as well.

Is the price a one-time fee or is it monthly?

Our business model focuses on selling a product, a phone number, rather than providing a service. In this case, a product is understood as the process of searching, activating, and transferring your new phone number. In effect, you’re only expected to pay for the number once instead of being charged with any monthly or yearly fees.

Is the service legal?

Yes, it’s perfectly within your rights to buy a specific phone number or coming up with a custom phone number for a business or personal use. As a legitimate and certified business, we make sure to comply not only with the industry standards but, even more importantly, with the law to offer our clients solutions that are without any doubt 100% legal and of the highest quality.

Are the phone numbers for sale currently under contract?

No, none of the numbers we offer are currently under any contract. Once you buy one of our numbers, you can be certain that you’re its rightful owner, and you’re free to register this number with any carrier or provider of your choosing.

Do you provide any discounts?

You can count on getting the best deal when you buy phone numbers in bulk, though we can, at times, offer discounts on certain numbers. But if you’d like to find out more about your options or you have a specific question, please, contact us directly via email or telephone. We’ll do our best to assess your situation individually and come up with the best solutions for you.

What does “porting” a number mean?

Porting a number is a process of taking a phone number from one service provider to another. That’s why your phone number will be ported to a new provider once you decide to make a switch. But keep in mind, that depending on your service provider, the length of the porting process may vary.

How long is the porting process?

Some phone carriers or service providers will take longer than the others to complete the transfer. But in most cases, it shouldn’t take more than a few business days. Yet, since every company operates in its own way, it’s difficult to accurately estimate the length of the porting process. Once you buy a number from us, we’ll be there to answer all your questions and help you with this process.

I have more questions. Can I get in touch with you directly?

Of course, we understand that each situation is different, and your case may require specific solutions. That’s why if the answer to your question isn’t covered in this FAQ, you can contact us by email and phone. Our experts will be happy to help you find the best solutions.
