Buy a phone number
Get a new local, toll-free, or mobile number added to your workspace in a couple of minutes.
LimePhone offers virtual phone numbers in 26 countries. Depending on your plan, one or more numbers may be included — check your plan details in Settings → Billing for what's included and per-number pricing.
Buy a number from your dashboard
Sign in at dashboard.limephone.io.
Open the Phone numbers page. (Settings → Phone numbers lists the numbers you already own and links here too.)
Choose to add a new number.
Pick the number type: Local, Toll-free, or Mobile (some countries also offer National numbers).
Filter by country, type, area code or city (where supported), and toggle SMS-enabled if you need texting.
Pick a number you like from the results and add it. A confirmation dialog shows the charge before you buy.
Buying a number is plan-gated — if your plan doesn't include additional numbers, you'll be prompted to upgrade. Once purchased, the number is provisioned to your workspace immediately and appears in Settings → Phone numbers, where you can configure it — see Manage a number.
Search for a number before signing up
You can browse available numbers on dashboard.limephone.io before creating an account — search by country and area code to confirm we have the number you want, then sign up to claim it.
Why buy a number in another country?
If your customers are in a particular country, a local number there gives them a familiar, low-cost way to reach you — a caller in London sees a London number rather than an international one. You can hold numbers in several countries at once and route them all to the same team.
Good to know
Some countries require identity or address verification before a number can be activated. If a number needs documents, you'll be guided through Settings → Trust center.
Virtual numbers often can't receive bank or 2FA one-time codes — don't rely on a virtual number for account verification with other services.
To send SMS on US numbers you'll also need 10DLC registration in Settings → Trust center; unregistered US texting is filtered by carriers.
