How it works
A memorable number is an asset. You buy it once, we hand it over with a transfer PIN, and you port it to your own carrier. No lock-in, no monthly plan.
How do I buy a vanity phone number?
Search the catalog by pattern, area code or word, pick a number and pay once by card. Your card is authorised first; we re-confirm the number is still free and lock it to you, then capture the payment and send a transfer pack. You hand that pack to your own carrier or phone app, and it ports the number in.
Find your number
Search millions of available US local and toll-free numbers. Filter by pattern — repeaters, palindromes, ends-in, area code — and by tier. Every number shows a beauty score and a firm price.
Reserve it at checkout
Click Get it and pay through Stripe. Your card is authorized (a hold), not charged yet. Checkout is hosted by Stripe — your card details never touch us.
We secure it instantly
The moment you confirm, we re-check the number is still available and lock it to you, then set a private transfer PIN (port-out passcode). If someone grabbed it a second earlier, you're simply not charged — pick another.
Pay & get your transfer pack
Once the number is yours, the payment is captured and we email your transfer pack: the number, its transfer PIN, and the account details your new carrier will ask for.
Port it to any carrier
Take the pack to your carrier (mobile, VoIP, PBX — your choice) and port the number in, usually within hours at mobile carriers and days to a few weeks at business/VoIP services. You have 90 days to complete the transfer.
Questions
What exactly am I buying?
The right to a specific, memorable phone number and everything needed to port it to your carrier: the number and its transfer PIN. You are not buying a calling plan from us.
What is porting / a transfer PIN?
Porting moves a phone number from one carrier to another. Your new carrier asks for the number, the account it sits on, and a port-out PIN. We set that PIN for you and send it in your transfer pack.
How long does the transfer take?
Most ports complete in a few business days once your carrier submits the request. You have 90 days from purchase to complete it; we'll remind you if it's still pending.
What if the number gets taken while I'm paying?
We re-verify availability at the moment of sale. If it's gone, your card hold is released and you're not charged — just choose another number.
Do calls and texts work on gonumbers?
No — and they don't need to. The number is delivered for you to port to your own carrier, where your calls and texts run. That's the whole point.
Can I get a refund?
If we can't secure the number, you're never charged. You can get a full refund within 14 days if the number has not been ported; see our Refund Policy. For refund questions after a completed purchase, email [email protected] with your order ID and we'll review it individually.
Do you have Canadian numbers?
Not at the moment. The catalog is US local numbers and US toll-free numbers only. Check back; we'll update this if that changes.
Does every carrier accept these numbers?
Most mobile, business and VoIP providers do; personal Google Voice does not (it accepts mobile numbers only), and toll-free numbers usually go to business/VoIP services. See the per-carrier guide before you buy if you have a specific provider in mind.
