Not sure how to get a number for the AI to answer
The number on our signage can never change
Hard to predict what each number type costs
Pick a country, choose between local and toll-free, and search what is available. In Japan, the local search is where you find 050 numbers. You can run several numbers side by side for different purposes.
| Type | Countries | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| 050 (national) | Japan | A Japanese IP phone number tied to no area code. A fit for businesses without a storefront, or a line dedicated to the AI. |
| Local | Japan, US, Canada | A number starting with a local area code. Customers nearby recognise it as a local line. |
| Toll-free | Japan, US, Canada | The caller pays nothing. Useful when you want to lower the barrier to getting in touch. |
Some numbers require address verification. The monthly price for each type is shown in the dashboard before you claim one.
