Phone Numbers
A Tour of the Plivo Console: Phone Numbers
We’ve just about concluded our top-to-bottom tour of the Plivo chinese singapore phone number list console. The only major area we haven’t visited is Phone Numbers, the sixth icon on the main console menu. Clicking on that number-sign icon brings up a list of numbers rented by your account along with a button that allows you to rent more.
Eagle-eyed readers will note that the button you click to rent numbers says Buy Number. Tomato, tomahto — you get the exclusive use of the number, for which you pay a monthly fee that varies by country.
Clicking on any individual number on the list brings up a screen with detailed information about it, beyond the summary displayed on the list screen.
Renting a number
Clicking the Buy Number button takes you to a screen where you can search for the kind of number you want in any of the countries in which Plivo rents phone numbers.
When you’ve ticked the selection criteria and clicked Search, Plivo displays a list of numbers that meet your criteria. Next to each is a Buy Number button that you can use to add the number to your roster of active numbers.
The first list displayed on the Phone Numbers screen is all the active numbers rented to your account. Other available lists show pending, unrented, and port-in numbers.
Some countries regulate phone numbers and require that information be submitted to a regulatory authority before they can be rented. Such numbers are marked pending until a compliance application is submitted and accepted. You can fill out a compliance application by clicking on the appropriate menu item under Phone Numbers.
