Best Practices for Contacting the Numbering Team

Before Contacting the Numbering Team

  1. Search for the number you want in the portal at https://portal.telnyx.com/#/app/numbers/search-numbers.

  2. If the number is available then you may purchase it. If the number you searched for is unavailable then select the "Request Number" button.

    This is a picture of a number search which returned 0 on-demand results. This populates a "Request Number" button which will send a request form that the customer fills out for the number that was unavailable on-demand but may be available upon request. This form goes directly to the Telnyx Numbering team.

  3. Your request will be sent directly to the numbering team. If any further information is needed then the numbering team will contact you directly. Lead times on number orders and availability checks vary by country and number type so your request will be processed as soon as possible. Please wait at least 7 business days before requesting a status update on a new request or order.

  4. You will receive an update either by a comment on the order or to your email once the transaction is approved/denied.
