Buy a Phone Number

You can search for, buy, and provision new numbers - all within the Numbers section of the Opentact Portal.

Simply click on "Numbers", then either "Search & Buy Numbers" and follow the prompts.

Check out the Advanced Number Search for more specific number searches.

Create an Outbound Voice Profile

Select "Outbound Voice Profiles" on the left-hand navigation menu, click "+Add New Profile" and set up your profile name. Add the SIP Connection you just created above, the traffic type, the service plan, and your desired billing method.

You can also do this programmatically via our RESTful API. Check out our documentation for Outbound Voice ProfilesAPI.
