A national number works across an entire country instead of one city, so it fits teams selling nationwide who do not want to look tied to a single region. We offer them in 38 countries, from $6 a month, and more than half carry no activation fee.

Calling out costs you the same as it would on a local number. What the person calling you pays is set by their own carrier, not by CloudTalk, so it can differ from one network to the next inside the same country.

A mobile virtual number sits on your country's mobile prefix, the same range a SIM card would use, except nothing is tied to a physical SIM and your whole team can answer it. People who ignore unknown landlines will often pick up a mobile number, which is why outbound teams ask for them.

We offer mobile numbers in 42 countries from $6 a month. In some of them the number sends and receives SMS as well, and in a few it does SMS only and cannot take calls, so check the country you need before you build a campaign around it.

Local, national and mobile numbers all start at $6 a month. What you pay above that depends on the country: local numbers run around $10 a month in the middle of the range, mobile closer to $15, and a handful of hard-to-source markets cost considerably more.

There can also be a one-time activation fee, though plenty of countries charge nothing at all. Toll-free numbers run on their own scale and are priced separately.

The activation fee covers what the local carrier and regulator charge us to issue and register a number, and that varies enormously by country. Where a market is simple to serve we pass on nothing, which is why a large share of our numbers activate free.

Where a regulator demands registration, documents or a local presence check, that work has a price and it shows up as a one-time fee. It is charged once, not monthly, so it rarely changes which country is cheapest to run long term.

From some of them, and the SMS column shows which. SMS capability is decided per country and per number type, so a country can sell you a perfectly good voice number and no way to text from it, or the reverse: a number that only does SMS and cannot take calls at all.

If SMS is the reason you are buying, confirm the country first. The full reachability list, including which markets accept international messages, is in the Help Center SMS article.

Most numbers need paperwork: usually company registration, proof of ID for a company representative, and sometimes a service address in the country. A useful minority need nothing at all and can be activated straight away.

Where a lead time is published, local numbers sit around ten business days, national around a week and mobile a little quicker. The clock starts when your documents are complete, so sending them in full the first time is the fastest thing you can do.

Yes. Local numbers can be ported in 46 countries and national numbers in 21, so your customers carry on dialling the number they already know. Expect roughly $30 per porting request, around $10 per number, and about two weeks once your paperwork is complete.

Mobile is the exception worth knowing about: we can port mobile numbers in 10 countries, and in several of those the number becomes voice-only once it moves. Your country, fee and wait time are listed in the porting pricing and coverage article.

Yes, a number cannot stand on its own: it has to sit on a CloudTalk subscription, because the number is only useful once there is a phone system answering it. So you are paying for two things, the seat and the number. Our pricing page shows what each plan includes.

If you want to hear the line before committing to either, start a free trial. It comes with a testing number, so you can make and take real calls before you buy one of your own.

Yes, and for most teams it is the whole reason for buying more than one number. You can buy local, national and mobile numbers across 99 countries, hand each one to whichever team or agent should answer, and route calls by country, time zone or working hours, so a customer in one market never waits on a team asleep in another.

The detail that decides it in practice is reachability rather than headline coverage. Local and national numbers travel well and anyone can dial them from abroad. Our international numbers page covers how that works day to day.

Toll-free numbers are free for the person calling you, because you pick up the cost of the call instead, and they are priced on their own scale. They are built for inbound support work rather than outbound, and most of them are reachable only inside their own country.

Prices sit on our toll-free number pricing page, and which number types exist in each market is on country coverage.
