Error while trying to purchase a number

Due to local regulations, some countries require the users of phone numbers to have a legal address located within a specific geographic boundary.

To purchase these numbers you will need to provide, and keep updated, a valid business or personal address that satisfies the requirement. The address must be the residence or place of business of the individual or entity using the phone number

There are three types of address requirements:

Any: Requires an address anywhere in the world.
​Local: Requires an address that corresponds to the phone number's prefix. Depending on the local regulation, this can be the matching country, region or city.
​Foreign: Requires an address outside the phone number's country.

Once you have a current, verified address or profile, you can purchase phone numbers without future documentation requirements.
