Phone regulators in many countries want to know who’s behind a number. Before you can buy a local number there, you send a verification: your business details, an address in the right place, and a document or two. Once it’s approved, you can reuse it for more numbers in that country. Kallabot tells you, before you buy, whether a number needs one and exactly what it asks for.

​
Start a verification

You can start one from Numbers → Add → Start a verification, or right in the middle of buying a number that needs it.
1

Pick the country and number type

Requirements depend on both. A UK mobile number asks for different things than a UK local one.
2

Tell us who you are

Your business name and details, or your own if you’re a sole trader.
3

Add an address

Many countries want an address in that country, or even in the number’s area. Save it once; your address book is reused next time.
4

Upload documents

For example a trade licence, a utility bill or an ID. Kallabot says which ones count. Documents you’ve uploaded before are in your library.
5

Check and send

Kallabot checks your answers against the country’s rules before you send, so you catch mistakes early. Then send it for review.

​
After you send it

Numbers you saved while waiting stay reserved for you where possible. If one gets taken in the meantime, you can swap it for another.

​
Keeping it current

Some verifications need renewing, and you can replace one if your business details change. You’ll see a prompt on the verification when either is needed.
Verification is reviewed by our phone number provider, Twilio, under the country’s rules. Kallabot sends them only what the verification asks for.
