Frequently Asked Questions

Rentals

Do you have calling features with rentals?
Currently, our main call offerings are through one time voice verifications. We do offer some calling offers in the form of voice verifications with some services in our Rentals section. It will clearly list this next to the service.
How do I get more than one service on a single phone number?
You can purchase an “Unlimited Services” 30 day rental (giving you the ability to use any service on the phone line) OR a non-renewable number and selecting your desired services. You can add the services you want to your cart and then during checkout, you can check the box "All On Same Line” when purchasing a single line. All services chosen will be associated with the same phone number.
If my number rental expires, can I get it back in the future?
Only with our renewable numbers, IF we still have the number, you can reactivate it. There is a $10 reactivation fee, plus we charge the time elapsed, and the base cost of the line. You can check your Rental History to see if the Reactivate button is available.
Why do I have prorated fees?
When you purchase a Renewable number and you already have a Renewable number on your account, you have two options during Checkout. You can click under 'Billing Cycle' to see these options. You can place the number on an already existing billing cycle and the line will be prorated (it may include another month of purchase), or you can put it on its own cycle and be charged the normal 30 day, 90 day, or 1 year price, and your account will be charged every 30 days, 90 days, or 1 year, from the time you purchased it.
Can I pay for a phone number for more than one billing cycle at a time?
You can only pay for the phone number one billing cycle at a time. We do have an auto-renew system in place. Please make sure to look next to your phone number and toggle the "Renew" switch on if you want to keep your number for the next cycle, or off if you want to end the rental at the end of the cycle.
When and how does the line Auto-Renew?
If you have enough money in your account for all lines in the billing cycle to auto-renew and the lines are set to auto-renew, the lines will renew right before they are set to expire.
My phone rental already has an account associated with it.
Please contact support and send us a screenshot of the error/issue from the website you were requesting a verification from and make sure the device's time is clearly on display in the screenshot.
My line stopped working, what should I do?
If you have one of our older manual rentals, press the "Wake Up" button and wait until the line is listed as READY before trying again. If the issue continues, or if your rental does not use wake mode, contact support and they will troubleshoot the phone number. Just like any other phone, sometimes it just needs to be restarted.
I purchased a phone number, where is it?
If the line was back ordered then it can take up to 72 hours to fulfill and will be listed under Rental Backorders. If the line was in stock, then it will be on your account under Active Rentals.
What does Non-Renewable mean compared to Renewable lines?
The key difference is that Non-Renewable lines cannot be renewed OR reactivated. However, they can be extended, but must be extended while the line is active; generally, this is not as cost effective as purchasing a Renewable line. With renewable lines, you can choose to hold on to your phone number indefinitely and the price will not go up – as long as you continue to pay for it each billing cycle, you'll keep the line as is.
