If you use the CALLR console, you'll get a quote corresponding to the numbers you asked for before the purchase is finalized.

Number Purchase Parameters

Number Type

We offer both local (geographic) mobile (non-geographic) numbers in most countries we serve. You can pick your desired number type during the purchasing process.

Class: Gold and Classic numbers

"Gold" (as opposed to "Classic") phone numbers are numbers that are easy to remember because they are sequential, repetitive or both. Here are some examples:

(646) 345 6789 - sequential
(646) 286 4545 - repetitive
(646) 365 3650 - repetitive
(646) 555 7770 - repetitive (triple-triple)

Assignment modes

The assignment mode parameter corresponds to the attribution method of the desired numbers:

Sequential mode assigns numbers preferably following each other: for instance, if you buy three numbers you will get: (646) 982 0820, (646) 982 0821 and (646) 982 0822.
Random mode assigns numbers randomly.
