Do you have a new phone number in mind but you’re not entirely ready to use it for anything just yet?
You can purchase your sweet new number from NumberBarn and Park it with us for $2/month until you are ready to get movin’.

- Auto-attendant menu
How do I purchase a new number?
To begin, hop over to our website to search for your new number. You can search through millions of numbers, which is sort of like trying to find a needle in haystack. To use our search system to the fullest potential and find exactly the right number take a look at our Guide to Finding the Perfect Number.
It is also incredibly important to take note of the activation time frame. This is the time frame of which your new number will be activated. If you’re uncertain about how to find the activation time frame, check out our guide here. We may also contact you to verify your order before completing it so be on the lookout for that in your email.
How much does it cost?
The purchase price of the phone number is a one-time fee. You can find the purchase price listed to the right of the phone number in the search results. If you purchase a number and you change your mind, please check out our refund policy.
