📌 Things to Know 

Marketplace Inventory Changes Constantly

Phone number availability can change quickly as:

• Numbers are purchased
• Vendors update inventory
• Listings expire
• Pricing changes

Type of Phone Numbers

All numbers are hosted with a virtual provider; NumberBarn does not issue SIM cards or eSIMs for our numbers.

Rate center 

A Rate Center refers to the geographic area/region associated with a local (US/Canadian) phone number. When purchasing, you should consider rate center compatibility if you plan to port the number to a future carrier, since carrier support can depend on rate centers and other portability factors.
