How long will I wait before a phone number will become active?

All phone numbers are activated instantly. The only exception is phone numbers from countries where a documented proof of local address is required. Phone numbers from such countries will be allocated instantly, however, the number will be able to receive calls after we receive and approve a documented proof of address.

What countries require a proof of address?

CROATIA, FRANCE, GERMANY, IRELAND, NETHERLANDS, NORWAY, SINGAPORE. In those countries an official document with a local address will be required before a phone number can receive incoming calls. A document could be a copy of your passport, utility bill, article of a business incorporation/formation etc. The important part is the address should match the one provided during phone number order. The document will be reviewed by a local carrier before the number will be activated. The address assigned to the number must be current at all times.

Can I select a phone number?

All phone numbers are assigned at random. Currently there is no way to pick a number. We are working with our carrier to introduce that option however there is no ETA when and if it will be implemented.

How many concurrent calls can I receive on my Anveo Phone Number?
