How does buying a vanity number actually work?

The short version: you pick a number on this site, we get it onto your account at NumberBarn (a number-management company that lets you forward, transfer, or hold the number from one dashboard), and forwarding is active by the next business day.

Behind the scenes a person actually does the work. Ray Rothschild at BIZWI handles the carrier side. I’ve been doing this for 30 years and you can count on us, but the part that matters to you is short: pick a number, complete checkout, get a confirmation email, and your number starts ringing wherever you tell us to forward it.

You don’t need to wait for any of the technical pieces before you put the number in print. You can already count on it and start using it in production.
