# Purchasing phone numbers
### $2.75Purchasing phone numbers for Power Dialer
To use the Power Dialer, you need at least 5 phone numbers specifically for dialing. Please note that these are separate from messaging numbers and are essential for getting started.
#### **Steps to purchase numbers:**
1. **Navigate to Settings**: Go to **Settings \> Calling Campaign**.
2. **Click Buy Number**: Select the option to buy a new number.
3. **Choose an Area Code**: Enter or select the desired area code in the search field.
4. **Search & Purchase**: Browse the available numbers and purchase from the list.
ⓘ **Note:**If no numbers are available, contact support at support@smartercontact.com, and we’ll assist you in getting them.
**💡 Pro tip:** Choose area codes matching your target regions to increase answer rates. For example, if calling Texas leads, consider getting numbers with Texas area codes.
**Important:**
- **Dialing Only**: Power Dialer numbers cannot be used for texting. A messaging subscription is required for texting.
- **Minimum Requirement**: You need exactly 5 numbers to start dialing.
- **Instant Availability**: Purchased numbers are ready for immediate use.
**Troubleshooting:**
- **No Available Numbers**: Contact support or try nearby area codes.
- **Purchase Issues**: If the transaction fails, check your subscription status or contact support.
- **Inactive Numbers**: If numbers aren’t active after purchase, reach out to support, and we will help you out.
### Purchasing phone numbers for Messaging
Purchasing messaging phone numbers
Messaging phone numbers are used to send SMS from your campaigns and Messenger. They are **separate from your Power Dialer numbers** and require an active messaging subscription. You buy and manage them on the **Messaging campaign** page under **Settings**, where the **Owned Numbers** table lists every messaging number on your account.
#### **Before you buy:**
You can purchase messaging numbers only when all three of these are true:
- **Active messaging subscription**: Your plan must be active — not Trial, None, Incomplete, Past due, Pending cancellation, or Canceled.
- **Approved A2P 10DLC brand registration**: If you haven't registered yet or were denied, you'll see a "Please register your brand" prompt. If it's still under review, you'll see "Your registration is in progress…"
- **Sufficient wallet balance**: You need enough balance to cover the number's first charge.
#### **Steps to purchase numbers:**
1. **Navigate to Settings**: Go to **Settings \> Messaging campaign**.
2. **Click Buy Number**: The **Search numbers** window opens. The **Type** is set to **Local number** and cannot be changed.
3. **Choose an Area Code**: Enter the desired area code or prefix in the search field.
4. **Search & Purchase**: Click **Search**, then choose a number from the list and click **Buy**.
Once purchased, the cost is deducted from your wallet balance, a recurring monthly charge is added, the number appears in your **Owned Numbers** table, and you'll see the confirmation "The phone number was successfully added."
ⓘ Note: If no numbers are available for your area code, you can request them directly from the page — click **Order them here** and submit your request.
**Pricing (monthly, per number):**
| Plan | Price |
| --- | --- |
| Starter (quarterly/yearly) | $5 |
| Pro (quarterly/yearly) | $4 |
| Elite (quarterly/yearly) | $3 |
| Elite Plus 20k | $2.75 |
| Elite Plus 50k | $2.50 |
| Elite Plus 75k | $2.25 |
| Elite Plus 100k | $2 |
**💡 Pro tip:** There's no benefit to stacking several numbers in the same area code — spreading them across the regions you actually text helps keep your block rate low. You can monitor the **Block rate** column in the Owned Numbers table.
**Important:**
- **Texting Only**: Messaging numbers are for SMS and are separate from Power Dialer numbers.
- **Maximum Limit**: You can own up to 49 messaging numbers per account. At the limit, the **Buy Number** button is disabled, with the tooltip "You've reached the maximum number of phone numbers you can buy.
