Cleaned-Up Transcript

As you're making outbound calls using PhoneBurner, we need to display a Caller ID to your contacts. While you can bring your own Caller ID, many users prefer to purchase phone numbers directly through PhoneBurner for better campaign management.

Here’s how you can purchase a phone number directly through PhoneBurner for dedicated calling campaigns:

Step 1: Access the Numbers Inventory Page

• Click on your initials in the upper-right corner.
• Select Numbers under Settings.

This takes you to the Numbers Inventory page, where you can manage the phone numbers you’ve purchased through PhoneBurner. If this is your first visit, your inventory may be empty.

Step 2: Purchase a Phone Number

• Click the Get Numbers button in the upper-right corner.
• Select the State where you’d like to purchase a number.

For example, if you're launching a campaign targeting Texas, type "Texas" in the search bar and select it.

• A list of Texas area codes will appear — I’ll choose 972 for the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
• On the right side, you’ll see a breakdown of costs, including your subtotal and estimated tax.

Step 3: Add Additional Numbers (Optional)

• If you’d like to purchase more numbers, you can:
  • Add multiple numbers in the same area code.
  • Select another state (e.g., Florida) and choose an area code from that state.

The order summary will update automatically to reflect the changes.

Step 4: Place Your Order

• Once you’re satisfied with your selections, click Place Your Order.
• After the order is processed, click View My Numbers to return to your inventory.

Step 5: Managing Your Numbers

From the inventory page, you can move purchased numbers into Number Pools for better organization and to assign specific Caller IDs for targeted campaigns.

That’s how easy it is to purchase phone numbers through PhoneBurner, giving you the ability to manage Caller IDs effectively for your outbound calls.
