## Request an International Number

For all other countries, request your number at [**numbers.mobilefirst.company**](https://numbers.mobilefirst.company). You'll see setup times, document requirements, and pricing for each country.

There are three setup levels:

| Setup Level            | Timeline          | What's Needed                                |
| ---------------------- | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Instant**            | Minutes           | Nothing — number activates immediately       |
| **Documents Required** | 3-7 business days | Company registration and/or proof of address |
| **Extended Setup**     | 1-2 weeks         | Manual review + local regulatory approval    |

<Note>
  Availability, stock, and pricing vary with local regulation: for any country outside the instant list, [contact support](/en/support/contact) and we'll confirm what's possible and send you a quote.

  **Often the better option:** you may not need a local number at all. Allo calls **200+ destinations** with [international calling credits](/en/billing/international-calling-rates). It's usually cheaper than buying and maintaining local numbers, and it works immediately, no paperwork.
</Note>

<Warning>
  Countries marked **Business only** require a registered business entity. Individual/freelancer accounts cannot get numbers in those countries.

## Understanding Document Requirements

When a country requires documents, here's what each means:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Company Registration">
    Your certificate of incorporation or business registration. The exact document varies by country — for example, a Companies House Certificate in the UK, Handelsregisterauszug in Germany, or CNPJ in Brazil.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Proof of Identity">
    A government-issued photo ID of the company's legal representative. Passport, driver's license, or national ID card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Proof of Address">
    A utility bill or bank statement dated within the last 3 months showing your business address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tax Certificate">
    Required in some countries (Brazil, Turkey, India, China). Your company's tax registration document.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Countries with **local address required** need your business to have a registered address in that country. If you don't have one, contact support — we can help find a solution.
</Note>

## Understanding SMS Availability

Not all international numbers support 2-way SMS. Here's what the status means:

* **✓** — You can send and receive text messages. Business plan required for sending.
* **Mobile only** — SMS is available on mobile numbers only (Germany, Spain).
* **Voice only** — The number supports voice calls but cannot send or receive SMS. This is a regulatory limitation in those countries.

<Tip>
  If you need SMS in a "Voice only" country, contact support. Regulations change and we regularly expand SMS coverage.
</Tip>

## Common Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I get a number in a country not listed here?">
    This list covers all countries we currently support. If you need a country not listed, contact support — we're constantly expanding coverage.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I have numbers in multiple countries at the same time?">
    Yes. You can hold numbers in as many countries as you need. Each number is billed separately.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does 'Business only' mean?">
    Some countries only issue phone numbers to registered business entities. Individual or freelancer accounts without a company registration cannot get numbers in those countries.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is SMS not available in some countries?">
    Local telecom regulations in certain countries restrict SMS on virtual numbers. This is not an Allo limitation — it applies to all providers operating in those markets.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I port an existing international number to Allo?">
    Yes, for most countries. Porting timelines vary by country and carrier. Contact support to start a port request.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do international numbers work with all Allo features?">
    Yes. Call recording, AI summaries, CRM sync, IVR, and all other features work with every Allo number regardless of country.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if my documents are rejected?">
    We'll tell you exactly what's wrong and what to resubmit. Common issues: expired documents, low-quality scans, or missing translation (some countries require English or local-language documents).
