How to Register for a Toll-Free Number

Step-by-step instructions for registering your toll-free number, including required business details and tips for passing carrier verification.

Registering your toll-free number verifies your business with mobile carriers so your account can send Two-Way SMS messages. Follow the steps below to complete your registration accurately and avoid delays.

Before You Begin: Gather Your Details

Most of the information the form asks for comes from paperwork you've already filed to establish your business. Have these on hand before you start:

  • Your W-8 / W-9 tax documentation (or the equivalent tax form your business filed)

  • The business license or registration paperwork completed for your state, province, or country

  • Your IRS-issued documentation — for U.S. businesses, this is where your EIN (Employer Identification Number) appears


Step 1: Access Toll-Free Number Registration

  1. Open your profile in the top right corner and select Company Settings from the side panel.

  2. Select Toll-Free Number Registration. The registration form will appear.

Toll-Free Number Registration is available on the Complete Tier only. If you don't see it, check your subscription tier or reach out to your account representative.

Step 2: Complete the Registration Form

Your Legal Business Name, Registration Number (such as an EIN), Registration Authority, and Registration Country should be entered exactly as they appear on your tax documentation or business license. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required.

📝 Note: The details you provide should exactly match your official business and tax records — mismatches are the most common reason a toll-free number doesn't pass carrier verification.

The form is organized into six sections.

Business Information

  • Business Type* — your tax/profit classification (e.g., Private Profit, Sole Proprietor, Non-Profit)

  • Legal Business Name* — your exact registered legal name

  • Doing Business As (DBA) — your trade name, if different from your legal name

  • Website* — e.g., https://www.yourcompany.com

  • Registration Number* — the number itself, e.g., EIN 12-3456789

  • Registration Authority* — the issuer of the number above (e.g., EIN for the US, CBN for Canada); required unless you are a Sole Proprietor

  • Registration Country* — select United States or Canada

  • Legal Entity Type* — your legal structure (e.g., LLC, Corporation, Partnership)

  • Industry* — the best fit for your business

  • Print Name*

  • Title*

  • Date*

Step 3: Review and Submit

  1. Review every section — confirm your Legal Business Name, Registration Number, and Registration Authority match your official records exactly.

  2. Submit the completed form. Registration status updates will be sent to the Notification Email you provided.

💡 Tip: Carrier verification can take several business days. If a registration is rejected, it's almost always because a value didn't match the business or tax records on file. Recheck your details against your W-8 documentation and business license, then resubmit.
