This guide details how to create free phone numbers on the Vapi platform, which you can use with your assistants or squads.

1

Head to the “Phone Numbers” tab in your Vapi dashboard.

2

Click on “Create a Phone Number”

3

Within the “Free Vapi Number” tab, enter your desired area code

Currently, only US phone numbers can be directly created through Vapi.

Vapi will automatically allot you a random phone number — free of charge!

It takes a couple of minutes for the phone number to be fully activated. During this period, calls will not be functional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get more than 10 free phone numbers?

For now, each wallet can have up to 10 free numbers. This limit ensures we can continue offering reliable, high-quality service to everyone.

Are international calls and numbers also free?

Not at this time. You can still bring in global numbers using our phone number import feature.

Is there a catch to the free service?

None at all. We’re simply passing on the cost efficiencies we’ve gained through robust engineering and volume partnerships.
