All numbers are technically owned by the government, but once purchased by a provider, they have exclusive rights of use for that number. When you purchase a Smartnumber from a provider, you have equal rights of use for that number as long as the subscription with the provider is active.

How do you get a Smartnumber?

You can find available phone words when you use our Smartnumber search tool. Alternatively, you can also check ACMA and get a number directly from them.

Can the number be traded or leased?

No. Once you’ve chosen a Smartnumber, it cannot be traded or leased.

How long does it take to set up a Smartnumber?

It takes approximately 7 to 10 business days to set up your Smartnumber.

What if the Smartnumber I want is unavailable?

If it is unavailable on ACMA, then you’ll have to settle for the next closest match of the Smartnumber that you want.
