We’re going to start by getting a number that we can use for our receptionist. There are two ways to get numbers compatible
with Vocode:
Linking your own telephony provider via BYO Telephony.
Purchasing a number directly via Vocode telephony.
If you’re on the Free plan, you’ll have to upgrade your account in order to either purchase numbers via Vocode telephony or
to link your own Twilio account via BYO Telephony.
You can link your own telephony account once you’ve upgraded your plan by following the
documentation in BYO Telephony. We’ll quickly walk through the steps here for adding your own
Twilio account.First, we’re going to link our Twilio account via Account Connections.
You can use the numbers/buy endpoint to purchase numbers via Vocode telephony or via your own account connection. Here,
we purchase one using Vocode telephony.
