Request numbers or international numbers for Amazon Connect
Important
To purchase and own a phone number, country or region regulations often require:
-
A local office address.
-
Specific identification documents.
For identification requirements by country, see Region requirements for ordering and porting phone numbers in Amazon Connect.
In most countries it takes 2-6 weeks for us to fulfill your request. In some cases it can take up to 60 days. If you need a number by a certain date, let us know in your AWS Support case.
Note
Amazon does not provide the following:
-
Premium rate or higher cost services
-
Vanity numbers such as 1-888-555-0000 or an exact number
If you want these services we recommend you contract with specialist providers. For premium rate services you can route calls into Amazon Connect DIDs following local country regulations. For vanity numbers, after you've purchased them you can move these numbers across to Amazon Connect by porting them.
To request international phone numbers that require documentation, or numbers not available within a specific region, create an AWS Support case. In the support case, you must specify exactly how many numbers you want for each country.
Submit an Amazon Connect support ticket to verify if your phone number can be ported to Amazon Connect.
