In order to provision phone numbers in many countries, SalesLoft and our customers must adhere to the local country regulations. These different requirements may mean you must provide identity documentation to the carriers or local regulators in order to obtain a number.
Regulation standards are kept through a phone number approval process. This process involves providing various levels of documentation to carriers or local enforcement agencies based on country regulations.
In this article, you will learn how the standard number provisioning process works and specific guidelines for the top 10 most popular countries to provision SalesLoft numbers, including:

How to Provision an International Number
In order to make the process of provisioning an international number as fast as possible (and get you dialing quickly), we need your help in gathering and providing the necessary identity documentation.
Things to Note: On average, it takes 5 business days to provision international numbers. However, there are some numbers that might take longer due to additional local government restraints.
Follow these steps to provision an international number:
- Find the country you would like to provision a number from below or in the Phone Number Regulatory Requirements documentation.
- Things to Note: In rare instances, numbers in that area may not be available. If this occurs, we are put on a waiting list until the country's local government provides them with a number
- Gather the necessary information. For example, if you are applying to a number for Germany, you will need to provide business information for proof of identity and proof of a local address.
- Contact the SalesLoft support team with your number request. Provide the necessary documentation that specifies the city and country number your are seeking.
- Our Support team will take care of the number provisioning process with our third party Dialer provider.
- Once your number has been provisioned, we will contact you.
