# Buy a WhatsApp number

> Rent a number from us and connect it to WhatsApp without a SIM card of your own.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Available on every plan. Buying, connecting and cancelling need the **owner** or an **admin**
> role.

## Overview

No spare number for WhatsApp Business? Rent one directly in SetterMaxer AI. We set up the
number for you, and when Meta verifies it, we answer Meta's verification call and show you
the code — no phone needed.

* **Countries:** the United States. Germany and Austria are coming soon.
* **Price:** a flat monthly fee per number, billed through Digistore24. Cancel anytime.
* **Ownership:** the number is rented, not transferred to you. When you cancel, it is
  released at the end of the paid month and cannot be recovered.

## Buy a number

**1. Open Phone numbers**

Go to **Phone numbers** in the sidebar and click **Buy number**.

**2. Choose a country**

Pick the country, confirm that the number is rented, and continue to payment.

**3. Pay**

Complete the checkout on Digistore24. Back in the app, the number shows as **Setting up** and is
usually ready within a minute.

## Connect it to WhatsApp

**1. Start**

On the purchased number, click **Connect to WhatsApp** and continue with Facebook.

**2. Add the number**

In the Facebook window, choose to add a new phone number and enter your purchased number. The
dialog has a copy button.

**3. Choose Phone call**

When asked how to receive the code, choose **Phone call**. Text messages from Meta do not
reliably reach rented numbers.

**4. Enter the code**

About a minute after the call, the code appears in SetterMaxer AI. We also email it to you.
Enter it in the Facebook window to finish.

> [!WARNING]
>
> We answer calls for 15 minutes after you click **Connect to WhatsApp**. If you request another
> call in that time, its code replaces the previous one. After 15 minutes, click **Listen again**
> and request a new call in the Facebook window.

Once connected, the number stays in your list with a **Purchased** tag. Assign it to an agent like any
other number — see [WhatsApp](https://docs.settermaxer.com/guides/whatsapp.md).

## Cancel a number

Open the **⋯** menu on the number and choose **Cancel number**. The number keeps working until the end
of the paid month. Until then you can change your mind with **Keep number**. A purchased number can't
be deleted; cancelling is how you stop paying for it. The owner can also cancel or keep a number, and
download its invoices, under **Billing**.

When the paid period ends, the number is removed from WhatsApp and from your organisation, and any agent
using it stops answering on it. Conversations are kept.
