Same-day activation

Provisioning that takes minutes, not weeks.

Most numbers activate the same day you order. The provisioning queue hands you the number, maps it to a flow in your admin console — including the AI receptionist — and opens the line for inbound calls before the support coffee goes cold.

Multi-carrier setup, port-out paperwork, fax confirmations, CSR documents, regulatory back-and-forth — and the number still isn't on. We skip all of that because we run the carrier layer ourselves.

Coffee still hot when you go live.
Built on our own carrier network

Cleaner audio, fewer hops, no campaign-night surprises.

Because TKOS owns the interconnects and runs the platform under the STIR/SHAKEN framework, toll-free calls don't bounce through five carriers before reaching the agent. That shows up as cleaner audio, faster setup and fewer delivery surprises during big campaigns.

FAQ

What teams check before they order.

Country availability, porting timelines and what it takes to send SMS from a toll-free line.
