# How to buy a US or Canada number

> Choose a local SMS-capable number for your agent and review the charge before buying.

A US or Canada number can receive texts and calls in Eva. Sending texts to the US also requires approval of your business registration.

## What you will get

A local number assigned to your agent.

## Requirements

* An active plan and the account owner's approval of the charge.
* An agent without a number: each agent can have one.

## Buy the number

**1. Open Phone in Integrations**

In **Settings** → **Integrations** → **Phone**, select **Buy number** and choose the agent that answers calls and SMS on the number.

**2. Choose the country**

Select **United States** or **Canada** and leave the SMS-capable filter on. Search for digits you prefer.

**3. Review and confirm**

Pick a number. Eva shows its capabilities and charge before purchase. The local number costs MXN $39 or USD $2 per month, depending on your account currency. Confirm only if you agree.

## How to know it worked

The number appears under **Voice phone**. Buying it does not mean it can already send texts to the US; see [How to activate SMS](https://docs.goeva.ai/en/channels/sms/activate-sms.md).

## If something goes wrong

If no numbers appear, search without digits. If your agent already has a number, use another agent. If Eva reports a setup problem after purchase, open **Voice phone** and use **Reconnect**.
