    2. After you've chosen one, use the Get New Number pane to look up numbers by country, number type (Local, Tollfree), area code, city, or keyword.
      For example, to find a keyword, enter a number that ends in "pfit" for "perfect fit." This will return all numbers that contain the filtered string, whether it’s an area code, city, or keyword.

Some international numbers may have regulatory requirements that necessitate the submission of verification documents to CX Service for transmission to carriers.

    5. On the next screen, enter a number alias name and link it to a routing flow. The published flows will be enlisted here.
