How to Get a US Phone Number

How to get a local phone number in the USA.

In this tutorial I am going to tell you how to get your own local US phone number without spending a penny.

Once you have your local US number your relatives and friends will be able to dial your number from their own landlines without paying high international dialing rates.

I shall explain to you how to get your own local US number step by step.

Step 1: Get your own account with callcentric.com. Please press continue. Callcentric will send a confirmation email to you to verify your email address.

Step 2: Verify your email address via the confirmation email sent to you and then provide your city and country code. Click “agree to the terms and conditions” and then click “Sign me up”.

Step 3: Callcentric will try to give you a virtual tour of their websites. Skip that and try going to “Go to my Callcentric”. The next screen that will appear will list your callcentric number in the format of 1777**-copy this number to the clipboard.

Step 4: Open a new browser and go to this website- phone.ipkall.com. Choose the account type as SIP and paste the callcentric number from the clipboard you copies to earlier, into the field that should say “Sip Username”. Enter the username as in.callcentric.com and type in the same email address and password you used earlier when you set up your callcentric account.

Step 5: With a few minutes you should receive an email from ipkall.com with your new local phone number. Keep the email secure as you will need it when you will configure the SIP client.

Step 6: Since you now have a local US number lets get down to activating it.

6a: Click on this link and download and install ExpressTalk on your PC. The trail version is good enough for us for now. 

Please don’t install any of the other optional stuff like toolbars and so on during the setup.

6b: During installation choose only the default options in all the wizard screens.

6c: When you reach on the “SIP setup” page select “Yes, I already have an SIP account” click next. Enter all the SIP details gathered in step 4 above and finish the setup.

6d: Check the setup page if it is complete go back to the “my callcentric page” and refresh it. You should see a message “your phone is registered”. That’s about it!
