Signing up for OpenPhone and getting your dedicated phone number is simple. You can create a new account in minutes or join an existing workspace if you’ve been invited by your team.
Email verification: Enter your email address and click “Continue”. You’ll receive a 6-digit code in your email. Enter this code and click continue.
Personal information: Enter your first and last name.
Account type: Confirm whether this OpenPhone account is for your team or just for you.
Identity verification: To verify that you’re real, enter a mobile phone number and provide the verification code.
A landline, Skype number, or virtual number cannot be used for verification. You must use a real mobile phone number.
Phone number selection: Choose between:
New phone number: We’ll automatically assign you one, which you can change by clicking “pick a different number”
Port existing number: We’ll assign you a temporary number while the porting process is completed. Learn more about porting
Plan selection: Pick the plan you’d like to trial. Regardless of the plan you choose, you’ll get a 7-day free trial. You can cancel at any time and we’ll send you a reminder email a day before your trial ends.
Payment information: Enter your credit card information.
A temporary $1 hold will be applied to validate the payment method. This is not an actual charge and will be removed from your card within a few days.
OpenPhone works with Stripe to conduct identity verification online. This ensures every workspace belongs to a real person or business with good and lawful intentions.
Both OpenPhone and Stripe have access to your verification data. Stripe uses stringent security standards to handle and store this information. To request data removal after verification, email [email protected].
Not at this time. Each email address can only be associated with one OpenPhone account. If you need to keep billing separate for different businesses, you’ll need to register with a different email address and use an alternate browser or device to access the second account.
What is the $1 security hold?
When you sign up and enter your credit card details, a temporary $1 hold is placed on your card. This is a security check, not an actual charge. The hold will be removed from your card within a few days.
Can I get verified using a different method?
No, currently the government ID verification process described above is the only option. The in-app prompts will guide you through the required steps.
