## Before you start

Make sure the correct **Main Account Holder** and **Main Contact Address** are already saved on the account. These details are used for the Government IPND record and emergency services lookup.

## Step log

1. Open **Number Management** > **Purchase Number**.
1. Under **Stock Type**, choose the type of number to buy:
    - **National Australian Numbers**
    - **Virtual Mobile Numbers**
    - **1300 Numbers**
    - **1800 Numbers**
    - **National New Zealand Numbers**
