Follow the steps provided to purchase a virtual number. Be sure to check the 'Voice' feature, if you want a voice-enabled number! We also recommend getting a toll-free number. 

Next, navigate to your TextIt workspace settings page, and click the + **New Channel** button on the top-right side of your screen.
