A one-time identity verification with DialAnyone (government photo ID and a selfie, online), and for an Italy local number the carrier also asks for: government-issued id copy, proof of address (utility bill or invoice), an address in italy, company documents, identity document type, place of birth of contact person, identity document expiration date (iso 8601 format), italian customer type (natural person, legal entity, or sole proprietorship), italian company tax code, partita iva (for legal entities and sole proprietorships only), identity document number, italian personal tax code, codice fiscale (for natural persons and sole proprietorships only), identity document issuing authority, vat number (for legal entities and sole proprietorships only), end user date of birth (iso 8601 format).

Yes. Your virtual Italy number works globally. Anyone in Italy can call your +39 number and it rings on your phone or in your browser, wherever you are.

### Do I need to be in Italy to use the number?

No. Virtual phone numbers work from anywhere with an internet connection. You can be in any country and still take calls to your Italy number and place calls showing your Italy caller ID.

### Can I receive SMS on a Italy phone number?

No. Italy numbers are voice-only — they cannot send or receive text messages. SMS is not available on Italy numbers through DialAnyone. To receive SMS verification codes, use a US, UK or other SMS-capable number.

### Can I receive verification codes (OTP) on a Italy number?

No. Verification codes arrive by SMS, and Italy numbers cannot receive SMS. Use an SMS-capable number — a US or UK number receives OTP codes from most services and works from anywhere in the world.

### Why can't Italy numbers receive texts?

The Italy numbers available to DialAnyone carry voice service only; none of the number types in stock support text messaging. Availability is re-checked daily, and if SMS-capable Italy numbers become available this page updates.

There is a small monthly fee for the number plus per-minute rates for calls, billed from your credit balance. No long-term contract.
