DID Provisioning | Minutes Network

Overview

Intelligent Number Management at Global Scale

Minutes Network's DID Provisioning platform automates every aspect of telephone number management. From instant activation of local numbers to complex international porting workflows, our system handles it all through a unified API and intuitive dashboard.

Instant Activation

Provision new numbers in under 30 seconds via API or dashboard. Our pre-allocated inventory across 100+ countries means numbers are ready to use immediately - no waiting for carrier provisioning cycles or manual configuration.

Bulk Provisioning

Provision thousands of numbers in a single API call. Upload CSV files with number requirements, and our system allocates matching numbers from inventory, applies routing rules, and activates them in batch - ideal for large-scale deployments and migrations.

Porting Automation

Our porting engine automates the entire number portability workflow. Submit porting requests via API, track progress in real time, and receive automated notifications at each stage. We handle LOA generation, carrier coordination, and cut-over scheduling.

Regulatory Compliance

Automated regulatory document management ensures every number meets local compliance requirements. Our system knows which documents are required per country and number type, and guides users through the submission process with validation checks.

Inventory Optimisation

AI-driven inventory management predicts demand patterns and automatically replenishes stock across destinations. Avoid number shortages with smart allocation algorithms that reserve capacity based on your historical usage and growth projections.

Capacity Planning

Forecast number requirements based on customer growth, seasonal patterns, and campaign schedules. Our capacity planning tools integrate with your CRM and billing systems to anticipate demand before it arrives, ensuring uninterrupted service delivery.

Provisioning Workflow

From Request to Active Number in Seconds

Our streamlined provisioning workflow automates every step, from number selection through to activation and quality verification.

Search & Select

Search available numbers by country, city, area code, number type, or pattern. Our inventory API supports regex-based searching, so you can find vanity numbers, sequential ranges, or numbers matching specific patterns. View real-time availability across all number types and regions.

Configure Routing

Assign routing rules to provisioned numbers before activation. Configure SIP trunk destinations, failover rules, time-based routing, IVR integration, and call forwarding. Routing can be set per-number or applied in bulk using templates for consistent configuration across large number pools.

Compliance Check

Our automated compliance engine verifies that all required regulatory documents are on file before activation. For countries requiring proof of address, identification, or business registration, the system validates documents against local requirements and flags any issues for resolution.

Activate & Test

Numbers are activated instantly once compliance is verified. Our system automatically runs a test call to confirm reachability, verify routing configuration, and check audio quality. You receive confirmation with test results, and the number is ready for production traffic within seconds.
