# Apply for Verified Phone Number

> Register your US phone number with carriers so it won't be flagged as spam.

<Note>
  Only available for US numbers at this time.
</Note>

Phone carriers may mark numbers as "Spam Likely" — especially when telephony providers like Twilio recycle previously used numbers that were once associated with spam. Registering your number as a verified phone ensures it maintains a trusted status.
