# Purchase a DID on Flowroute Platform

Before placing or receiving calls, you must have at least one active DID (or multiple DIDs) on your Flowroute account.

> **Note**\
> If you already have one or more active phone numbers on your Flowroute account, you can skip this section and proceed directly to trunk configuration.

### Create and Prepare Your Flowroute Account

#### Step 1: Create Your Flowroute Account

1. Sign up on the [Flowroute website](https://manage.flowroute.com/signup/).
2. After [logging in](https://manage.flowroute.com/accounts/login/) to your account, begin preparing your SIP trunk configuration.

***

#### Step 2: Purchase DID Numbers

1. From the top menu, navigate to: **DIDs > Purchase**
2. Browse the available numbers and select the DID(s) you want to purchase.
3. Complete the purchase process.

**Expected Result**

* The purchased DID numbers are added to your Flowroute account and are ready for use.

***

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.portsip.com/portsip-communications-solution/configuring-sip-trunks/flowroute-sip-trunk/purchase-a-did-on-flowroute-platform.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
