4. Complying with legal requirements, E.164 format, and supporting documents by country

The assignment of international phone numbers is regulated by telecom authorities in each country (e.g., the FCC in the United States, ARCEP in France, CNMC in Spain).

To ensure compliance for your lines and avoid any service disruption, certain rules must be followed when placing an order.

Standardized international format (E.164)

For entering numbers, call routing, and caller ID configuration, Ringover uses the international E.164 standard (consisting of the + sign, country code, and local number without the initial 0).
