Agent Phone Number & SMS

An agent that emails well still stalls the first time someone asks "what's your number?" — or a driver needs to reach it, or a customer would simply rather talk.

An Anima identity can hold a real US number. It sends and receives SMS, places and answers calls, and the transcript comes back as data.

Provision a number

anima phone provision --agent  --country US

Optional: --area-code for a preference, --capabilities sms,mms,voice to narrow what the number does.

anima phone search --country US --area-code 415   # see what's available first
anima phone list --agent 
anima phone release --agent             # give it back

Phone is a paid plan. If the command is refused, the agent asks its owner rather than retrying:

anima request phone --agent  --reason "needs to text delivery updates"

Text

anima phone send-sms --agent  --to +15551234567 --body "On my way."

Inbound SMS arrives on the same number and can be delivered to your endpoint:

anima webhook create --url https://example.com/hook --events sms.received

Call, and keep the transcript

anima voice place --agent  --to +15551234567
anima voice transcript 

anima voice also gives you calls, summary, score and semantic search across transcripts. Outbound calling is gated server-side on TCPA consent, plan caps and voice spend — the refusal is the product working, not a bug to retry around. anima phone voices lists the catalog — currently 90 voices across seven languages (de, en, es, fr, it, ja, nl).

What these numbers are, precisely

They are geographic US lines. They send and receive SMS and voice, and they are real numbers a person can call back.

They are not mobile lines, so do not promise they will clear a third-party signup gate that checks line type. Some services accept them and some do not, and that is the provider's decision, not something this product controls. We retracted an earlier claim to the contrary; treating it as settled would set an agent up to fail in front of a user.

On the same identity

The number sits alongside the agent's own email inbox and an encrypted credential vault — one identity, one API, one bill. See agent-email-inbox and agent-credential-vault.

Phone, SMS and voice need a paid plan; the free tier covers email, vault and MCP. anima auth whoami shows the current tier. Docs:
