## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability connskill-sms-order-virtual-phone-number-for-sms-verification-1efd15e2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Order me a virtual phone number in the US that I can use to receive an SMS verification code for Telegram.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to programmatically acquire a temporary virtual phone number to complete SMS-based verification for a specific country and service, without requiring pre-registration or an API key. It is backed by smspool and billed per call via x402/USDC on Base, making it ideal for lightweight, automated account-creation or verification workflows.

## Known failure modes

- No numbers available for the requested country/service combination — service or country not supported
- Invalid ISO country code returns a validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance via x402
- Provider (smspool) unavailable or rate-limited
- Number allocated but SMS never delivered — number may have expired or been recycled

## How this service works

Rent a phone number for a target service and retrieve the verification code. Price is quoted per order (from $0.25) via GET /v1/sms-quote.

## Output

Returns a virtual phone number (e.g. +12765550123), an order ID, the current order status ('ordered'), the provider's cost in USD, and the sell price in USD charged to the caller.
