## 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-rental-order-e830608c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Rent me a US phone number for 7 days so I can receive SMS verification codes — I don't want to use my personal number.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent or user needs a real, rentable US phone number to receive SMS messages (e.g. for verification codes or 2FA) without creating an account or committing to a subscription. Ideal for short-lived automation tasks requiring a throwaway number. Prefer this over VoIP services that may be blocked by major platforms, and when pay-per-use USDC billing via x402 is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'days' value (must be 1 or 7) returns a 400 validation error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance causes x402 payment error before number is provisioned
- No available US numbers in pool returns a 503 or capacity error
- Expired rental — attempting to use the orderId after expiresAt returns a 404 or expired-order error

## How this service works
