Once you are done, click on search. System will display the numbers matching your selection on the right. These are the numbers available for you to purchase. If you do not filter your selection criteria on the left, then the system will return all numbers in the database. Though you will never see the numbers purchased, Zimoby intelligently exclude already purchased number and the available numbers to buy are the unique numbers that match your selection criteria but which have not been previously purchased by you
- Once you are done, click on Purchase Now. You still have the opportunity to specify how many numbers to purchase out of the available numbers to buy.

- Advertisers may still send bulk messages to non geo-target markets. In this option, numbers purchased by advertiser are randomly selected from the database and may have no bearing to the product or service been offered by the advertiser. This option is attractive to advertisers who are indifferent to where their messages gets delivered. In order words, they are not interested in any geo-target market. As in geo-target numbers, non geo-target numbers are never revealed to the advertiser. Once advertiser purchases these numbers in the online store, they can send messages under Manage SMS in dashboard. Remember that the success of this campaign is not guaranteed and to compensate for this, you may need to purchase as many non geoo-target numbers as possible
Benefits:
Higher response to adverts especially those aimed at geo-target market .
