Not receiving local phone numbers?

When choosing a local phone number, you should first make sure you have location services enabled for Pinger. Otherwise, you will be presented with a list of numbers at random (not necessarily in the area code that you desire).

Please note: Local numbers only apply to US-based numbers.
