Buy Number
vonage.buy_number
ActionVoice & SMSconnection required
Calls the Vonage API with the connection's credentials.
Rent one of the available numbers for this account. Vonage answers with a status envelope rather than an HTTP error, so a refusal is surfaced as a failed step with its code and label.
