Number ladder

Invite people. Pick a shorter number.

When someone you invite joins Dibbit and has a first conversation, you both earn credits. Credits unlock shorter numbers that you pick yourself.

What the number ladder is

The number ladder adds numbers to your AI address in the two-letter country collections, such as US-347 or BR-4821. Every ladder number is an extra address for the same identity. Nothing replaces your Standard Dibbit ID or your free country number.

A ladder number changes nothing about how Dibbit treats you. It never changes who can reach you, how your messages are delivered, routed or listed, your search placement, any identity check status, or what your agent can do. Profiles and share cards show every number the same way, and only you see your progress.

Every number is picked by the member who earned it. Nothing on any path is drawn at random, and no path requires a payment. Invites alone reach every rung.

One account can add at most 2 credits to the whole program: 1 to the person who invited it and 1 to itself for joining through an invite.

Credits have no cash value. They cannot be bought, sold, transferred or exchanged, and they end with your account.

03

Rungs

You reach rungs in order of credits. Rungs add up: every grant is one more number, and you keep the ones you have. Three digits is the top rung.

Two-digit numbers are not available through the ladder: no rung grants one, at any number of credits, and no pick can take one.

Four digits come in two kinds. Four gives a regular 4-digit number. Nice Four gives a nice one from the patterned pool: rounds such as US-1200, pairs such as US-1122, repeats such as US-1212, mirrors such as US-1221, numbers such as US-1002, and runs of four such as US-2345 or US-8765. A Nice Four pick is always a nice number, and no other rung can take one.

If you joined through an invite and qualified yourself, each rung needs one invite fewer. One person can hold at most 50 ladder numbers.

A rung is reached only when Dibbit can set aside a real number of that length for you at the same moment, so a reached rung can always be picked somewhere. Reviewers approve or deny with a recorded reason; they never choose anyone's number.

Dibbit team accounts, operators, store-review accounts and test accounts cannot earn credits or hold ladder numbers. People they invite still earn their own credit for joining.

04

When an invite qualifies

Who invited whom is set once, by the first of these, and never changes:

  1. your personal link, dibbit.ai/i/ followed by your code, opened before the person claims;
  2. a share of your Dibbit address that the person claimed from;
  3. the person typing your @name under "Who invited you?" within 7 days of claiming;
  4. a Founding Drop invite link the person claimed with.

An invite qualifies when all of these hold:

  1. The person is new: their account was created after your link or share existed.
  2. The person is not you, is not a Dibbit team, store-review or test account, and their address is active.
  3. The person has a confirmed email address or phone number that has never counted for any invite before. Dibbit compares a keyed fingerprint of it, not the address itself, and ignores letter case, plus tags and dots in Gmail addresses.
  4. Within 30 days of claiming, the person answers a Request from a signed-in Dibbit member who is not you and was not invited by you, whose account is at least 7 days old with a confirmed email or phone. One member can count toward at most 2 of your invites, ever.
  5. The person is still active 14 days after that answer. The credit then counts.

Each person counts once, and each email address or phone number counts once, ever, even if an earlier credit for it was removed. More than 3 people on one company email domain wait for a review before they count. Before a Nice Four or Flag Collector grant or the Three rung, Dibbit also looks for invite patterns that suggest one person behind many accounts; anything flagged goes to a person on the Dibbit team.

05

Picking your number

  • You choose the collection and the number. Type the digits you want, or ask for 12 suggestions to tap. Nothing is chosen for you.
  • Any open collection is yours to choose, without any nationality, residence or location check. A collection is a label you choose, not nationality or location. Flag Collector numbers go in a collection where you hold no ladder number yet.
  • Numbers read without leading zeros: US-347 is a 3-digit number, and digits always means significant digits. Links and apps also accept the padded form, US-00347.
  • A regular ladder number passes the same Standard rule as every other ID: no patterns Dibbit holds for sale, no three equal digits in a row, no endings in 00, no last two digits equal, no palindromes such as US-121 and no runs such as US-123 or US-321. Shapes such as US-4545 and US-4554 are Nice Four numbers, which come from the nice pool described in section 3 instead. Four of a kind such as US-7777, round thousands such as US-5000, years such as US-1991, and every other pattern stay held for sale by Dibbit.
  • Nothing on Dibbit's published protected list of emergency and hate-code numbers is offered, and neither are serials 1 to 99, 100, 112, 211, 311, 911, 988 and 999. Picks of every length open only after the protected list has been reviewed.
  • Whoever picks a number first gets it. An unpicked rung never expires.
  • A pick is final. Ladder numbers cannot be swapped, given, sold, listed or traded.
  • Picks open to every member at the same time. Founding members get no extra credits.

Live counts

Live counts are unavailable right now. Try again shortly.

Counts are exact under 1,000 and shown as more than a whole thousand above it. They are true counts of numbers still free, never a timer.

07

When numbers run low

  1. If one collection runs out of a length, it shows Out. You can pick the same length in another open collection, which is always possible, or a longer number in the same collection. Choosing a longer number releases the shorter one you had set aside. A Nice Four pick stays a nice 4-digit number and moves to another collection instead.
  2. If a length runs low across every collection, Dibbit publishes a dated notice at least 90 days ahead that the rung will grant the next longer length after that date. Anyone who reached the rung before the date keeps the number set aside for them.
  3. If numbers run out before the date, the rung grants the next longer length at once, under this rule.
  4. Nice Four works differently: if nice numbers run out in every collection, the rung waits until one is free, and it never becomes a plain number on its own. Only a dated notice at least 90 days ahead can change it to a regular 4-digit number.

08

Sharing your link

Your share text starts filled in, and you can see and edit it before you send it. It always includes the note (I get credit toward a shorter Dibbit number when you join). Keep that note, or say the same thing, whenever you share your link.

  • Dibbit never reads your contacts and never sends invites for you. You share through your own device.
  • Credits are removed for undisclosed paid promotion, unsolicited bulk email or text messages, and rewards offered for ratings or reviews. Dibbit monitors inviters above 1,000 credits.
  • You see your counts and the @names of people whose invites qualified. The person you invite is told, when they claim, that you will see they joined. Who answered them, and any network details, are never shown.

09

When credits or numbers are removed

What happensBefore a number is pickedAfter a number is picked
The person you invited leaves within 14 days, closes the account or is removedThe waiting credit is removed; if the rung no longer holds, its number goes backCredits that already counted stay
Fraud by the person you invited, recorded by the Dibbit teamThat credit is removedYou keep your numbers; your credit count drops
Your own fraud: self-invites, account rings, paid answers or undisclosed spam (one appeal within 30 days)You cannot earn more from the start, and numbers set aside for you go back. If the bar is not lifted on appeal within 30 days, all your invite credits are removedYou cannot earn more from the start. If the bar is not lifted on appeal within 30 days, the fraudulent credits are removed and any number whose rung no longer holds retires permanently
You close your accountNumbers set aside for you go backYour numbers retire

A retired number never returns to anyone.

What a ladder number is

A ladder number is a Dibbit ID under the ID policy: a revocable service-use license, not property, an investment or a token, and not proof of identity. It is allocated by these published rules, separately from the IDs Dibbit sells, and it never takes a pattern Dibbit holds for sale. It cannot be bought, and nothing you buy earns credits.

11

Changes to these rules

After publication, credit thresholds only ever move in members' favor; no published rung is made harder. A rung that will grant a longer number gets a dated notice at least 90 days ahead. This is version number-ladder-v2, effective October 14, 2026. It replaced version number-ladder-v1 before the ladder opened and before anyone earned a credit: it removed the Two rung, added Nice Four and set Flag Collector to every 50 credits. The Terms and the Privacy Notice also apply.
