### Answer
The verification process typically takes
1–2 weeks after you submit your business profile details. [(1) ](

Since you're at 7 days, you're still within the expected timeframe. However, this process is managed by the telephony provider, and Retell doesn't have direct control over the timeline.
## What You Can Do
If verification extends beyond 2 weeks: Contact Retell support at
support@retellai.com to check the status of your verification.
For testing your assistant now: You can use the
LLM Playground in the dashboard to prototype and debug your agent prompts without making live calls. Additionally, you can test via the Web SDK or browser-based testing tools while waiting for phone number verification.
