Virtual numbers & SMS — popular questions
What is a virtual number for SMS?
A virtual number is a real phone number you rent to receive SMS verification codes online, without a physical SIM card. It is used to sign up for and verify accounts on services that require phone confirmation.
How does receiving SMS online work?
You choose a service and country, get a temporary number, and any incoming verification SMS appears in your dashboard in real time. You then enter the code on the site you are registering with.
Which services and countries are supported?
We cover 700+ services and 140+ countries. Availability and price depend on the service and country and are shown before you order.
How fast do codes arrive?
Most codes arrive within seconds to a couple of minutes after the service sends them. If a code does not arrive, you can request another number.
Can I rent a number long-term?
Yes. Besides one-time activations, you can rent a number for a longer period to receive multiple messages from the same service.
How much does SMS activation cost?
Prices start from $0.02 per activation and vary by service and country. The exact price is shown in your dashboard before purchase.
