How to get an SMS verification code with a virtual number
From account key to first code in five steps.
Steps
- 01
Create an account key
The sign-up page makes one account key. It is your login, and the server keeps only a hash. Save it as a .txt file.
- 02
Top up your balance
Choose an amount on the wallet page. The smallest top-up is $10, added after the payment is confirmed.
- 03
Choose app and country
Use the price board, an app page or a country page. The order ticket shows the price before you buy.
- 04
Enter the number in the app
Copy the number from your dashboard into the phone field of the app and request the code.
- 05
Read the code
The SMS appears in your dashboard. No code within 20 minutes means the price returns to your balance.
If the SMS code does not arrive
- Another country
- Apps accept some countries more readily. A number without a code costs nothing.
- Number format
- Check that the dial code is not entered twice and whether the app wants the leading 0 removed.
- One resend
- Pressing resend many times can make an app pause the number. Wait 1~2 minutes and resend once.
Acceptable use
- Verify your own accounts and services you manage.
- Taking over other people's accounts, fraud, spam and illegal trade are not allowed.
- Numbers receive SMS only. Sending SMS and calls are not available.
