Built for one-time verification

Pay for the verification task, not a monthly phone plan

A phone number from an app is usually sold as an ongoing subscription. If your goal is to receive one verification code, a 20-minute rental is the simpler model.

One number, one user

The number is issued to one user for the 20-minute rental window.

Enough time to receive the code

The rental window is designed around a one-time signup or verification flow.

No code, automatic balance refund

If the verification code does not arrive, the money returns to your balance automatically.

FAQ

Common questions about temporary numbers

What is a temporary phone number for SMS verification?

It is a phone number rented for a limited time so you can receive a verification code without using your personal number.

How long do I get the number for?

The standard one-time verification rental lasts 20 minutes and is designed to give enough time to receive the code.

What type of number do I receive?

You receive a phone number from a mobile operator for the selected service and country, rather than a number created by a calling app.

What happens if the verification code does not arrive?

If the code does not arrive, the order expires and the money returns to your balance automatically.

Can I choose the country and service?

Yes. Choose the service first, then select from the countries where numbers are currently available.

Can a temporary number solve every verification problem?

No. A number will not solve identity checks, residency requirements, device bans, or recovery flows that require the phone number already linked to an existing account.

Is there a free option?

Free public numbers can work for local or less popular sites, but you may need to try several numbers. A 20-minute number is the faster option when you want one number issued to you for the verification attempt.
