Temporary numbers

Virtual numbers

Rent a number you keep for days or months. Use it across services and read every message that arrives in your inbox.

When is a temporary number useful?

Sign-ups

Signing up without handing over your number

Create an account on a marketplace, forum or trial without giving away the number your bank and your family use.

Privacy

Keeping your real number out of databases

A number used once cannot follow you into a marketing list, a resold contact file or the next data breach.

Testing

Testing your own SMS flow

Developers and QA teams verify onboarding, one-time codes and delivery from countries they do not live in.

Second account

Running a second account cleanly

Keep a work profile separate from a personal one where a service insists on one number per account.

Travel

Verifying while you are abroad

Confirm a local delivery or ride-hailing account without buying a SIM card you will use for two days.

Talk to support

One balance pays for a temporary number and a virtual number

Real carrier numbers

Numbers come from mobile operators rather than VoIP ranges, which is why services accept them.

Refunded if no code

If the SMS never arrives, the activation is cancelled and your balance is returned automatically.

Live prices

Prices come straight from the providers, so the figure you see is the figure you pay.

Nothing tied to you

No personal phone number, no ID and no card details are needed to receive a verification code.

One balance

Top up once and spend it on any product, in any country, with no subscription and no expiry.

Support that answers

Reach a person on Telegram or by email when an activation does not go to plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Short answers. Longer ones in the Help Center.

How quickly will I receive SMS verification codes?

Most SMS messages arrive within 1-3 minutes after you purchase a number. Our system is optimized for fast delivery, ensuring you can complete your verification quickly and efficiently. Real-time notifications keep you updated the moment your code arrives.

Which services and apps can I verify with these numbers?

We support thousands of services including WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, Google, Twitter, TikTok, Amazon, Binance, Discord, and many more. If you don't see your specific service listed, you can select 'Other' and the number will still work for verification.

What's the difference between activations and rentals?

Activations are perfect for one-time verifications - use the number once to receive a single SMS code. Rentals allow you to keep a number active for 1 to 30 days, perfect for receiving multiple messages, managing accounts, or when you need ongoing access. You can extend rentals anytime from your dashboard.

Which countries are available?

We offer virtual phone numbers from over 190 countries worldwide, including USA, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Australia, and many others. Select your preferred country from our comprehensive list to get a local number for that region.

What happens if I don't receive the SMS or the code doesn't work?

If you don't receive the SMS within 20 minutes, you automatically get a full refund to your account balance. You can then try a different number. We also provide replacement numbers when needed, ensuring you always get your verification code successfully.

Do I need a physical SIM card or special equipment?

No equipment needed! Our numbers use real SIM cards hosted on our infrastructure. Everything works online through your 1001SMS dashboard. Just purchase a number, use it for verification, and receive SMS messages instantly in your inbox.

Is my personal information and data secure?

Yes, your privacy and security are our top priorities. We store only the essential information needed to run your account, and we never share your SMS messages with third parties. We recommend enabling 2FA and using a strong password for added security.

Can I use the same number for multiple services?

Yes, with rental numbers you can use the same number for multiple services during the rental period. However, some services may have restrictions on reusing numbers. For one-time activations, each number is typically used for a single verification.
