Frequently asked Questions

How does a service like SMS-Activate for receiving SMS to virtual numbers operate?

We have our own equipment that holds the SIM cards and our own software that we use to provide mobile numbers to customers to receive messages. When a customer sends a message to an acquired mobile number, it comes to the SIM card. Our software transmits it in the interface of our service.

What is a virtual number?

This is an online mobile number that can be used without a SIM card. In our case, it is a mobile number that only belongs to our service for activation using text messages and can only accept incoming messages.

Where can I use my virtual mobile numbers?

Normally, SMS activation services (such as SMS-Activate) are used to register on social networks (VK, OK, Facebook, Instagram), confirm messengers (Telegram, WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat), and emails (Yandex, Mail.ru, Gmail, Yahoo). They are also used for other websites and services (like Yula, AUTO.RU, Twitter, SEOsprint, Steam, Uber, Gett, Microsoft, Tinder). Besides, temporary fake mobile numbers may be used for online reception of one-time personal messages so that you can “fly under the radar” and buy no SIM card for one-time use.

Will I be given a SIM card with a virtual number linked to it?

Our service is designed so that you do not have to use a SIM card yourself. You just use the mobile number that you have acquired online without a SIM card. It is displayed in your personal account interface. This interface also displays the text messages sent to this mobile number with activation and confirmation codes.

Will someone access my number when I stop renting it?

The numbers that are purchased through our service are disposable and cannot be reused by our clients after the order time has expired. Numbers are issued exclusively to one person. However, it is important to remember that the telecom operator can reissue SIM cards (the same thing happens with regular citizen numbers) two to three months after the number is inactive and give them to its new customers, so we advise you not to link payment methods or store important data on the add account 2FA or other security measures.

What is a short-rent mobile number (to receive messages from one website)?

If you select this tariff, you get a virtual number for a short time from 10 minutes to 1 hour. The exact time depends on the selected country. Short-term rental allows you to receive an unlimited number of SMS messages for the allocated time and only from a single selected website or app.

What happens if I cannot receive SMS?

If a message does not arrive at the temporary number you ordered (this can happen for various reasons, for example, the sending site delayed sending or the issued number had a failure), you can close the phone number and order another, money from your balance in this case is not debited will be.

What can I do if I don't receive a text message?

If there is no message on the temporary number you have ordered (it may happen for many reasons, for example, the sending website delayed sending or the number has failed), you can deactivate the phone number and the funds will return to the balance so that you can order a new virtual mobile number.

Can I test your service for receiving messages for online activation?

Sure. To do so, we have a special module with temporary free numbers for one-time text message reception on this webpage. These numbers are public, so they may already be used in some popular services. However, unlike most activation services, we update free numbers every day.
