If the number is occupied.
We recommend checking the account occupancy before receiving the code, through the password recovery form or by directly trying to log in to the account with a password. Make sure the number is not occupied, and only then request the SMS code.
If during the check (by checker program or manually) the account is occupied, cancel the purchase. The funds will be automatically returned to your balance.
Refunds for the OLX service are not provided, including due to account occupancy, as this is related to the reissue of the SIM card by the mobile operator on which the profile was previously registered.

Temporary Number FAQ: Pricing, Legality, Reuse, Delivery & More
How do I use a temporary number for Gmail, Tinder, Uber, and other services?
Our non-VoIP phone numbers work seamlessly for receiving SMS verification codes from most online platforms, including Gmail, Tinder, and Uber. Simply choose a country and service, purchase a number, and enter it on the registration page. The SMS will appear in your dashboard. VoIP numbers often get blocked — ours are real mobile SIMs and work successfully.
Is it legal to use temporary virtual numbers?
Yes. Using temporary numbers for verification is legal. We operate within legal boundaries and strictly prohibit illegal use, as outlined in our Terms of Service. All numbers are provided by official telecom carriers.
Are these real mobile numbers or VoIP? Is it safe?
Yes, we use real SIM-based mobile numbers — not VoIP. That means you can pass verification on platforms that typically block virtual or internet-based numbers (like Google, WhatsApp). These numbers are not blacklisted and are treated like standard mobile numbers.
Do you offer free numbers?
Yes, we offer free public numbers for testing. These are refreshed daily and may already be used for services like WhatsApp or Telegram. For a clean, private verification — we recommend purchasing a private number starting at just $1. You only pay for successful SMS reception, and failed attempts are not charged.
How long is a number active?
Typically, each number is active for 20 minutes. If you don’t receive an SMS within this time, the session will expire and you won’t be charged. Some services require you to act fast — their codes expire in just 10 minutes.
Can I use the same number multiple times?
No. Most of our numbers are one-time use and can receive only a single SMS. After that, the number is deleted and cannot be reused. However, during the 20-minute window, it can receive multiple messages from the same service.
What if the SMS doesn’t arrive?
If no code arrives, you can cancel the number and get a new one at no extra cost. Our system automatically refunds failed attempts. Some services are more sensitive, and it may take 2–3 tries to succeed.
What if the site says "this number is already used" or doesn’t send a code?
This means the number has already been used on that platform — it’s “burned.” While we try to avoid this, it can happen. Just cancel and try another number. You may also switch to a different country or wait for a new batch.
Can my account get banned for using a temporary number?
A temporary number alone won’t get you banned. But if your IP, device, or behavior violates a platform’s policy, they may block your account. Use a VPN or proxy that matches the number’s country and avoid spam-like actions. We’re not responsible for bans caused by user behavior.
Which countries offer the cheapest numbers?
Prices vary by country and demand. Generally, the cheapest options come from Asia, Eastern Europe, or Africa. Our rates start as low as $0.04 per SMS. You can view all prices and availability in real time on our platform.
Are there services that don’t accept temporary numbers?
Yes. Some banks, government platforms, and niche services don’t accept temporary or shared numbers. They may require a personal SIM-based contract. Some platforms also use VoIP filters — but our SIM-based numbers usually bypass them. If not, try a different country or a fresh number.
What if I need to receive a code again for 2FA or account recovery?
If you used a disposable number, you won’t be able to recover it. For repeat verifications, we recommend renting a dedicated number. It stays reserved for you during the selected time period and can receive future codes.
Do you offer rental numbers or numbers for multiple SMS?
Yes. You can rent a dedicated number from 1 day to several months. It’s reserved only for you and can receive multiple SMS messages, including 2FA and login codes. Perfect for long-term accounts and ongoing verifications.
Benefits of renting a temporary numbers
Unlike free SMS sites, we use clean, undetectable numbers with minimal blacklist exposure. That means your SMS arrives faster and your accounts are less likely to be flagged. You don`t have to go and buy a SIM card, you use the number you bought online without a SIM card, it is displayed in your personal account interface, and the SMS messages with activation codes received on the number also appear there. With SmsVerificationNumber, you don’t have to go and buy a SIM card — just use the online number directly in your account.
1. Online sim for receiving sms is given for 20 minutes for any website.
2. The number is given for free, you pay only for the received sms.
3. Only you have access to the rented number – it’s not shared with others.
4. If the temporary number you have ordered does not receive the message (this can happen for various reasons, for example, the sender's website has delayed sending or the issued number has a failure), you can close the phone number and order another, in this case the money from your balance will not be written off.
What is a disposable Phone Number?
