What to look at
Does the text arrive, how many seconds does it take, and how do the message text and sender name show up?
Also confirm your phone input accepts that country's number length and format.
Spending less
A number that never got a code goes back to your balance after 25 minutes, so hunting for countries where delivery fails doesn't eat your budget.
Your own app won't be in the list. Choose "Other app" and get a number as usual.
Repeated test runs
If you need to sign up, log out and log back in on one number again and again, rent it. Every text during the period stays on record.
