Steps to receive an SMS verification code

1
Create an account On the sign-up page choose a username of letters and numbers, enter a password of at least 8 characters twice, and add an email for account recovery.
2
Add funds Open Add funds and press Open payment window. Choose an amount from $50, then the coin and network you like (12 payment options). A bonus is added with every top-up.
3
Choose a country and a service On the order form, pick the country first, then a service available there. The price is for one number.
4
Enter the number in the app Copy the number from My numbers. In the app, choose the matching country code and paste the rest.
5
Read the code Ask the app to send the code. It appears on My numbers within the 20 minutes, together with any later codes.

What if the code is late?

Check that you chose the right country code in the app and that the number has no extra digits.
Wait about a minute, then use the app's resend button. Resent codes appear on the same number.
If nothing comes, cancel the number or let the time run out, then try a different country.

Tips for accounts you plan to keep

Add your own phone number or an authenticator app once you are signed in.
Save backup codes if the service offers them.
Use a different number for each account.

If no code arrives

After you get a number, it waits 20 minutes for codes. If nothing arrives, the number closes on its own and the full price returns to your balance. Canceling it yourself before a code arrives works the same way.

Within those 20 minutes, every code sent to the number shows up.

Numbers and codes FAQ

How long can I use a number?

20 minutes from the moment you get it. After that it is released and cannot receive new codes for you.

Can one number receive more than one code?

Yes. Every SMS for that service within the 20 minutes is shown, so a resent code appears too.

How fast do codes arrive?

That depends on the service sending it. Most apps let you resend after about a minute, and any code that arrives within 20 minutes is shown.

Which country should I choose?

One where the service is available, ideally matching the region of your account. After that, price decides; each service page shows every country's price.

Can I make calls or send SMS from the number?

No. Numbers receive SMS codes only.
