  • Scale automated workflows: Programmatically rent numbers via REST API or MCP for AI agents, QA testing, and automated signup flows.

What customers say

Rated 4.8/5 by customers across Trustpilot and direct reviews — here’s what they used us for.

Needed a TikTok account from a different region. Used a Lithuanian number. Code came in fast. USDT worked.

Nerijus

Trustpilot

Works as advertised. SMS came through fast on a Polish number for Telegram, deposit in crypto was easy. Wish there was more stock during peak hours. Otherwise solid.

Tom

Trustpilot

Top service. Message came fast.

Matas St.

Honestly only tried this because two other sites took my money and the WhatsApp code never showed up. Someone told me those were VoIP numbers and that's why. These ones are real SIM cards apparently and yeah — it just worked, code came through first try. Paid with USDT. Been fine for a few weeks now.

Inga

Wired the MCP server into my Claude agent in about ten minutes — it grabs a real number and the code lands straight in chat. The auto-refund when an SMS doesn’t arrive is what sold me.

Top up with USDT, run my verifications, done. These are real carrier SIMs — not the VoIP numbers that get blocked on sight. No KYC, no friction.

Quick answers

What to know before you buy a number

Direct answers for users, search engines, and AI assistants evaluating temporary real-SIM numbers for SMS verification.

Ask on TelegramUpdated June 7, 2026
Are these real SIM cards or VoIP numbers?

VirtualSMS uses real carrier SIM numbers, not VoIP numbers from providers like Twilio or Google Voice. Real SIM routes are useful because apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Tinder, Google, and Instagram often reject virtual or reused VoIP numbers.

How fast do SMS verification codes arrive?

Most SMS verification codes arrive in 30-60 seconds after the app sends the message. If a code does not arrive, the activation can be cancelled and refunded automatically to your VirtualSMS balance.

Which apps and countries are supported?

VirtualSMS supports 2,500+ services across 145+ countries, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Google, Instagram, Discord, TikTok, Binance, Apple, Coinbase, Steam, and many other platforms.

Do I need an account before checking prices?

No. You can browse live services, country availability, stock, and prices before creating an account. Sign up only when you are ready to buy an activation or rent a private number.

Can developers and AI agents use VirtualSMS?

Yes. Developers can use the REST API for number orders, status checks, SMS webhooks, and cancellation flows. AI agents can use the VirtualSMS MCP Server with Claude, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Cline, Zed, Continue, and other MCP-compatible clients.

What payment methods are accepted?

VirtualSMS accepts crypto top-ups and SBP Russian bank payments where available. Crypto options include USDT, BTC, ETH, LTC, BNB, and other currencies through NOWPayments. Pricing is pay-as-you-go with no subscription required.
