Are these real SIM cards or VoIP numbers?

Real physical SIM cards from licensed mobile operators in EU, US, UK, Asian and LatAm countries. VoIP numbers from providers like Twilio and Google Voice are routinely blocked by WhatsApp, Telegram, Tinder, and most major services — VirtualSMS numbers pass those checks because they originate on real cellular networks.

How fast is delivery?

Most SMS arrive within 30-60 seconds of the service sending the verification code. If the SMS does not arrive within 20 minutes the activation is auto-refunded to your VirtualSMS balance — no dispute, no support ticket.

What payment methods are accepted?

Crypto via NOWPayments — USDT (TRC-20, ERC-20), BTC, ETH, LTC, BNB and more. No KYC, no phone number required from you. Card payments are intentionally not offered for privacy reasons.

How many countries and services are supported?

145+ countries with live SIM inventory and 2500+ services with per-country pricing. The supported list is published on the services page and country index, both kept in sync with live inventory.

Do I need an account?

No account is needed to view free shared numbers at /free-numbers. For dedicated private numbers — required for WhatsApp, Telegram, and any service that flags shared numbers — create a free account, top up with crypto, and start renting.

Is there an API for developers and AI agents?

Yes. Full REST API at /docs covering rent, activate, poll, cancel, and refund. AI agents can use the VirtualSMS MCP Server for one-install integration with Claude, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible clients.

Which Italy carriers we run

Italy Chime activations come from a mix of tier-1 mobile networks and the MVNOs that diaspora communities lean on for cheap international rates. The pool rotates with stock — right now you're likely to get a SIM from TIM, Vodafone Italia, WindTre, Iliad or one of the MVNO brands that ride those same networks: Fastweb, PosteMobile, ho. Mobile, Kena Mobile, Very Mobile, CoopVoce, Spusu. All real mobile-network SIMs, not VoIP. Chime's anti-VoIP detection (the same check that rejects Google Voice and Twilio numbers) sees these as regular Italy mobile lines because that's what they are.

Chime verification with Italy numbers — FAQ

Are these real Italian SIM cards or virtual numbers?

Real physical Italian SIM cards from carriers like TIM, Vodafone Italia, WindTre, Iliad, and Fastweb, plus widely-used MVNOs (PosteMobile, ho. Mobile, Kena Mobile, Very Mobile, CoopVoce, Spusu) that ride on those same networks. Numbers come from the same operator pools your local contacts use, so they pass network-detection checks where VoIP numbers fail.

Will Italian numbers work for WhatsApp, Telegram, and Subito verification?

Yes. WhatsApp, Telegram, Subito, Postepay, and 2500+ other services accept Italian +39 numbers. WhatsApp typically verifies in under 30 seconds. If a particular service rejects the number, balance is auto-refunded within 20 minutes.

How long do Italian numbers stay valid?

Activation numbers (single SMS receipt) hold for 20 minutes. Long-term rentals (4h, 24h, 7d, 30d) hold for the full window. Both use real Italian carrier networks.

Do you support TIM, Vodafone Italia, Fastweb, plus MVNOs like PosteMobile, ho. Mobile, and CoopVoce?

Yes. Inventory rotates across Italy’s major carriers — TIM, Vodafone Italia, WindTre, Iliad, Fastweb — plus popular MVNOs (PosteMobile, ho. Mobile, Kena Mobile, Very Mobile, CoopVoce, Spusu), depending on real-time stock. The buy page shows the current carrier breakdown.

Is KYC required to use an Italian number?

No. VirtualSMS does not require ID, address, or any documentation to activate or rent an Italian number. Pay with USDT, USDC, BTC, LTC, SOL, or DOGE via NOWPayments. Italian carriers manage their own KYC at the network level — that is not your concern.

What's the refund policy if an Italian number doesn't receive SMS?

Auto-refund. If the SMS does not arrive within 20 minutes of activation, your balance is credited automatically. No support ticket needed.

Are these real Italy SIM cards for Chime?

Yes — real physical Italy SIM cards on actual carrier networks (+39), not VoIP. Chime verification systems pass these consistently because they look identical to a regular Italy mobile number to Chime's detection.

How fast does the SMS code arrive on a Italy number for Chime?

Most Chime verification codes arrive in under 30 seconds on our Italy numbers. If no code is received within 20 minutes, the order is automatically refunded to your VirtualSMS balance.
