Live France numbers currently available in the free pool appear above. Activity shows SMS recorded during the last 24 hours.
VirtualSMS public numbers use shared inboxes that anyone can view. Messages are shown only after a number joins the free pool and are automatically deleted after 7 days. New messages usually appear within seconds. The activity count beside each number shows SMS received during the last 24 hours, not the number's lifetime history.
For private account verification, use a private verification number assigned to your order.
Try it first for a throwaway signup. It costs nothing and the inbox is public.
If the free number gets refused, this is the fix: the inbox is yours alone.

See rentalsA free France number is fine for a throwaway signup, a forum login or a quick test.
Its inbox is public, so everyone on this page reads the same messages. That makes it the wrong place for account verification, or for anything you want kept private. Numbers rotate too: one taking codes today can be archived tomorrow. When you need a number assigned to your order alone, a private French number on a physical carrier SIM is $0.05.
A shared number is a single line whose inbox is published on a web page. Nobody owns it for the duration of a verification, so several people can be pointing the same number at different signups at the same time.
You paste the number into the service you are registering with, ask it to send the SMS, then read the message on the page. There is no account and no confirmation step, which is exactly why the inbox has to be public.
The same line carries verification traffic for whoever finds it, until it is retired. That reuse is what platforms detect: a number already tied to an account cannot be used to open a second one.
| Free shared number | Private rented number Yours only | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | From $0.05 per verification |
| Who reads the SMS | Anyone with the page open | Only you |
| Already registered elsewhere | Usually, on the popular platforms | No, the number is issued to you |
| How long you keep it | Nothing is reserved for you | For the order or the rental period |
| Account needed | No | Yes, and a balance to spend |
| Works for WhatsApp, banking, 2FA | No | Yes |
The trade is privacy and acceptance against price. A shared number costs nothing and is read by strangers; a private one costs a few cents and is read by you.
Three things go wrong with a free shared number, and they are all the same problem: you do not control it. The inbox is public, so a login code sits in front of strangers. The number is shared, so you cannot see what it has already been used for, or who else is using it right now. And you cannot get it back next month, so any account attached to it is unrecoverable the day the number rotates. A private number on a physical carrier SIM fixes all three: it is assigned to your order alone, its inbox is visible only to you, and a rental holds the same number for 1 to 30 days so account recovery still works.
Anyone with the page open sees the same inbox you do, so a login code, a password reset or a 2FA prompt is effectively public for as long as it is on screen. Never point a recovery flow at a shared number.
A public number is shared and reused by design, and nothing on this page can tell you which services it has already been registered to or who else is using it right now. If a signup has to work the first time, that uncertainty is the problem.
A rented VirtualSMS number is on a physical carrier SIM and assigned to your order alone, so its inbox is visible to you and nobody else. That is live now across 145+ countries from $0.05 per verification.
Not right now. No free France number is in the pool today, though retired French numbers are listed above for reference. Numbers rotate back in as availability changes.
158 services can be verified on a private French number, from $0.05 per verification. A free public number is a different proposition: it is shared, its inbox is readable by everyone on this page, and you cannot see what it has already been signed up to.
+33. A French number is written in international form as +33 followed by the national number, which is the form to use when a service asks for your number with a country selector.
No. A public inbox is readable by every visitor to this page, so a login code, a password reset or a 2FA prompt sent to it is effectively public for as long as it is on screen. A private French number is assigned to your order alone and its inbox is visible only to you.
Seven days. Messages appear only after a number joins the free pool, and are deleted automatically after seven days, so the inbox is always a rolling recent window rather than an archive. A verification code is useless within about ten minutes of arriving in any case.
Sharing. A free number is public: the same inbox is open to everyone reading this page, and the number is not yours. A private French number on a physical carrier SIM is assigned to your order alone, its inbox is visible only to you, and a rental holds the same number for 1 to 30 days so account recovery still works. From $0.05 per verification.
