The three CTAs are `display:contents` at mobile, which makes them direct flex items of this column and lets the trust line sit between them via `order`. At >=768px the wrapper reverts to a block and the inner row to a flex row, which is the desktop layout unchanged: three CTAs on one line, trust line below. --> Find a Number How It Works ★ 4.8 on Trustpilot · Codes from $0.05 · Private rentals from $0.25/day 30-60s Delivery Auto-Refund API + MCP 24/7 Access +49 151 23456789 Service **WhatsApp** Country **Germany**_Waiting for SMS ◷ Number rental +49 151 23456789 Country **Germany** Remaining **7 days** Inbox **2 recent messages** __Same number · ongoing access Proxy connection Germany Endpoint **••••••••••••:••••** Username **••••••••••••** Password **••••••••••••** __Endpoint ready to copy ______ ◇ Private workspace × + ‹ › accounts.example.com/verify ⋮ ACCOUNT VERIFICATION ### Verify your number Enter the code sent to your phone.

Pick the cheapest route that works for you. ### Top Up When Ready Pay via crypto or SBP, only when you're ready to buy. No subscription. ### Receive Your Code Codes arrive in seconds. No SMS? Your balance is refunded automatically. ## What is a temporary SMS number? A temporary SMS number is a real, carrier-issued mobile number you use to receive a verification code (OTP) without giving out your personal number. VoIP and virtual numbers from Twilio or Google Voice are increasingly rejected by WhatsApp, Telegram, and Google. VirtualSMS numbers run on real mobile carriers, so they pass the line-type checks that block cloud numbers. Use one for a few minutes as a disposable number for a single signup, or rent one privately for weeks for ongoing account access. Either way, your real number stays off the service's database and out of the spam and data-broker pipeline. Coverage spans 145+ countries and 2,500+ platforms, with codes delivered automatically. ### Real non-VoIP SIMs Carrier-issued mobile SIMs that pass line-type checks for high deliverability. ### 145+ countries Local numbers from top-tier carriers worldwide for regional unlocking. ### Pay as you go No subscriptions. Top up via crypto or SBP and pay only for what you use. ### Instant auto-refunds If the code doesn't arrive in minutes, the activation is cancelled and refunded. ### When you might need a temporary SMS number - Pass strict verification : receive OTPs on apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Tinder that silently reject VoIP and virtual numbers. - Keep your real number private : don't hand your personal number to every signup, marketplace, or dating app. Keep it off public databases and data-broker lists. - Cut the SMS spam : a dedicated number absorbs the marketing texts and spam that follow most signups. - Separate your accounts : run a second WhatsApp, Telegram, or Google account without buying a second phone. - Automate at scale : order numbers programmatically via REST API or MCP for AI agents, QA testing, and signup flows. ## Why Physical SIM Cards?

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 Lithuania 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 Norway Trustpilot “ Top service. Message came fast. ” Matas St. Lithuania Trustpilot “ 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 United Kingdom Trustpilot “ 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. ” Marcus Germany · Developer “ 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. ” Daniil Kazakhstan “ Needed a TikTok account from a different region. Used a Lithuanian number.

[Ask on Telegram](https://t.me/VirtualSMSioBot) Updated 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.
