Dating apps, rideshare, food delivery, marketplaces, a rental gives each of them a real, working number that isn't tied to your identity, so your personal mobile stays out of it. Keep your personal number personal. - Private, dedicated inbox for the rental period - Real carrier SIM, accepted where VoIP is rejected Your real mobile +44 7••• ••• ••• hidden What the service gets +44 7•• ••• 917 works ### Renew before expiry, keep the same number Extending a rental before it expires keeps the exact same number active, no re-registering accounts on a new number. Miss the window and it returns to the pool. Use your rented number inside a private cloud browser → 1 Rental active 2 Extend anytime before expiry → same number 3 No extension → number released to the pool ## Who rents a dedicated number? Anyone who needs the same number more than once, for verification, signups, or keeping their real number out of it. ### Agencies & resellers A dedicated number per client or brand, each with its own private inbox, all run from one balance instead of juggling personal numbers. ### Marketers Verify ad accounts and run landing-page signups on a number built for the job, not your own mobile. ### Marketplace sellers A business number that's not your personal one, for listings, buyers, and account verification. ### Delivery & rideshare drivers Verify and manage driver accounts on a dedicated number, kept separate from your personal line. ### Developers & QA Test signup and OTP flows end to end with a live inbox, plus API and MCP access for automated runs. ### Privacy Keep your real number to yourself. Give out a rented one when a service needs it, extend it while you use it, let it go when you don't. ## One-time code vs a rental Receive SMS online for a single sign-up? A one-time verification code is cheaper and faster. Need the same number more than once? A rental keeps it yours. Number One-time code Shared, pooled number Rental Dedicated, only yours Messages One-time code One code, then released Rental Unlimited SMS while you keep it Duration One-time code Single use, gone in minutes Rental 1 day to 30+ days, extend anytime Reuse One-time code New number, new code, every time Rental Reuse the same number across logins | One-time code | Rental | | --- | --- | | Number | Shared, pooled number | Dedicated, only yours | | Messages | One code, then released | Unlimited SMS while you keep it | | Duration | Single use, gone in minutes | 1 day to 30+ days, extend anytime | | Reuse | New number, new code, every time | Reuse the same number across logins | Perfect for WhatsApp & Telegram Marketplaces Dating apps Delivery & rideshare Business use Dev & testing ## Frequently asked questions How is a rental different from a one-time verification code? A one-time code is a shared, pooled number released right after use. A rental is a dedicated number only you use for the rental period, with a private live SMS inbox, good for accounts that need ongoing SMS access, not just a single signup. What happens when my rental expires? The number is released back into the pool once the rental period ends. Extend before expiry if you want to keep receiving SMS on the same number. Can I extend or renew a rental? Yes, extend anytime before expiry to keep the same number active for a further period, instead of losing it and starting a new rental. What's the refund window? Rentals are not automatically refunded. You can cancel a rental for a refund to your account balance within 20 minutes, only if no SMS has arrived. A refund is unavailable once the first SMS arrives or more than 20 minutes have passed. A Full Access number replacement starts a fresh cancellation window of 20 minutes for the new number; the no-SMS condition still applies. Platform service rentals have a two-minute wait before cancellation. Which services can I use with a rental? Full Access rentals work with any service on a dedicated number. Platform Rental is scoped to one specific service (e.g. just Telegram) on that number, at a lower price point. Is my rental inbox private? Yes, a rental is dedicated to you for its duration. Unlike a one-time code, nobody else's messages land in your inbox during the rental period. Can I get the same number back after it expires? Not guaranteed, once a rental ends, that number returns to the shared pool and may be reassigned. Extending before expiry is the only way to keep the exact same number. How do I pay for a rental? Crypto (BTC, USDT, ETH, LTC) or cards, from a $2 minimum top-up, no subscription, no monthly fee. Can I run multiple rentals at once? Yes, rentals are independent; run as many concurrent dedicated numbers as your balance covers. What if the country or service combo I want is out of stock? Join the waitlist for that specific combination, it registers your interest so restocked inventory can be prioritized, and lets you browse every other live country and service in the meantime. Is a rental a temporary number or a long-term number? Both. Full Access rentals run from a single day up to 30 days as a temporary number, and you can extend before expiry as many times as you like to turn it into a long-term number without ever changing the digits. How is this different from a virtual number I keep in an app forever? Unlike a permanent virtual number tied to a single app account, a VirtualSMS rental is a real carrier-SIM number you control directly, extend it for as long as you need it, or let it release back to the pool when you're done. No dashboard lock-in on our end. Do I need an account to browse rental prices? No, every country, tier, and price on this page is visible without logging in. You only need an account to actually rent a number. ## One balance. Four tools. Virtual SMS is an account verification platform for individuals, businesses, developers, and AI agents.
