Is receiving SMS online really free?
Yes. Every number on this site is completely free to use. You don't need to sign up, pay, or enter your own phone number — just open a number and read the messages it receives.
How do I receive an SMS or verification code?
Choose a number with recent messages, request an SMS for your own account or an authorized test, then open that number's page. New messages appear automatically with detected codes highlighted. These inboxes are public, and delivery is not guaranteed.
Can I use these numbers for WhatsApp, Telegram or Google verification?
You can try. These public numbers often receive codes from services like Google, Telegram, WhatsApp, Tinder and more. Because they're shared, popular services may already have an account registered, so success varies — try a few numbers.
Are these numbers private?
No. They are public and shared, which is exactly why they're free. Anyone can read messages sent to them. Never use them for banking, your main email, or any account that matters. If you need a number that's only yours, SwiftSMS (swiftsms.net) sells private virtual numbers — single-use or dedicated — for verification.
How long do the numbers stay active?
Numbers rotate over time. When a number is retired it's replaced with a new one, so the list stays fresh. If a number stops receiving messages, just pick another.
