By using receive-sms.app you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please don't use the site.
What the service is
We aggregate publicly available temporary phone numbers and the SMS messages they receive, and present them in one place. We do not own the numbers, do not operate the underlying networks, and cannot guarantee that any given number is reachable, that a message will arrive, or that a code will still be valid when it does.
The numbers are public
Every number listed here is shared. Anyone can read messages sent to it. Use a number only when the sending service permits shared numbers, for your own request or an authorized test. Do not use public numbers for banking, government services, your primary email, healthcare, or sensitive accounts. Someone else may read an account-access or recovery code sent to a shared number.
Acceptable use
- Do not use the service for fraud, impersonation, harassment, spam, or to evade a ban or a legal obligation.
- Do not use shared numbers to evade identity or age verification, account limits, bans, or another service's terms, even if a verification message is technically delivered.
- Do not use codes requested by another person, access their accounts, impersonate them, or monitor them without authorization. A public message does not give you permission to use it.
- Do not scrape, mirror, or automate bulk requests against this site; the API endpoints are for the site's own pages.
- Do not attempt to disrupt the service or gain unauthorised access to any part of it.
Advertising
The site is free to browse and is supported by our team's other products, which pages link to. Google ad serving is currently paused. Some of those products are paid services. Purchases are made with the provider under its own terms; availability, acceptance and privacy must be checked with that provider.
No warranty
The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind. Numbers rotate, sources go offline, and messages can be delayed or missing. We do not guarantee availability, accuracy, or fitness for any purpose.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the service — including a lost account, an intercepted code, a missed message, or reliance on anything published here.
Intellectual property
The site's design, text and code are ours. Message content belongs to whoever sent it. Brand names and trademarks mentioned on the site belong to their owners; receive-sms.app is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the services whose codes appear here.
Removal requests
If a message published here contains your personal information, or you are a rights holder with a complaint, email contact@receive-sms.app with the number and the message and we will remove it.
Changes
We may update these terms; continued use after a change means you accept the new version.
