Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to our FAQ section, where you can find answers to the most commonly asked questions about our products and services.
How does the service for receiving SMS messages to virtual numbers operate?
We have our own equipment that holds the SIM cards and our own software that we use to provide mobile numbers to customers to receive messages. When a customer sends a message to an acquired mobile number, it comes to the SIM card. Our software transmits it in the interface of our service.
What happens if I cannot receive SMS?
If a message does not arrive at the temporary number you ordered (this can happen for various reasons, for example, the sending site delayed sending or the issued number had a failure), you can close the phone number and order another, money from your balance in this case is not debited will be.
What can I do if I don't receive a text message?
If there is no message on the temporary number you have ordered (it may happen for many reasons, for example, the sending website delayed sending or the number has failed), you can deactivate the phone number and the funds will return to the balance so that you can order a new virtual mobile number.
What is a virtual number?
This is an online mobile number that can be used without a SIM card. In our case, it is a mobile number that only belongs to our service for activation using text messages and can only accept incoming messages.
Where can I use my virtual mobile numbers?
Normally, using such mobile numbers for receiving text messages is used to register in social networks (VK, OK, Facebook, Instagram), confirm messengers (Telegram, WhatsApp, Viber, WeChat), and emails (Yandex, Mail.ru, Gmail, Yahoo). They are also used for other websites and services (like Avito, Yula, AUTO.RU, Twitter, SEOsprint, Steam, Uber, Gett, Microsoft, Tinder). Besides, temporary fake mobile numbers may be used for online reception of one-time personal messages so that you can “fly under the radar” and buy no SIM card for one-time use.
How long are the numbers active?
You usually have 20 minutes to verify your service after requesting a number.
There are some cases where it may take 5-10 minutes. The verification will timeout if you don't receive a code in that time. The payment is canceled if no SMS message is received. You only pay for successful activations.
Can I use the same number again?
No, we only offer one-time disposable numbers. You will no longer be able to access the number after receiving an SMS.
