What is a temporary SMS number?
A temporary SMS number lets you receive a verification code (OTP) without giving out your personal number. Use one for a few minutes as a disposable activation, or rent one for ongoing access. Either way, your real number stays private — off signup databases and out of the spam pipeline. Coverage spans 200+ countries and 1,500+ platforms.
Private by default
Keep your personal SIM off signup databases and spam lists.
200+ countries
Local routes worldwide for regional unlocking and QA.
Pay as you go
Top up with USDT. No monthly fees or locked packages.
Instant auto-refunds
No code in the window? Cancel and the balance returns.
When you might need a temporary SMS number
- Pass verification on apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Google without exposing your personal SIM.
- Keep your real number private — off marketplaces, dating apps, and data-broker lists.
- Cut SMS spam: a dedicated number absorbs marketing texts after signups.
- Separate accounts: run a second WhatsApp, Telegram, or Google line without a second phone.
- Automate at scale: order numbers from the BuddySMS desk or upcoming REST API for QA and signup flows.
Why temporary numbers?
Keep personal SIMs private. BuddySMS assigns a temporary number and delivers the OTP straight to your inbox.
Legacy friction
Personal / VoIP only
- Exposes your real number
- VoIP routes often blocked
- Hard to re-verify later
- Spam follows every signup

What customers say
Early users on the BuddySMS soft launch.
“We burn through Google and Slack OTPs in staging. BuddySMS inbox is the first one our testers actually wait on.”
“Country stock is visible before I pay. That alone beats half the boards I used last year.”
“I keep my personal SIM off every new signup. The rental slot is what I use when an app pings twice.”
“Top up with USDT, run verifications, done. No KYC friction for prepaid OTP work.”
What to know before you buy
Direct answers for users evaluating temporary numbers for SMS verification.
Are these real SIM cards or VoIP numbers?+
BuddySMS sells temporary numbers for OTP verification (activations and rentals). Numbers are assigned from BuddySMS stock; OTPs arrive in your BuddySMS inbox. Browse routes and prices in the catalog before you buy.
How fast do SMS verification codes arrive?+
Typical delivery target is under 60 seconds after the app sends the message. If a code does not arrive, cancel the activation before the window ends — eligible empties are refunded to your BuddySMS balance automatically.
Which apps and countries are supported?+
BuddySMS covers 1,500+ services across 200+ countries in the catalog, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Google, Instagram, Discord, TikTok, Binance, Apple, and more. Browse prices and stock without signing up.
Do I need an account before checking prices?+
No. You can browse services, countries, stock, and prices before creating an account. Sign up only when you are ready to top up and buy.
Disposable vs rental?+
Activations last about 20 minutes and are meant for a single code. Rentals keep the same number for hours or weeks so you can re-verify later.
Can developers use BuddySMS?+
Yes. Create API keys in the dashboard and use the REST-style examples in the docs for order, status, and cancel flows. Keys in this soft launch are display-oriented until the public HTTP API is fully wired.
What payment methods are accepted?+
New accounts get $5 trial credit to buy a number and receive OTPs. Crypto top-ups are not live yet. No subscription — pay only for activations and rentals you use.
