Help center

BuddySMS is live for number purchases and OTP delivery to your inbox. New accounts get $5.00 trial credit so you can buy a number while crypto top-ups are not live.

If no SMS arrives: wait 10–20 seconds after the app sends, try resend once, then cancel the activation. The cost returns to your BuddySMS balance. Support: hello@buddysms.com

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.
