How to Receive SMS Verification Codes Online

Many apps verify new accounts with an SMS code. A virtual number lets you receive that code online.

Step by step

1. Choose a country and the service you want to register (Telegram, WhatsApp, Google, Instagram…).
2. Buy an activation number — the number appears in your order ticket.
3. Enter it in the app and request the code.
4. The SMS code is delivered to your ticket; type it into the app.

Tips

• Choose a rental number if you'll need codes again later.
• After registering, enable two-factor authentication with an authenticator app.
• Use numbers lawfully and in line with each app's terms.
