In short

A virtual number receives SMS codes so your real number stays private.

What a virtual number does

A virtual number is a real local number that receives SMS in your dashboard instead of on a physical SIM. It is perfect for verifying sign-ups without exposing your personal number.

Pick the right option

For a single code, SMS activation lets you pay per message. For ongoing use, rent a number monthly or yearly and keep it as long as you like.

How to use it

Get a number that receives SMS, enter it on the site or app you are verifying, and read the incoming code in your SimVala dashboard. That is it.

Why pay in crypto

Paying with Bitcoin, Monero, or USDT keeps the purchase off your card and bank statement. One top-up funds many codes and numbers.

Get connected in minutes

Top up in crypto, buy a plan or a number, and connect. No card, no ID to buy.
