What is a virtual phone number?

It is a normal phone number without the SIM card. The number lives with a phone network in its country, and texts and calls travel to you over the internet. So a German number can ring in Tokyo, and a US number can catch a code while you are in Lisbon. Anyone who texts or calls it just sees a number from that country.

  • No SIM, no second phone

    Use it from your dashboard on any phone or computer with internet.

  • Unlimited texts

    Receive codes and messages, and reply from the same number, both ways.

  • Unlimited calls

    Make and take calls with no per-minute charge. The plan price covers it.

  • Renews automatically

    Paid from your balance, with a 3-day grace period if it runs short.

  • Yours to keep

    It stays yours while the plan renews, with a 3-day grace period if your balance runs short, so you can build real accounts on it.

  • No SIM, no shop

    Set up online in minutes and run it from anywhere over the internet. No SIM registration, no counter, no handset needed.

Will apps accept a virtual number?

Most sign-ups do. A few kinds of app are strict, and it is better to know before you pay. Here is the honest picture, by type of app.

Shops and marketplaces Usually worksSign-ups and buyer chats.Social media Usually worksMost platforms cap accounts per number.Messaging apps Varies by appSome reject virtual numbers by policy.Dating apps Varies by appSome turn down reused numbers.
Email and big tech accounts Varies by appChecks differ from app to app.
Banks and payment apps Often strictOften want a number in your name.

No provider can promise every app accepts every number, and app policies change. For accounts you will log into again, keep your virtual number rather than using a one-time code, so later login codes still reach you.

Setting up WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal? Read our guide to virtual numbers for messaging apps first. For codes in general, see using a virtual number for verification.

How to choose a virtual number provider

Whoever you buy from, these six checks tell a number you can rely on from one that lets you down.

  1. 1

    It sends texts, not just receives them

    Some cheap numbers are receive-only. If you need to reply, check for two-way texts.

    Receive-only vs two-way
  2. 2

    Calls are included

    Many plans charge per minute or have no calling at all. Know what a call costs before you rely on it.

    Second number options
  3. 3

    You keep the number

    Free and temporary numbers get recycled. For accounts you will log in to again, you need a number that stays yours.

    Temporary vs kept numbers
  4. 4

    It is honest about app acceptance

    No provider can promise every app accepts a virtual number. Be wary of any that does.

    Safe and legal use
  5. 5

    It has the country you need

    A local number works best when it matches the market you deal with.

    Browse by region
  6. 6

    It respects your privacy

    Many providers want your ID, a card and an email. Decide how much of that you want to hand over.

Virtual phone numbers, answered

What is a virtual phone number?+

A real phone number that is not tied to a SIM card. It works over the internet, so you send and receive texts and make and take calls from your dashboard, from anywhere. People who call or text it see a normal number from that country.

How do I buy a virtual number?+

Top up a balance with crypto, pick a country, and choose monthly or yearly. The number is set up automatically, usually within minutes, and appears in your dashboard with its inbox.

Can I get a phone number without a SIM card?+

Yes. That is exactly what a virtual number is. You need no SIM, no second phone and no shop visit. Your dashboard works on any phone or computer with internet.

Does a virtual number work with WhatsApp and other messaging apps?+

Often, but not always. Many services accept a virtual number for sign-up, while some messengers, big tech accounts and banks reject virtual numbers by policy. We never promise that every app will accept one, and a rejected number is not refundable, so check our messaging apps guide first.

Are texts and calls included?+

Yes. Texts and calls are unlimited, both ways, with nothing charged per message or per minute.

Do I need ID or a local address?+

No. Everything is set up online and paid in crypto, with no ID and no SIM registration. Your account is a private account number, with no email or personal details.

Is the number mine to keep?+

Yes, while the plan renews. It renews from your balance automatically. If the balance runs short there is a 3-day grace period, after which the number is suspended and later released.

Monthly or yearly: which is better?+

Yearly costs less per month in most countries, and the table on this page shows the saving. Monthly suits a short project or a trial. You can hold numbers in several countries at once.

Only need one verification code?+

Use an SMS activation instead. It catches a single code for a one-time price and refunds you automatically if no code arrives. For accounts you will log in to again, a number you keep is safer.

Which country do you need?

Pick your country, pay in crypto, and start texting and calling. No card, no ID, no SIM.
