## What is Receive SMS?

Keep your real phone number private every time an app asks you to verify it.

tempVerify gives you a virtual number that receives SMS verification codes online. Choose a country and service, open a session, and the code lands in a clean inbox you can copy in one tap. No SIM, no extra device, no giving your personal line to a website you just met.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose the service you are signing up for and a country.
2. A number is assigned to you instantly.
3. The verification code arrives in your inbox. Tap to copy, paste, done.

No code within 6 minutes? The attempt is refunded to your balance automatically. You are never stuck paying for a number that never delivered.

WHY PEOPLE USE IT

Stop handing out your real number.
Every signup form, marketplace listing, and trial account is one more place your personal number can leak. A virtual number keeps registration traffic away from the line your family and your bank use.

Cut the spam at the source.
The number you use once is the number that gets sold, resold, and dialled by robocalls for years. Use a temporary one and the spam never reaches you.

Separate work from personal.
Run a second account, list an item for sale, sign up for a trial, or register a business profile without mixing it into your everyday texts.

Verify on the platforms you actually use.
People use tempVerify to receive codes from messaging apps, social networks, email providers, dating apps, marketplaces, delivery services, and game platforms. Coverage varies by country and service, and availability is shown before you commit to a number.

Built for testers and teams.
Developers, QA engineers, and support staff use it to run signup and recovery flows repeatedly without burning personal devices or company SIM cards.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

This is not a second-line calling app. There is no voicemail to manage, no dialer, no monthly line to maintain. tempVerify does one job: getting a verification code to you quickly and privately, then getting out of the way.

- Numbers across many countries, with live availability
- One organized inbox, codes highlighted and copyable in a tap
- Automatic refund on attempts that never receive a message
- Clear session history so you can see what you verified and when
- Nothing to install on your SIM, nothing to configure

TYPICAL USES

- Registering an account without exposing your personal number
- Receiving a one-time code for login or account recovery
- Creating a separate profile for selling, trials, or testing
- Keeping verification texts out of your main message list
- Signing up from a country where a local number is required

BEFORE YOU START

Number availability changes constantly by country and service, and some services block virtual numbers entirely. The app shows what is available in real time so you always choose with current information, and unused attempts are returned to your balance.

Privacy matters here. Sessions are yours, codes are yours, and your real number is never part of the transaction.

Get your number, get your code, and get on with it.

### 1/5 — 虚假宣传，根本不能用

*2026-06-11*

此app虚假宣传，诱导付费后与其描述严重不符。
1，订阅一周，实际只能用一次，接受一条短信，账号点数就用完，必须再重新购买一次，在未付费前没有任何说明。让用户误认为在一周之中都可以使用此app提供的手机号接收短信。
2，app宣传未保护隐私，每个手机号使用一次后作废。但实际我用他提供的手机号注册Telegram时显示该手机号已被注册，但没有设置邮箱，我可以通过短信方式注销此账号但没有密码不能登录，在我接受这条还原短信后，此number 软件就显示我的点数用完，需要重新付费才能继续接收短信。并且再我继续尝试注册Telegram时，显示number软件向我提供的加拿大号码，在telegram里也是需要交费注册的。但在number软件的界面里明确有支持Telegram注册入口，我进入然后选择选着的加拿大手机号，但却不能注册。
