Two ways to keep your real number to yourself. A SECOND NUMBER FOR YOUR VERIFICATION CODES Rent a real US or Canadian phone number and keep it for as long as you subscribe. Use it to sign up for WhatsApp, TikTok, DoorDash and most other apps — the code arrives in the app, with one tap to copy it. - Works with WhatsApp, TikTok, DoorDash and most other apps - Codes and texts from US and Canadian senders land in the app, organised by sender - Send texts back to Canadian numbers, so the messages you receive become a two-way conversation - Switch to a fresh number in the same area code whenever you need, for a few credits - Choose a US or Canadian city - Makes and takes calls: 100 minutes a month of outgoing calls to the US and Canada, plus 50 more countries paid from your credits — incoming calls ring in the app and never touch those minutes WHAT THIS NUMBER DOES NOT DO YET Sending texts to numbers outside the US and Canada, and receiving texts from outside the US and Canada, are not available. Some platforms refuse virtual numbers — if a code doesn't arrive, switch your number. TEMPORARY NUMBERS FOR VERIFICATION CODES Some sign-ups only need a code once. Pick the service and the country, get a working number, and the code appears in the app the moment it lands. - 380+ services across 69 countries - Where the network publishes a delivery rate, you see it before you spend anything, so you can choose with your eyes open - Pay with credits, only for what you use - No code within 8 minutes and your credits are returned automatically A TEMPORARY E-MAIL ADDRESS Need an address rather than a number? Get a disposable inbox on a real consumer domain and read the code in the app. Your first address is free; the vSMS Mail plan adds a generous daily allowance of addresses. HOW CREDITS WORK Credits are bought in packs and spent per number. Prices vary by service and country because our own cost does. Credit packs never renew on their own, and anything that fails is refunded without you asking. WHAT WE DO NOT DO We do not sell your data, show ads, or ask for your contacts. Sign in with Apple or an e-mail address is all the account you need. A number you rent is yours alone for as long as you keep it. PLEASE NOTE A rented second number cannot reach 911 or any other emergency service. Always use your phone's own number for emergencies. Some services block temporary numbers, and where that happens a code may not arrive - your credits come back when it does not. Subscriptions renew monthly or yearly until cancelled. Manage or cancel in your Apple ID settings at any time. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BeSwift at none against vSMS's 3. BeSwift also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). vSMS's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
