WowText gives you a real, dedicated US phone number in seconds — no SIM card, no contract, no second phone. Receive verification codes, take incoming calls, and make outgoing calls without ever sharing your personal number. Please note: WowText receives text messages. It does not send them. Calling works in both directions. WHY GET A SECOND PHONE NUMBER? • Receive SMS verification codes for apps, websites, and online accounts • Keep your real number private on marketplaces, classifieds, and dating apps • Take calls on a separate line for business or a side hustle • Stay reachable on a US number while travelling or living abroad • Sign up for services without handing over your personal line RECEIVE VERIFICATION CODES Your WowText number is a genuine 10-digit US phone number, so it receives one-time passcodes from most services that send SMS. Codes are detected automatically, so you can copy them with a single tap. MAKE AND TAKE CALLS Every plan receives incoming calls over WiFi or mobile data. The Calls plan adds 20 minutes of outgoing calls to the United States and Canada each month, and you can top up whenever you need more. A REAL NUMBER, NOT A SHORTCODE People can call it, text it, and save it in their contacts. They don't need WowText installed. No special setup on either end. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your personal number stays hidden. Your WowText number is dedicated to your account for as long as your plan is active. It is never shared with another user and never recycled while you hold it. FAST SETUP Download WowText Choose your US phone number Start receiving codes and calls PLANS • Standard — $6.99/month. Receives verification codes, texts and calls. • Calls — $10/month. Everything in Standard, plus 20 minutes of outgoing calls to the US and Canada. GOOD TO KNOW WowText numbers receive codes from most apps and websites. A few services do not accept virtual numbers for verification, including WhatsApp and Telegram. You can check your service inside the app before you buy. Outgoing calls reach the United States and Canada. Sending text messages is not available on any plan.
