Receive SMS verification codes with a virtual number. Choose a service, choose a country, get a number and receive the code in the app. How it works 1. Choose the service you need a code for. 2. Choose a country. 3. Get a number. You see the price in credits and confirm to claim it. 4. Receive the code in the app. Messages appear automatically. Good to know • All your numbers and messages are in one place. • If no SMS arrives, the credits go back to your balance. You get credits back, not money. • Credit packs are one-time purchases, not subscriptions. Credits do not expire. • Signing in is optional. It only keeps your number history on every device if you change phone. • Availability varies by service, country and provider. Delivery depends on the service and provider. A service may reject a number, and a code may not arrive. • For short-term verification only. Not for account recovery, banking or accounts you need long term. Keep your personal number private when you only need a short-term code, and follow the rules of each service you use.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: HidSim at free against SMSCode's free with in-app purchases. SMSCode's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
