TwoLine helps you rent a second phone number for SMS verification, account setup, and privacy. Choose a supported country, pick a rental duration, add credits, and receive SMS messages in the app. Use TwoLine when you need a separate number without exposing your personal phone number. Active rentals show the phone number, expiry time, recent SMS messages, and clear policy information before purchase. Recent messages stay in one simple inbox so you can track codes and rental activity from the same place. What you can do with TwoLine: - Rent a 2nd phone number - Receive SMS verification codes - Use a separate number for account setup - Choose supported countries and rental durations - Manage active rentals and recent SMS messages - Add TwoLine credits through in-app purchases - Review refund and credit rules before renting - Delete account data from Settings TwoLine uses app credits. Store purchases add credits to your wallet, and rentals spend credits from that wallet. Some eligible rentals may offer a short credit-back window if no SMS arrives and cancellation succeeds. Credit-back is app credit only, not a cash refund. Important: TwoLine does not guarantee that any third-party app, website, financial service, bank, crypto exchange, or regulated platform will accept a rented number. Number availability, SMS delivery speed, app acceptance, and country support can vary by option. Review the rental policy before each purchase. TwoLine is not an emergency calling service and does not support voice calls. Privacy and account control: TwoLine creates an anonymous app account so wallet balance, rentals, and inbox messages can be tied to your device session. You can delete app account data from Settings. Privacy Policy, Terms of Use, and support links are available in the app and at twoline.io.

Receive SMS verification codes on a temporary number, or get a temp mail address for a sign-up, without giving out your real number or inbox. TEMPORARY NUMBERS FOR VERIFICATION CODES Pick the app or site and a country, get a number, and the code appears in vSMS the moment it lands, ready to copy. - Hundreds of services, with numbers from dozens of countries - Where the network publishes a delivery rating, you see it on the country list before you spend anything - Pay with credits, only for what you use - No code? 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. A NUMBER OF YOUR OWN When available, you can also rent a US or Canadian number by subscription and keep it. Codes and texts from US and Canadian senders land in the app, incoming calls ring in the app, and outgoing calls to the US and Canada are included up to a monthly allowance. Texts you send to US numbers usually don't arrive, texting outside the US and Canada is not available, and some platforms refuse virtual numbers. 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. PLEASE NOTE A rented 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/
