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/
