SMS Proxy lets you receive verification codes on a shared phone number, so you can sign up for forums, shopping sites and app tests without giving out your own. Pick a number, paste it into the form and watch the code arrive with SMS Proxy Pro. The numbers are shared, so others can see the same messages. Use them for low-stakes sign-ups and testing, never for banking, payments or any account you need to keep. • Code detection — picks out the code, not prices or dates, and one tap copies it • Live inbox — new messages appear on their own while the app is open • Live Activities — on iPhone and iPad, see the newest code on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Siri and Shortcuts — ask for the latest code from a number, or use it in a shortcut • Search or random — find a number by its digits, or jump to a random one No account, no ads and no tracking. Also available for iPad, Mac and Apple Vision Pro. Browsing the number list is free. Reading messages, copying numbers and codes, Live Activities, and code lookups with Siri and Shortcuts need SMS Proxy Pro, available as a monthly or yearly subscription with a free trial for new subscribers.
