**VirtualSMSNumbers leases real mobile numbers for a short window so you can receive the one-time code a service sends at sign-up or login — in 225 countries for 516 services — and you pay from a balance prepaid in crypto: USDT (TRC-20, ERC-20 or BEP-20), USDC, BTC, ETH, XMR, LTC, TRX, TON, BNB, SOL or DOGE.** You are charged per delivered code: an activation that receives nothing is refunded in full, automatically. The first top-up is €30 and never expires; later top-ups start at €10. No ID — just an email and a password.

## Activation or rental?

|  | Activation | Rental |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | One code on a number you don't keep | The same number for 4 hours to 12 months |
| Messages | The verification SMS | Unlimited incoming SMS |
| When it's right | One-off sign-ups and logins | Services that will ask for the number again (messengers, exchanges, banking apps) |
| If nothing arrives | Refunded in full, automatically | — |

## How an activation works

1. Top up your balance in crypto — credited on the first network confirmation.
2. Pick a service and a country on the [pricing page](/en/pricing); choose the country with the best delivery rate you can afford, not just the cheapest.
3. You get a number for a 20-minute window; enter it in the app and request the SMS.
4. The code appears in your dashboard. No code? The activation expires and your balance is credited back.
