The line only accepts messages from the service you picked; anything else is dropped at the operator. It is the cheaper option and it keeps the number clean for that one service.
Number rental
Keep the same number for 4 hours to 12 months. Receive unlimited SMS from one service or from every sender.
- From 4 hours to 12 months per window, chosen before you pay and extended by auto-renew for as long as the balance covers it.
- Unlimited for the whole window, from the chosen scope.
- One charge for the window: the activation price with a duration curve on top.

Rental price
โฆ
Debited from your balance when the rental starts. Auto-renewals are charged at the same price.
Indicative price from the cheapest healthy operator holding stock in that country. The amount is shown again in the dashboard before the rental starts.
Activation or rental
Most people need a one-time activation. Rent when the same number has to still work at the next login.
| What differs | One-time activation | Rental |
|---|---|---|
| Duration | 20 minutes, then the order closes by itself. | From 4 hours to 12 months per window, chosen before you pay and extended by auto-renew for as long as the balance covers it. |
| Messages | One SMS. Extra messages cost 30 % of the base price when multi-SMS is on. | Unlimited for the whole window, from the chosen scope. |
| Price basis | Per successful code, at the live list price. | One charge for the window: the activation price with a duration curve on top. |
| Typical use | A single signup, or a one-off verification in a test run. | Repeat logins, two-factor resets, a line a team has to keep reachable. |
| Refunds | Automatic and in full whenever no code arrives inside the window. | Only if you cancel within 20 minutes of the start and no message has arrived. |

One service, or every sender
Scope is fixed when the rental starts and cannot be widened later. To change it, rent again.
Every sender that texts the number reaches your dashboard and the API. It blocks a whole line at the operator, which is why it costs roughly 85 % more than the same window scoped to a single service.
What a rental does not do
- Nothing outbound. You cannot send SMS or place calls from a rented number.
- The number is not portable โ it cannot be moved to your own SIM or carrier account.
- Incoming voice is transcribed to text in selected countries only. Elsewhere the line is SMS-only.
- Auto-renew charges the same price six hours before expiry and stops silently if the balance is short, so keep a buffer.
- When the window ends the number returns to the operator pool. We cannot promise the same one again.
- Some operator ranges are already refused by a given service. If the first line fails, cancel inside the refund window and rent again.
Common questions
Not with a one-time activation: the number returns to the pool afterwards. If you need the same number for repeat logins, use a rental โ from four hours to twelve months, with unlimited SMS from the chosen service.
For selected countries in rental mode, incoming calls are transcribed and delivered as text. One-time activations are SMS only. Outbound calls and outbound SMS are not offered at all.
Enable multi-SMS before buying, and the activation stays open for additional messages from the same service until the window closes. Each extra message is billed at 30 % of the base price. Rentals include unlimited messages.
Automatically and in full whenever an activation ends without a code: no SMS in the window, the number turns out to be blocked by the service, or you cancel before any message arrives. The credit is on your balance within seconds. Balance itself is not withdrawable back to crypto except for referral earnings above โฌ50 โ see the refund policy.
Yes, on every account, at no extra cost, from the first euro of balance. Create a key in the dashboard, send it as a bearer token, and you have the same capabilities the web interface uses.
