Keep your number private

Verification codes, without your real number.

vSMS gives you a temporary phone number or e-mail address for the sign-up codes apps ask for. You pay only for what you use, and if no code arrives, your credits come back.

Coming soonAndroid

One account and one balance, on the web and on iPhone.

Refunded if no codeIf a code doesn't arrive in time, your credits come back automatically.
Pay as you goBuy credits once. They never expire, and codes need no subscription.
Your details stay yoursSign up without handing your own number or inbox to another app.
What you get

One app, three ways to keep your details private.

Use it in the browser or on iPhone. It's the same account and the same credits.

Temp numbers

Get a number in the country you need and the code appears on screen when it arrives. Each try is a fresh number, and every country carries a delivery rating so you can pick where codes land best.

Temp mail

A working inbox on a mainstream domain such as outlook.com or hotmail.com, for the code a site sends when you sign up. The code shows up right in vSMS, so your real inbox stays out of it.

A second number

A US or Canadian number you keep, for calls and incoming texts, separate from your SIM. Available as a subscription in the iPhone app.

How it works

A code in three steps.

No SIM card and no paperwork.

1

Choose the app

Pick the service you're signing up for, and a country for the number.

2

Use the number

Paste it into the app's sign-up screen and ask it to send the code.

3

Get the code

The code appears in vSMS. If it doesn't arrive in time, your credits are refunded.

No surprises

Sometimes a code doesn't come. You don't pay for that.

Some apps refuse temporary numbers, and some messages never arrive. When that happens your credits come back by themselves, and your next try gets a brand new number.

  • Refunds are automatic. There's nothing to request.
  • Delivery ratings help you pick a country.
  • Support is one tap away if you get stuck.
