A private alternative to free SMS sites.

Free receive-SMS sites list public numbers: anyone can see the messages, and the popular numbers have often been used many times before. vSMS gives you a number for your order alone, picked for the app you're signing up to.

Where vSMS differs

Built for the code, not the conversation.

Private

Each order gets its own number for its window, and the code shows only in your account.

Numbers picked for delivery

Each app is routed to the mobile operators with the best delivery record, every country shows a delivery rating, and many routes offer real-SIM numbers from named mobile carriers.

No code, no charge

If a code doesn't arrive in time, your credits come back automatically, with nothing to request.

Temp mail on real inboxes

Addresses on real, mainstream inboxes such as outlook.com, hotmail.com, mail.com and gmx.com, not the throwaway domains many sign-up forms reject.

Which to choose

Both have their place.

Free receive-SMS sites
  • No cost and no sign-up.
  • Fine for a test message that doesn't matter.

Choose a free SMS site for a throwaway test where it doesn't matter who sees the message.

vSMS
  • Private
  • Numbers picked for delivery
  • No code, no charge
  • Temp mail on real inboxes

Choose vSMS when the code protects an account you care about, or when the free numbers keep getting refused.
