Frequently asked questions

How do I receive SMS online for free?

Pick any live number on this page, enter it where the code is requested, then open the number here. The inbox refreshes every 10 seconds and the code shows up as soon as the SMS arrives.

Why do most free SMS numbers not work?

Free numbers get blocked once too many people use them, and many sites keep listing them anyway. We check every number every few minutes and only show numbers that actually received an SMS in the last 24 hours.

Are these numbers private?

No. Every number is shared and every message is public. Use them to skip sign-up spam or test an app, never for banking, your main email, or any account you need to recover later.

Do I need to sign up or pay?

No. There is no account, no app and no fee. Open a number and read its messages.

What does "Live" mean?

Live means the number received at least one SMS in the last 24 hours, so the carrier and most services still deliver to it.
