Get and use your phone number
After you buy, the number shows in your console with a copy button. Paste it into the sign-up form of the app, for example LINE or WeChat, and ask it to send the SMS. A timer shows the 20 minutes the number stays yours.
You receive the verification code
The app sends its SMS and the code appears on screen by itself. Copy it into the app and you are done. Need one more SMS? Press Another code and it arrives on the same number at no extra cost. No code in 20 minutes: the full price returns to your credit.
Instant number selection
In a few clicks you get a number for any app and receive its SMS code on screen, usually within a minute.
Privacy protection
Use a one-time number instead of your own phone number when you register in apps and on websites.
Asian apps first
KakaoTalk, LINE, WeChat, Zalo, Naver, Shopee, Lazada and Grab sit at the top, next to every global app.

Verification numbers made for Asian apps
Asian apps sign people up with a phone number first. KakaoTalk and Naver ask for a number in Korea, LINE in Japan, Thailand and Taiwan, WeChat and Tencent QQ in China, Zalo in Vietnam, and Shopee, Lazada and Grab across Southeast Asia. VirtualSNS keeps these apps at the top of every list.
A KakaoTalk number from South Korea costs $8.40, from Japan $2.40 and from the Philippines $0.06. A LINE number from Japan costs $5.40. Each app page lists the price in every country, so you can pick the country the app expects or the lowest price.
Every number is for one app and one signup: it stays yours for 20 minutes, shows each SMS code on screen and gives the full price back when no code arrives.
What is a virtual number for SMS verification?
A virtual number lets you receive an SMS online without a SIM card in your phone. It fits account sign-ups, testing and a second profile on apps like KakaoTalk, LINE, WeChat and Telegram.
You choose the app and the country, and the number receives the code for that app only. Your own phone number stays private.

F.A.Q.
What is an activation number?
A phone number you use once to receive the SMS code of one app. You pick the app and the country, the number shows at once, and the code appears in your inbox. Each activation has a 20 minute window.
How fast does the code arrive?
Usually within a minute after the app sends it. The inbox refreshes by itself, so keep the activation open while you finish the app signup.
What happens if no code arrives?
If no SMS arrives in 20 minutes, the activation closes and the full price returns to your credit by itself. You can also cancel earlier for a full refund as long as no code has arrived.
Can I get a second code on the same number?
Yes. After the first code, press Another code and ask the app to send a new SMS. It arrives on the same number inside the window at no extra cost.
Can I use the number again later?
An activation is for one signup or check. When the 20 minute window ends, the number is no longer yours, so finish the app steps and add your own recovery email inside the window.
By creating an account you agree with the Terms and the Privacy Policy.
Each number is yours for 20 minutes. For a code that did not arrive, the refund goes back to your credit by itself.
