How to receive an SMS code on a virtual number

Five short parts from registering to your first code.

1
Register
On the register page, pick a username and password, or take an access token. The server keeps only hashes, so if you take the token, save it as a .txt file.
A lost token cannot be restored. Put a second copy somewhere else.
2
Add balance
In the console, press Request top-up. A secure PayGate checkout window opens: choose the amount, the coin and network, enter an email for the receipt, then send the exact amount shown to the address shown within 60 minutes. Top-ups start at $20 and are added once payment is confirmed.
The bonus starts at $40. The tariffs page shows the bonus on every card.
3
Set the country, then the app
On the home page or in the console, choose a country, then an app, and press Issue number.
If the app accepts only numbers from its home country, start there.
4
Put the number into the app
Copy the new number from Issued numbers into the app's phone field and ask for the code.
When the app has its own dial code box, type only the digits after the dial code.
5
Collect the code
The SMS appears in Issued numbers. 15 minutes without it and the price returns to your balance.
You can also press Cancel while it is still listening and get the price back at once.

Code running late

Each app gets along better with some countries. An empty number costs nothing, so a second country is free to try.

Look for a doubled dial code and whether the app wants the leading 0 dropped.

Many resends can make the app pause the number. Wait 1~2 minutes and press resend a single time.
