The manual says the selected operator affects a number’s price, while the pricing page lists periods from 1 hour to 1 month.

The rules page says payment is debited when a number is purchased; the manual says users first add funds using a payment method offered on the site. The rules describe refunds for canceled orders or, in some cases, when SMS does not arrive after about 5 minutes. The manual instead describes an automatic refund when SMS does not arrive, with rare delays taking up to 15 minutes.

Manual Buy lets the user choose a country and operator, while Smart Buy selects both based on SMS delivery rate, according to the manual checked on 2026-10-31. The rate is a selection basis, not a promise that a message will arrive.

The vendor says country, service, price, and success-rate information can be browsed without registering. Its listed guides cover temporary numbers for Airbnb, Google, and WhatsApp, as well as dropped-call and flash-call verification. Check which selection route and service listing match the verification task.

The vendor states that support agents are available anytime and provides a support option; its manual directs users to contact support if they cannot resolve an error themselves. Before registering, ask how to handle an order that remains active when SMS is unwanted, since the manual says users can cancel.

The manual says users can ban a number if it has already been used. The vendor also says its AI assistant can answer support questions and buy an available number.

The documented sequence starts with signing up or logging in, then choosing Manual Buy or Smart Buy and purchasing a number. The manual says users add funds through a payment method offered by the website before purchase.

After purchase, the rules allow SMS reception for 5–30 minutes, while the manual says some service, country, and operator combinations provide only one message. The manual says an order is automatically canceled in some cases if SMS is not delivered within five minutes. Users who do not want to continue receiving SMS can cancel, according to the manual.

The terms prohibit use by residents of the United States and Russia, and prohibit access from those countries. They also exclude paid subscriptions and outgoing SMS or calls.

A rule violation may lead to suspension or termination without a refund; the provider also disclaims responsibility for account bans and says banned accounts are not refunded. The terms prohibit balance transfers between accounts, and say accounts unused for more than one year will be deleted without restoring their balance.

The no-SMS right has a limit: abusing it can lead to a one-hour account restriction, and some combinations may provide only one SMS. Several details are missing; they are listed under What we could not confirm. Check the permitted use and location against the terms before adding funds.

The vendor describes selection choices and browsing information that let buyers check options before purchase.

• Manual Buy lets users choose the country and operator, while Smart Buy selects them based on SMS delivery rate.
• The vendor says country, service, price, and success-rate information can be browsed without registering.
• The vendor states that it offers numbers from around 180 countries and adds new virtual numbers daily.
• The manual describes an automatic refund if an SMS is not received, while allowing for rare delays.

These are stated options and terms, not evidence that a number will receive a message. Check the chosen service and country before purchase.

Compare providers on the terms that determine whether a number suits the task: supported countries and services, per-number charges, rental versus one-time activation, refund conditions when no code arrives, payment methods, API access, and permitted uses. Check how each provider defines the activation period and any cancellation conditions.

The vendor describes 5SIM as providing virtual numbers for receiving SMS from websites and apps. Its guides cover temporary numbers for named services and dropped-call or flash-call verification.

The terms exclude paid subscriptions, and the service does not support outgoing SMS or calls. The permitted-use boundary matters alongside the geographic restriction stated in the terms. Before proceeding, check the intended use and location against the provider’s terms.

When does the no-SMS refund apply?

The manual describes an automatic refund if an SMS is not received, while allowing for rare delays. The rules page describes refunds for canceled orders or, in some cases, when SMS does not arrive after about 5 minutes. These pages describe the refund differently, so check which condition applies to the order.

How does the refund timing differ between pages?

The refund timing differs by source: the rules page describes some no-SMS refunds after about 5 minutes, while the manual allows for rare delays of up to 15 minutes. The manual also describes the refund as automatic. Ask support how the timing is handled for the specific order.

Can an order be canceled?

The manual says users can cancel if they do not want to continue receiving SMS. It also says that, in some cases, an order is automatically canceled if SMS is not delivered within five minutes. The rules page separately describes refunds for canceled orders.

How long can a number receive SMS?

The rules state that the allowed SMS-receiving period is 5–30 minutes. The manual says some service, country, and operator combinations may provide only one SMS message. Check the selected combination’s conditions rather than assuming every number follows the same message limit.

What if the service you need is not listed?

The manual says users can try the service “Other” if the needed service is not listed. That is the option the vendor documents for this situation. Check the service listing before purchase and ask support whether the intended use fits the terms.

Fits if the intended task is receiving SMS for an allowed use and the location meets the terms.

Probably not if the task requires paid subscriptions, outgoing messages or calls, or access from a prohibited location.

Main risk… refund conditions vary between the manual and rules page, while violations may lead to suspension or termination without a refund. Check the intended use, location, and applicable refund terms before registering.
