Free Phone Number

Free phone numbers that receive real SMS online. Pick a number and read its messages right away.

Free phone numbers that really receive SMS

These are real numbers on real mobile networks, not made-up digits. When an app sends a text to a free number, the message arrives and is shown on this site within seconds.

Free phone number for verification

Use a free number when a website asks you to verify by SMS. You get the code without handing over your personal number, which keeps it out of marketing lists and data leaks.

Two kinds of free number

Public free numbers are listed openly and anyone can read their messages. Free numbers from the picker are given to you alone for 15 minutes, for one app. Both cost nothing. The second kind works better with apps that block heavily used numbers.

When a free number is not enough

Free numbers are shared and limited each day. If you need a number that only you can read, or one that keeps working for days, rent a private number. You pay only when the SMS arrives.
