Use cases

Why people pick a foreign number

  • Fewer marketing texts

    Sign up to one-off services without giving out your personal number.

  • QA for SMS flows

    Check that your own app's verification and alert messages reach each country.

  • A number for the business

    Keep shop, marketplace and work profiles apart from your personal phone.

  • Living or travelling abroad

    Verify with a local number instead of buying a local SIM.

  • Country-locked apps

    Some apps only accept numbers from the country where they operate.

  • Several brand profiles

    Give each brand's social profile its own verification number.

Receive-only: numbers cannot send texts or make calls. Lawful use only.

Questions

Help center highlights

The questions that come up first about numbers, prices and the token account.

Open the help center
  • Where does the SMS go when an app sends it?

    To a carrier number we hold. SMSGlobals reads it and lists it under that number in your account, so no SIM card or handset is involved.

  • Is the price charged when the code never shows up?

    It is returned. A single-use number keeps its 20-minute window open; when the window closes without a code, the amount goes straight back to your balance.

  • How many apps are in the search?

    104 apps, from WhatsApp, Telegram and Google to KakaoTalk, Instagram and TikTok. Anything missing works through Other apps.

  • Can the number make calls or send texts?

    No. SMSGlobals numbers only take incoming SMS.

  • Why do prices differ by country?

    Each app and country pair has its own fixed price per number. Search an app on the home page to compare its countries side by side.

  • How much do I need to add?

    Balance starts at $20. Adding $40 or more brings a bonus between 10% and 50%, depending on the amount.
