Long-term number rental: keep receiving verification SMS on the same number

What is renting a number to receive SMS?

Number rental ties one phone number to your account for a set period, so you keep receiving the verification SMS sent to it. A one-time verification number receives one app's code and closes after 20 minutes, while a rented number receives SMS on the same number as many times as you like until the period ends.

Receiving verification SMS often does not end at sign-up. When you log in on a new device, change your password or do something important like a payment or withdrawal, the service sends a code to the number you first registered. If that number has already passed to someone else by then, getting your account back is hard. Long-term number rental keeps the same number for you for exactly these moments.

TODAY SMS rents numbers for six periods: 1, 7, 30, 90, 180 and 360 days. The longer the period, the lower the daily price, and each country and period has one set price, so you know the exact amount before you pay.

Why do non-VoIP numbers matter for verification?

A non-VoIP number is a mobile number registered with a real mobile carrier, not an internet phone (VoIP) company. Services that take security seriously, such as banks, payment apps, messengers and big social networks, check which carrier a number belongs to, and often refuse to send verification SMS to internet phone numbers or block sign-up.

A number you plan to keep is a hassle to replace once it is blocked, so choosing a mobile carrier number from the start is the safe way. TODAY SMS US rental numbers are non-VoIP mobile carrier numbers, and for other countries each card shows whether it is a mobile carrier number or a virtual number.

What are rental numbers used for?

Rental numbers are a great fit wherever you need to receive codes on the same number many times. Here are the most common uses among our customers.

• Account recovery and logging in again: receive the codes sent each time you log in on a new device or browser on the same number.
• Team numbers: share two-factor authentication for company accounts, test accounts and admin tools across the team instead of tying it to one person's phone.
• Signing up for services abroad: sign up with a local number for services that do not accept numbers from your country, and keep verifying with the same number afterwards.
• Protecting your personal number: leave a rented number instead of your own on sites you are unsure about or services that send lots of ad texts.
• Development and testing: keep receiving codes on the same number while you test sign-up, login and two-factor authentication flows again and again.

How are rental periods, extensions and prices set?

Prices depend on just two things: the country and the period. Tap a period on the card to see its price right away, and tap Rent to have that amount taken from your balance in one payment. Every SMS that arrives during the period is included in the price.

Prices currently start at $0.84 (1 day). The longer you rent, the lower the daily price, so 180 days is cheaper per day than 30 days, and 360 days is cheaper per day than 180 days. You can extend the same number by another period before it ends, and if you do not extend, the number is returned when the period is over.
