How to buy a virtual number on Numsify

Choose a service, pick an available country, receive the SMS code, and finish verification without using your personal phone number.

Short answer

Start from the service you want to verify. Numsify shows available countries and prices, then keeps the number open while you wait for the SMS.

Step-by-step guide

  1. 1Open Numsify and choose the app or website you want to verify. Popular services such as WhatsApp, Telegram and Google are at the top.
  2. 2Select a country with available numbers for that service. Sort the list by popular countries, lowest price or most numbers in stock.
  3. 3Review the price and buy. If your SMS balance covers it, the number is yours right away; if not, pay the difference at checkout and the number is bought for you as soon as the payment is confirmed.
  4. 4Copy the virtual number into the target app or website.
  5. 5Wait for the SMS code to appear inside your active number page.
  6. 6Enter the code in the target app before the number window ends.

Important notes

Use the exact service you need. A number bought for one service may not work for another service.
Do not close the target app while it is waiting for the verification code unless the app asks you to restart.
