Why VRNUM beats free SMS services
Free "receive SMS online" sites share a tiny pool of numbers publicly among thousands of users simultaneously. Those numbers are already blocked everywhere. VRNUM is different.
Free SMS sites
- Shared with thousands of users simultaneously
- Numbers blocked instantly by WhatsApp, Google, etc.
- Your OTP codes visible to anyone on the internet
- Registration always fails: 'number already in use'
- Zero privacy — codes are fully public
VRNUM Virtual Numbers
- Exclusive to your account — no sharing, ever
- Real mobile carrier allocations — passes strict HLR checks
- Codes visible only in your private dashboard
- Fresh, unregistered on every major platform
- Keep for 30 days or a full year with auto-renew
VRNUM OTP Numbers
- Buy one number for one verification code
- Works for Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram, Google, and more
- Lowest cost — pay only for what you need
- Wallet-only payment — instant, no checkout
- Cancel before use for a full refund
Works for every platform that sends OTP via SMS
Use a VRNUM number to verify any account — keep your real phone number private.

Virtual Number — Monthly vs. Yearly
A monthly plan gives you flexibility for 30 days — ideal for one-time verifications or testing a new platform.
A yearly plan locks in the same number for 365 days at up to 65% less per day. If you use WhatsApp or Telegram long-term, yearly pays for itself within months.
Browse virtual numbersOTP Number — Pay per code
Need just one code? Buy a Temporary OTP Number for a fraction of a monthly plan. Pick the service (WhatsApp, Instagram, Google, etc.) and country, pay from your wallet, and the number is yours instantly.
The number expires after receiving the code. Unused activations can be cancelled for a full refund.

What is the difference between a Virtual Number and an OTP Number?
A Virtual Number is a dedicated phone number assigned exclusively to your account for 30 days or a full year. It receives unlimited SMS from any service and can be renewed indefinitely — ideal for WhatsApp, Telegram, or any long-term account. A Temporary OTP Number is a single-use number you buy to receive exactly one verification code. Once the code arrives, the number is done. OTP numbers are cheaper and best for quick one-off verifications.
How quickly will I receive my number?
If you pay from your VRNUM wallet balance, your number is provisioned in seconds. For cryptocurrency payments, activation happens automatically once the blockchain confirms your transaction, typically within a few minutes.
Will this number work for WhatsApp, Telegram, or Google?
Yes. VRNUM numbers come from licensed mobile carrier allocations — not shared VoIP pools. They pass the carrier type checks that strict platforms run on submission. Because your number is dedicated exclusively to your account, it has never been used to register before, which is the primary reason registration succeeds.
Do I need to submit any ID or documents?
No. VRNUM requires zero KYC documentation. You register with an email address only. We accept only cryptocurrency, which means your payment carries no financial identity either.
Can I get a refund if I cancel an OTP number?
Yes. If you cancel an unused Temporary OTP Number before a code arrives, you receive a full refund back to your VRNUM wallet. For Virtual Numbers, refunds are not available once the number has been provisioned to your account.
What cryptocurrencies do you accept?
Bitcoin (BTC), USDT (TRC-20, ERC-20, BEP-20), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and many other coins via Cryptomus. You can also top up your VRNUM wallet once and use the balance for instant purchases without any additional blockchain fees.
The smarter way to manage SMS verifications
Built from the ground up to protect your privacy while ensuring reliable delivery.
Real Mobile Allocations
A virtual phone number routes messages over internet infrastructure rather than a physical SIM. At VRNUM, every number is registered on a licensed carrier network. This makes it highly effective for SMS OTP verification, passing strict HLR lookups where VoIP numbers fail.
Dedicated & Exclusive
Free "receive SMS online" sites share numbers publicly, resulting in instant bans from major platforms. Your VRNUM number is exclusively yours — no other user has registered it before, guaranteeing high success rates where shared services fail.
Anonymous Payments
Privacy is core to VRNUM. There is zero KYC — no ID, no address, just an email. We process payments via cryptocurrency, meaning your purchase cannot be traced back to you through a bank record or credit card statement.
