- **Verify from another country.** Get a number from the country the app expects, wherever you are.
- **Set up business profiles.** Register shop, support and marketing accounts on messaging apps.
- **Log in again later.** Rent a number when you know the app will ask for a code again.

## Virtual number, OTP number, non-VoIP or rental?

Four names you'll see for **numbers for verification**. This is what each one means and when to pick it.

| Option | What it is | Pick it when | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Virtual number | A mobile number you use once to receive one verification SMS. | You need one code for one account, right now. | [Numbers by app](https://smsfalcon.com/virtual-number) |
| OTP number | The same number seen from the code's side: it receives a one-time password. | You care about the code, not the number. | [About OTP numbers](https://smsfalcon.com/otp-number) |
| Non-VoIP number | A number from a mobile carrier range, not an internet-phone range. | An app rejected your number as VoIP. | [Non-VoIP numbers](https://smsfalcon.com/non-voip-number) |
| Rental | One number kept for a set period, for several codes. | You'll log in again or verify more than once. | [Rent a number](https://smsfalcon.com/rent) |

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a virtual number for SMS verification?

It's a real mobile number you use to receive one verification text. You type it into the app's sign-up or login screen, and the code shows up in your SMS Falcon account instead of on a SIM card in your phone.

### Where can I buy a cheap virtual number?

Right here. SMS Falcon sells super cheap virtual numbers for SMS verification, starting at $0.01. Each app and country has its own price, shown in the picker before you pay, and you never pay for a code that doesn't arrive.

### How do I get a phone number for verification?

Pick the app and the country above, pay for the number, and paste it where the app asks for your phone. The verification code shows up in your SMS Falcon account within the number's active window, and if it never arrives the charge is refunded automatically.

### How much does a virtual number cost?

Prices start at $0.01 and depend on the app and the country. WhatsApp starts at $0.32. The picker at the top of this page shows the exact price before you pay.

### What happens if the code doesn't arrive?

You're refunded automatically. If the number doesn't receive the code before it expires, the charge goes back without you having to ask.

### What delivery rate can I expect?

90–98% on every service. That range comes from our delivery study across all the apps we sell, and it's the figure we stand behind for every app and country.

### What's the difference between a virtual number, an OTP number and a non-VoIP number?

A virtual number is the number you rent for a verification; an OTP number is the same thing named after the one-time code it receives; a non-VoIP number comes from a mobile carrier range, which matters when an app rejects internet-phone numbers. The table above links to each one.

### Can I rent a number instead of buying one per code?

Yes. A rental keeps one number for a set period, so you can receive more than one code on it. The rental page lists the periods and prices.

### Which apps can I verify?

265 apps, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Google, OpenAI, Discord, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and PayPal. The full list with prices is on the apps page.

### Can I get a US number?

Yes. US numbers are available for 61 apps, from $0.01. Choose United States in the picker to see the price for your app.

### Is a virtual number the same as a physical SIM?

No. You never receive a SIM card. The number belongs to a mobile operator range, and the text it receives is shown to you in your account.

### Can I receive more than one code on the same number?

A single number is meant for one verification. If you'll need several codes on the same number, for example to log in again later, use a rental.

### Which payment methods do you accept?

Card and crypto, from US$5. Brazilian accounts can also pay by Pix, from R$15.

### Is there an API for developers?

Yes. The SMS Falcon API lets your scripts and apps request numbers and read verification codes. The API page lists the endpoints.
