An SMSPool alternative with a flat price in every country

The short, fair answer

Use SMSPool when you need many one-time codes, an API for automated tests, card payment, or a mobile app. Consider SMSCreation when you want a single number to live with an account for years, with the same price in every country, outgoing SMS and calls included, and a same-country replacement guarantee for WhatsApp, Telegram, Google and similar apps.

What SMSPool is

SMSPool's FAQ describes it as a middleman for phone verifications that uses non-VoIP numbers. It sells temporary numbers, usually for one-time use with an option to resend, and monthly long-term rental numbers. The FAQ says temporary numbers stay in its system for up to 24 hours with most suppliers — some US numbers for 3 to 5 days, not guaranteed — and that a one-time number cannot be converted into a long-term rental. Rentals remain active as long as you extend them.

SMSPool says it covers more than 150 countries. Payment options listed on its site are cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, iDEAL and UnionPay through Stripe, cryptocurrency through payment partners, and cash via a partner store; it does not accept PayPal. Balance refunds are available if you deposited within 14 days and haven't partially spent the balance, and its FAQ says ordering a number is free and you only pay for what you use.

Its FAQ also sets limits: financial services, crypto exchanges, government sites and telecom carriers are not supported for verification, and calling and sending SMS are prohibited on its numbers. It offers a public API, apps for iPhone and Android, and says it doesn't block VPNs.

When SMSPool may suit you better

• You run automated OTP tests and need an API to order numbers and read messages.
• You need lots of one-time codes across many services and want to pay per code.
• You want to pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
• You prefer a native phone app to a browser dashboard.
• You want a data-only eSIM from the same provider — SMSPool sells those; SMSCreation does not.

When SMSCreation fits better

• You need to reply by SMS or place calls from the number — SMSPool's FAQ prohibits both, while SMSCreation includes 500 SMS and 1,000 minutes a month.
• You want one predictable price in every country, from $1.80 a month on the yearly plan.
• You want a same-country replacement guarantee within 7 days of activation for WhatsApp, Telegram, Google and other apps, or a 100% refund.
• You want no card and no identity: email-only sign-up, USDT or USDC only, no KYC.
• You want unlimited incoming SMS and calls on a number that is assigned only to you.

Rentals vs. a number you own while renewed

SMSPool's long-term rentals and SMSCreation's numbers look similar on the surface — both stay active while you pay. The practical differences are in how you use them. SMSCreation numbers are two-way: you can text and call from the dashboard, which matters when a service verifies by asking you to reply, or when a person needs to reach you. Every country is the same price, so you choose the country the account expects rather than the cheapest one.

If your rental needs are for a team's shared test logins with an API, SMSPool's model is closer to what you want.

How to switch from SMSPool

1. 01List the accounts that currently use the number you are leaving, and note which ones you still need.
2. 02Sign up at SMSCreation with an email address and a password — no phone number and no ID.
3. 03Choose the country that matches your accounts and pick a number (the first two and last two digits show as XX until activation).
4. 04Pay in USDT or USDC on Tron, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Base or Solana, per order or from a wallet balance.
5. 05In each account tied to an SMSPool rental, add the new number and confirm it with the code that arrives in your dashboard inbox, then remove the old number.
6. 06Let the old rental lapse only after every account shows the new number, and turn on auto-renew at SMSCreation.

Why it works with WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram & Google

Apps check more than the digits: they look up the line type, the country format and whether the number can actually receive their code. Every SMSCreation number is a real mobile number in its country's official format — not a VoIP line — so it passes those checks the same way a SIM in your pocket does.

And we stand behind it with a 7-day replacement guarantee: if your number doesn't work with WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, Google or any app you need, we replace it free with a new number in the same country — or refund 100% if you prefer.

• Non-VoIP, real mobile line type — line-type checks see an ordinary SIM number, not a VoIP line
• Official country format with the right country code, prefix and digit count
• Unlimited incoming SMS and calls — codes arrive by text or through the “call me” option
• Private to you — never listed on public SMS sites, so it isn't flagged or rate-limited
• Yours for as long as you want — re-verification and account recovery keep working

Price, keeping the number and the 7-day guarantee

SMSCreation costs from $1.80 a month on the yearly plan ($21.60 billed yearly), the same in every one of our 181 countries. The number stays yours for as long as you renew it, with auto-renew from your wallet balance. If it doesn't work with WhatsApp, Telegram, Google or another app that verifies by SMS or call, you get a free replacement in the same country within 7 days of activation, or a 100% refund — and there's a no-questions-asked refund within 7 days if the number hasn't been used for any call or SMS.
