01

Getting a number

How SMSCreation works and what you receive when you buy a number.

What is SMSCreation?

SMSCreation provides real mobile phone numbers in 181 countries. Each number receives SMS (including verification codes) and calls, can send SMS and make calls, and is managed from one web dashboard.

Are SMSCreation numbers VoIP numbers?

No. SMSCreation numbers are real mobile numbers in each country's official mobile range, not VoIP numbers, which is why they work with WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram and Google. If one doesn't, we replace it free within 7 days or refund 100%.

How do I get a number?

Choose a country, choose a number, pay in crypto, and the number appears in your web dashboard, ready for SMS and calls.

Why are some digits shown as XX?

The first two and last two digits are assigned when your order is approved and the number is activated, so the number you receive has never been listed to anyone else.

Can I receive SMS online without a phone?

Yes. Your SMSCreation number lives in your account, not on a SIM, and every text shows up in the web dashboard. Any browser on any device is enough.

Can I have numbers in several countries?

Yes. Buy as many numbers as you need and manage them all from one dashboard, at the same price in every country.

Is SMSCreation related to SMS Creation GmbH or SMS Creations?

No. SMSCreation (smscreation.com) is not affiliated with SMS Creation GmbH (Switzerland, sms-creation.ch) or SMS Creations (India, smscreations.in). It is also not related to SMSCreator or smscreates. SMSCreation is operated by SMS Creation Inc. in the USA.

Payments

SMSCreation accepts crypto only: the USDT and USDC stablecoins.

How do I pay?

With crypto (USDT and USDC on Tron, Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Base or Solana) or from your wallet balance. The exact amount is matched on-chain automatically.

Which coins do you accept?

USDT and USDC — USDT on Tron, and both on Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, Base and Solana. 9 combinations in total.

Do you accept Bitcoin or cards?

We accept stablecoins only (USDT and USDC), so prices stay fixed in US dollars. We don't accept cards or bank transfers.

Why do I have to send an exact amount?

Each payment gets a unique amount (for example 5.060000) so it can be matched to your order automatically and privately, without asking who you are.

Can I pay from an exchange?

Yes. Withdraw on the same network you chose and make sure the amount received after fees equals the checkout amount.

What if I pay after the window closes?

Enter a refund address in the payment window or open a ticket, and we'll return the funds within 2 working days.

04

Verification and apps

Using your number to verify WhatsApp, Telegram, Google and other services.

Will it work with WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram and Google?

Yes — guaranteed. Every number is a real mobile number that works with WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, Google, Instagram and other apps that verify by SMS or call, with unlimited incoming SMS and calls. If your number doesn't work with them, we replace it free within 7 days — or refund 100%.

Can I receive the code by phone call?

Yes. Every number includes unlimited incoming calls as well as unlimited incoming SMS, so the "call me" option in WhatsApp, Telegram and Google works too.

Can I use the same number for WhatsApp and Google?

Yes. One number can verify several different apps, and because you keep it while it is renewed, future login and recovery codes keep reaching you.

Why do some services reject my number?

Many services check the line type and block landlines, many VoIP numbers and shared public numbers. A private, real mobile number in its country's official format avoids those checks, though each service sets its own rules.

My verification code didn’t arrive. What should I do?

First check the guide “Verification code not received” — most cases are fixed in minutes. If it still doesn’t arrive, open a ticket with the app name and the time you requested the code.

Countries and formats

Where numbers are available and how to write them correctly.

Which countries can I choose?

Any of 181 countries, all at the same price. The United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and India are popular choices.

Can I get a number from a country where I don't live?

Yes. Choose any of 181 countries — you don't need to live there or show a local ID or address.

How many digits is a mobile number?

It depends on the country. After the country code, mobile numbers usually have 7 to 12 digits — 10 in the US, Canada, the UK and India, and 10 or 11 in Germany.

Do I include the 0 when writing an international number?

No. Drop the domestic trunk prefix, usually 0: UK 07700 900123 becomes +44 7700 900123.

Why does a sign-up form say my number is invalid?

Usually the wrong country is selected, the leading 0 was kept, or the digit count doesn't match that country's format. Check it against the country's format.

06

Privacy and security

What we collect, what we don't, and who can see your messages.

Do I need ID, KYC or a local address?

No. There's no KYC: no ID, no real name, no phone number and no card. An email address is all you need to buy a number in any country.

Do I need a phone number to sign up?

No. Sign-up needs only an email address and a password.

Is SMSCreation private?

Yes — privacy is the default. We don't collect identity documents or payment cards, you pay in crypto, and we never sell or share your data with advertisers.

Can other customers see my SMS messages?

No. Each number is assigned to one account and its messages appear only in that account's dashboard.

Can SMSCreation staff read my messages?

Staff access messages only when needed for support or abuse investigations, as stated in the Privacy Policy.

Does SMSCreation store my card or bank details?

No. Payment is crypto only, so we never collect card or bank details. We keep payment metadata such as amounts, network and transaction references.

Renewals and expiry

How long a number stays yours and how renewal works.

How long can I keep my number?

For as long as you want. It renews from your wallet balance at the end of each term and stays yours while it's renewed.

Do SMSCreation numbers expire?

Only if you stop renewing. The number stays yours while renewed, and auto-renew can pay from your wallet balance.

How do I turn auto-renew on or off?

Open My numbers in your dashboard and switch auto-renew on or off for each number. Each number also shows its next renewal date and plan term.

Can I receive codes again later on the same number?

Yes. The number stays yours for as long as you renew it, so re-verification, new logins and password resets keep arriving in the same inbox.

Should I remove my number from accounts before giving it up?

Yes. Add and verify a new number first, then remove the old one, starting with email and banking.

08

Refunds and guarantee

The 7-day replacement guarantee and the no-questions-asked refund.

What is the refund policy?

A 7-day replacement guarantee: if your number doesn't work with WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, Google or any other app, we replace it free with a new number in the same country within 7 days of activation — or refund 100% if you prefer. And if you haven't used the number for any call or SMS, you can get a full refund, no questions asked.

How do I claim the replacement?

Open a support ticket in your dashboard or email support@smscreation.com within 7 days of activation. Include the number and the app name, and say whether you want a new number or a refund.

Will the replacement be in the same country?

Yes. The replacement is a new number in the same country, free of charge. If you prefer, you can take a 100% refund instead.

Does the guarantee cover my account being banned?

No. If an app suspends an account for its own policy reasons after verification succeeds, that is not a number fault. Support will still help, but the guarantee covers the number itself.

How fast do you reply?

Usually within 24 hours. Logged-in customers get the fastest answers through a support ticket in the dashboard, which also keeps the whole conversation in one place.
