A phone number that travels with you.
Travel breaks phone numbers. Your home SIM stops working or costs a fortune in roaming, a local prepaid SIM needs a passport and a shop visit, and every app you rely on keeps sending codes to a number you can't reach. SMSCreation solves it with a real mobile number that lives in a web dashboard instead of a SIM tray.
Choose a number in any of 181 countries — at home, in your destination or in the country your accounts are tied to. Incoming SMS and calls are unlimited, you get 500 outgoing SMS and 1,000 outgoing minutes a month, and all you need is an internet connection. Plans start from $1.80 a month on the yearly plan, paid in crypto, with no ID.
Receive codes anywhere, no roaming SIM
Most of what a phone number does for travelers is receive: sign-in codes, 2FA codes, booking confirmations, delivery updates and security checks from the apps you use. With SMSCreation those messages arrive in the SMS inbox of your web dashboard, which you can open on hotel Wi-Fi, a café connection or any local data plan. There's no roaming to switch on, no SIM to swap and no surprise bill for receiving texts.
That means you can keep a cheap local data SIM or eSIM in your phone for the internet, and still receive codes on a stable number that doesn't change from country to country. When you need to reply or call, the same dashboard lets you send SMS and place calls from the browser.
Three ways travelers use it
- Keep a local number while abroad: a number in your home country that your apps, services and contacts can keep using for months or years.
- Get a number in your destination before you arrive: book rides, restaurants and rentals with a local number, and give landlords and hosts a number they can text.
- Keep one stable number as a nomad: move between countries without re-verifying every account each time your SIM changes.
Keep a number from home
If you're moving abroad for work, study or a long trip, your home carrier may cancel an unused SIM, or roaming may simply be too expensive to keep it running. Accounts linked to that number — app logins, marketplaces, email recovery, delivery services — then lose the number they depend on.
A real mobile number from SMSCreation in the country you're leaving gives those accounts a home that doesn't depend on being there. Update your accounts to the new number before you go, and codes keep arriving wherever you are. Our guide on keeping your phone number when moving abroad walks through the changeover step by step.
A local number before you land
Local services often expect a local number. Ride-hailing and food apps, apartment rentals, co-working spaces, gyms and local marketplaces may ask for one before you can book, and hosts or landlords prefer a number they can text without international charges.
Because there is no KYC and no local ID requirement, you can buy a number in your destination country days or weeks before you travel — for example a UAE, UK or US number — set up the apps you'll need, and arrive ready. Numbers use each country's official mobile format, so local services see an ordinary local mobile number.

- Unlimited incoming calls
- 500 outgoing SMS per month
- 1,000 outgoing call minutes per month, placed from your browser
- Web dashboard with SMS inbox, sending, calling, call history and support tickets
Private, portable payment
Travelers and expats often find that cards get blocked abroad, local banks won't open accounts for non-residents and carriers want paperwork. SMSCreation avoids all of that. There is no KYC — no ID, passport, selfie, proof of address or real name — just an email-only sign-up. We never sell your data, passwords are stored hashed and logins are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile.
Payment is crypto only, in USDT or USDC stablecoins priced in US dollars, on Tron (TRC-20), Polygon, BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), Base and Solana. Top up a wallet once, turn on auto-renew, and your number renews from the balance wherever you happen to be — no foreign card fees and no currency conversion.
Popular countries for travelers
Every country costs the same, so it's common to hold two numbers: one at home and one where you're going.
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 it and refunds
From $1.80 a month on the yearly plan ($21.60 billed yearly), in every one of 181 countries. Keep the number as long as you want — it stays yours while it is renewed, however long you're away. If it isn't right for your trip, you're covered by our 7-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked, as long as the number has not been used for any call or SMS.
Questions
Do I need roaming to receive SMS abroad?
No. Incoming SMS appear in your web dashboard, so any internet connection — Wi-Fi or a local data SIM — is enough to read your codes.
Can I keep a number from my home country while I live abroad?
Yes. Choose a number in your home country and keep it as long as you want; it stays yours while it's renewed, and auto-renew can pay from your wallet balance.
Can I get a number in my destination before I travel?
Yes. There's no KYC or local ID requirement, so you can buy a number in any of 181 countries before you leave.
Can I make calls while traveling?
Yes. Place calls from your browser with 1,000 outgoing minutes a month, and send up to 500 SMS a month. Incoming calls are unlimited.
Will banking and other apps send codes to it?
It's a real mobile number, so it works with the many apps that verify by SMS or call. Each service sets its own rules, so check any account that matters before you travel.
Is it good for digital nomads?
Yes. One stable number means you don't have to re-verify your accounts every time you change SIM or country.
What if my plans change?
Our 7-day money-back guarantee applies, no questions asked, as long as the number has not been used for any call or SMS.
Will the number work with WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram and Google?
Yes — guaranteed. It's a real mobile number with unlimited incoming SMS and calls, so verification codes arrive by SMS or voice call. If it doesn't work with WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, Google or any app you need, we replace it free within 7 days — or refund 100%.
