All Bosnia numbers provided by services are usually mobile numbers — the format most widely accepted by apps and services for SMS verification. This ensures maximum compatibility with WhatsApp, Telegram, Google, Bosnia banking apps, and other platforms that require a Bosnia number.
A Bosnia and Herzegovina virtual phone number is a cloud-based +387 line that receives SMS verification codes through the internet. No physical SIM card, no carrier visit, and no Bosnian address are needed for SMS-only activations. Whether you need a disposable number for a single OTP or a longer rental for account access, a BiH temporary number handles the verification step from anywhere in the world.
Bosnia and Herzegovina operates under the +387 country code assigned by the ITU. The country runs two political entities (the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska) but shares a single national numbering plan. Mobile numbers begin with 06 and contain 8 digits after the area prefix. Landline numbers use geographic area codes: Sarajevo is 033, Banja Luka is 051, and Mostar is 036. When dialing internationally, drop the leading 0 from the domestic format.
The Communications Regulatory Agency (CRA/RAK) oversees Bosnia's telecom sector, including number allocation and consumer protection. Number portability has been active in BiH since 2015, allowing subscribers to switch operators while keeping their number.
Three mobile operators dominate the market. BH Telecom holds approximately 42 to 45% of subscribers and uses mobile prefixes 060, 061, and 062. m:tel (part of Telekom Srbija Group) holds approximately 36 to 41% with prefixes 065 and 066. HT Eronet (Croatian Telecom Group) covers approximately 14 to 21% with prefix 063 (D7 Networks, 2024). Bosnia has roughly 3.5 million active mobile connections serving a population of 3.2 million.
Instant messaging adoption in Bosnia is exceptionally high. Official BiH statistics show 84.5% of internet users relied on instant messaging apps in 2022, rising to 94.4% using video and messaging services in 2023 (Agencija za statistiku BiH, 2022). Viber is the dominant messaging app in the Balkans, making it a critical verification platform alongside WhatsApp.

Bosnia uses the +387 country code, shared across both political entities. Landlines carry geographic prefixes (Sarajevo 033, Banja Luka 051, Mostar 036). Mobile numbers start with 06. Drop the leading 0 when dialing from abroad.
A BiH virtual number is a +387 line that receives SMS codes online without a SIM card or carrier contract. The platform offers activation mode for one-time OTP verification and long-term rental for accounts requiring sustained access.
The platform activates a Bosnian number in seconds. Verification codes typically arrive within one minute when carrier delivery succeeds. If no code arrives, cancel and the balance returns automatically.
Viber and WhatsApp both accept +387 numbers for SMS verification. Viber is the dominant messaging app in Bosnia and the broader Balkans region. WhatsApp also supports a voice call fallback for verification.
SMS-only activations through the platform require no local address, no ID scan, and no Bosnian residency. Business-grade lines from other providers may require identity documents and proof of address.
BiH regulations grant number portability rights since 2015. Transfer requires a signed authorization letter, a recent invoice from the current provider, and identification documents. Porting timelines vary by provider.
