How Long do Temporary Phone Numbers Last? Do they expire?

Our service offers two temporary number formats designed for different use purposes, taking into account the needs of modern users. Each option has its own technical specifications and financial guarantees, providing customers with a comfortable working environment.

  1. The activation mode is designed for situations where you need to receive an SMS message promptly to confirm the action. These numbers are available for a strictly limited period - from 20 to 90 minutes, and the specific duration depends on the target service. For example, to work with Telegram, the number is active for exactly 20 minutes - this limit is determined by the technical requirements of the platform. After the specified time, the number is automatically deactivated, and it cannot be extended due to technical limitations. However, we have provided an automatic refund system if the SMS has not been received to the number.
  2. Rental mode is available for those who need a number for a long period. You can rent a number for a period from 1 day to 1 year. If you still need the number, you can extend the rental at any time while it is active in your personal account — so you can easily adjust the duration to your needs.
    Important: after purchase, the rental cannot be canceled — it remains active until the end of the paid period.
    The rental is issued without being tied to a service: the number is suitable for receiving SMS from any non-prohibited services and apps, and during the rental period you can receive an unlimited number of messages.

This division into two modes makes it possible to optimally solve various tasks: operational confirmations through activation and long-term projects through a lease with the possibility of flexible extension.

We are constantly improving the service to ensure maximum convenience, reliability and transparency of conditions for all users.
