How the rental works
Four steps from ordering to entering the number on a platform. This page covers what actually happens at each one, and the limits worth knowing before you start.
One · Pick a country
Prices vary by country because carrier costs do. The price table sorts by monthly fee; check the number format for the country too, since some platforms display it back to you and an unfamiliar format is easy to mistype.
Two · Complete the rental
Ordering happens in the customer cabinet. The setup fee applies the first time you rent in that country; after that it is the monthly fee only. Once the line is assigned, the full international number appears on your account.
Three · Enter it on the platform
Use the international format including the country code, and do not add a leading zero after it. An Indonesian number is entered starting +62, never 062.
Four · Read the code
The SMS the platform sends appears in your order page. No SIM card, no handset, no other device.
Limits worth knowing
- Most lines in the catalogue are SMS Only — they receive text messages and do not take voice calls. A few countries also offer a calls-and-SMS line, listed separately on that country's page.
- Some countries — parts of the UK and US range among them — require identity documents under local rules. Those lines are marked Documents required in the catalogue.
- One number, one account per platform. Several accounts means several numbers.
- When a rental lapses the number is reclaimed. Turn on two-factor authentication, or move the account to another number, before you let it go.
