Permanent virtual phone number
A number that stays yours: a service can ask for the code a year later and it will arrive. The format for a main account, a business profile and for every service that re-checks the phone: PayPal, Google, WhatsApp Business, exchanges.

Permanent virtual phone numbers explained
A permanent virtual phone number is a monthly line assigned to your dashboard: you pay a setup fee once and a monthly renewal after that, and the number keeps receiving SMS for as long as you renew. People also call it a rented number or a long-term number, and the point is the same: any service can ask for a verification code at any moment, and a permanent number is always there to receive it. Because the lines are mobile numbers on physical SIMs, they also pass the services that filter VoIP ranges.
This is the format for anything that should survive a reinstall, a new phone or a routine re-check: a main messenger account, a PayPal or Google account, a business profile, a second line for a shop. It is also the right choice when a customer base is attached to the number, because losing the number means losing the chats. Prices differ by country and are shown live above, with the setup fee stated before you pay.
Renewal is deliberately boring: one click in the dashboard, no paperwork, and the number stays yours. If a renewal is missed, the number returns to the pool after the paid period, so the only real rule is to renew on time. At BasolinoVoIP every price on the page comes from the live catalog, not from a text someone typed. Compare the formats on this page and pick a country from the live table.
Questions about permanent numbers
What does “permanent” actually mean?
The number is assigned to you and receives codes for as long as you renew it. It is permanence by renewal, like a phone plan minus the SIM.
How do I renew the number?
From the dashboard, in one click. Keep the balance topped up and the number simply stays yours.
What happens if I stop paying?
The number returns to the pool after the paid period ends. Renew before that if the account matters; a released number cannot be brought back.
Can I use it for a business profile?
Yes, this is the format made for it. A business profile needs a number that answers re-verification for years, and that is exactly what a permanent number does.
Will it survive moving to a new phone?
Yes. Install the app on the new phone, request the code, read it in your dashboard; the account moves with the number.
Can the same permanent number receive codes from other apps?
It receives SMS from any sender, but services count phones and a shared line puts several accounts at risk at once. Take a separate permanent number per account.
How many permanent numbers can I have?
As many as you need; each is a separate line in your dashboard with its own renewal.
Why is there a setup fee and a monthly fee?
The setup covers issuing the number to you; the monthly fee keeps it reserved and receiving. Both are shown in the table before you pay.
Which countries can I get a permanent number in?
The table above is the live answer: 49 countries at the moment, and the list updates as the catalog changes.
Is a permanent number a physical SIM?
Yes. Permanent lines in the catalog are mobile numbers on physical SIMs, hosted so that the SMS lands in your dashboard. That is why PayPal, Google and exchanges accept them.
Is a permanent number the same as renting a number?
Mechanically yes: both are monthly lines from the same catalog. Permanent means you renew it as a habit; the rental page covers a line taken for a fixed period.
Can I switch my existing account to this number?
Yes. Change the phone in the account settings of the service, confirm the code from the dashboard, and the account keeps working with the new number.
