Receive SMS online with a virtual number
Receive SMS online without a SIM: a virtual number of the country you need takes the verification message from any service and shows it in your dashboard. One code or a month of messages, visible only to you, never shared with strangers on a public page.
Receive SMS online without a SIM: what an SMS number is
Receive SMS online by country: prices
Live catalog: the monthly price of a number that receives SMS for a month and, on the second tab, the price per single code. Every row leads to the country page, where the same number is described for every service.
Catalog prices: permanent number (receives SMS), billed monthly — updated automatically. For a single sign-up a one-time number is enough.
Receive SMS on a paid number or on a public receiver
Public sites that receive SMS for free exist. The dashboard at BasolinoVoIP keeps the number, the codes and the renewals in one place. The difference is not the SMS, it is who else reads it and whether the service still accepts the number.
| Public receiver | Your SMS number | |
|---|---|---|
| Who reads the code | Anyone on the site | Only your dashboard |
| Services accept the number | Usually already used and blocked | Numbers from a live catalog |
| Number stays yours | No | For a month or for as long as you renew |
| Strict services | Refused as VoIP | Non-VoIP lines available |
| If nothing arrives | Nobody to ask | Support and the refund policy |
What people receive SMS for
One SMS number, one verification, no personal phone in the form.
A line that receives login and confirmation SMS for a project for as long as it runs.
An SMS number with the dial code a service or an audience expects.
Which service sends the SMS
Every service tile shows how many countries currently receive its codes and the lowest price per code; monthly numbers receive SMS from all of them.
Receive SMS with a number of a specific country
Receive SMS online with a UK number, a US number, a German or an Indian one: every country in the catalog takes messages the same way, and each country page has its own section on receiving SMS. The most requested directions are the United Kingdom and the USA; the cards below show live stock for both formats.
Virtual SMS number to receive SMS online: explained
A virtual SMS number is a phone number hosted online whose only job is to receive text messages and show them to you. You buy an SMS number in a browser, enter it where a service asks for a phone, and the verification code appears in your dashboard within a minute or two. It is the plain product behind every other page on this site: a number for a service, a number of a country and a number for a single code are all SMS numbers seen from different sides.
Two formats cover the demand. A single-code SMS number is paid per received message and is the cheapest way to buy an SMS verification number for one sign-up. A monthly SMS number, permanent or rented, receives every message sent to it for the paid period; that is the format for logins, two-step codes and anything a service re-checks. Strict services check the range of the number, and the monthly lines in the catalog are physical mobile numbers, the kind those services accept.
The difference from a public receive-SMS site is the reason to pay: the message is visible only in your dashboard, the number is not shared, and it is not already burned at the service you are signing up for. When nothing arrives, there is support and a written refund policy instead of a page that shrugs.
Questions about receiving SMS online
What is a virtual SMS number?
A real phone number hosted online that receives text messages and shows them in your dashboard. You use it wherever a service asks for a phone to send a code.
How do I buy an SMS number here?
Pick the country and the format in the picker or the table, pay, and the number appears in your dashboard. Enter it in the service and read the SMS in the same dashboard.
Does the SMS number receive messages from any service?
Yes, from any sender that sends SMS. Keep one number per account all the same: services count phones and a shared line puts several accounts at risk.
How is this different from free receive-SMS sites?
On a public site everyone reads the messages and the numbers are usually already blocked by the services. Your SMS number is visible only to you and comes from a live catalog.
Can I receive SMS online without a SIM card?
Yes. The number exists online; the dashboard works from any device with a browser, and no SIM or app is needed.
How long does an SMS number stay active?
A single-code number until it receives the code; a monthly number for the paid month and for as long as you extend it.
Can I get an SMS number of a specific country?
Yes. The catalog covers 50 countries with monthly numbers and more directions for single codes; each country page shows live stock.
Will strict services accept the SMS number?
Monthly lines in the catalog are physical mobile numbers, which PayPal, Google and exchanges accept. For a single code, check the service page: it lists numbers that currently pass.
How fast does the SMS arrive?
Usually within a couple of minutes of the service sending it. The dashboard shows the message next to the number as soon as it lands.
Can I see the SMS from my phone?
Yes, in the browser dashboard on any phone. Messages are not forwarded to a SIM; they are displayed where the number lives.
What if the SMS never arrives?
Check the dashboard first, then write to support from it with the number and order. Failed deliveries are handled under the refund policy.
Is buying an SMS number cheap?
A single code costs a fraction of a monthly line; the live table shows both prices per country so you can pick the cheapest direction that works for you.
