## Site description

SMS-Act is an independent SMS verification service. It sells one-time temporary phone numbers on real carrier SIM routes rather than VoIP, for receiving a single verification code. Pricing is a flat 8 credits per attempt for every country and service; if no code arrives, the order can be cancelled and the credits return to the user's account automatically. Numbers are valid for about 15 minutes and are never rented. Top-ups are through Stripe.

Stated limits: no number rental or long-term numbers; no mainland China +86 numbers; no South Korea +82 numbers; no Telegram verification; SMS only (no voice); it cannot pass identity checks such as document upload, selfie liveness, national real-name verification, or bank and payment-app KYC. It is not a good fit for accounts the user needs to recover later, or for getting around a service's country availability or account limits.

SMS-Act is not affiliated with SMS-Activate, which shut down on 2025-12-29. Content is available in nine languages: Simplified Chinese (root), Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, French and Indonesian.
