Answers to common questions about AnonSIM temporary numbers: how they work, payments, refunds, privacy and supported countries.
A virtual number is a phone number that is not tied to a physical SIM card or device. It receives SMS online, so you can use it exactly like a real number to get verification codes — without exposing your personal phone number.
You sign up with a 16-character account number. No email address, password, or identity documents are required, so your account cannot be linked to your real identity.
Top-ups are paid in cryptocurrency through our payment partner. We never see bank cards or traditional payment credentials tied to your identity. There are no subscriptions — you only pay for the numbers you use.
AnonSIM offers temporary numbers for many countries and hundreds of popular services, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook, Google and more. The full, live list of countries and services is available on your dashboard after signup.
No. Anonymous registration is the core principle of AnonSIM. We do not require an email address, legal name, or government ID at any point.
If no SMS arrives within the order window, cancel the order after the short protection hold and your balance will be refunded automatically. You can also wait for the order to expire — unused orders are refunded the same way.
The number stays active for the duration of the order window (shown on your dashboard with a countdown). It is reserved for you alone and is never reused by another customer.
No. We do not sell, rent, or hand over your account details, balance history, order records, purchased numbers, or received SMS messages to advertisers, data brokers, or other third parties. See the full Privacy Policy for details.
Each order is bound to the service and country you selected. For verifications on a different service, simply buy a new number — this keeps success rates high, since numbers are fresh and dedicated.
Using a temporary number to protect your privacy is legal in most jurisdictions. The service is intended for lawful use only — for example, personal account verification and QA testing. You are responsible for complying with the terms of the services you verify on.
