Receive SMS Online — Temporary Virtual Phone Numbers (2026)

Website: smsape.com
Social: All social networks

SmsApe is an online SMS verification platform that provides temporary phone numbers for receiving OTP codes. No physical SIM card, no KYC — pick a service and country in the dashboard, get a virtual number, and receive your verification code in seconds.

In-app catalog: 221 countries and 3,735 services in the live selector (after sign-up).
/services lists top services you enable in admin — featured service pages, not the full catalog. Same idea for /countries and /combinations. Stock and pricing vary; exact price is shown before purchase. Auto-refund if no SMS arrives.

1. What is SmsApe?

SmsApe lets you receive SMS online using temporary virtual phone numbers. Instead of using your personal number for app registrations, you rent a disposable number, use it once for verification, and keep your real phone private.

Common use cases: social media signup, messaging apps, marketplace accounts, developer testing, and international service access.

Get started: smsape.com


2. How it works

  1. Create a free account at smsape.com
  2. Top up balance (crypto: BTC, USDT, ETH, LTC, TON, XMR, and more)
  3. Select a service (e.g. Telegram, WhatsApp)
  4. Select a country (e.g. Germany, USA, UK)
  5. Purchase a temporary number
  6. Enter the number on the target platform
  7. Receive the OTP code in your dashboard (usually under 30 seconds)

Rent option: Long-term number rental is also available for services that need multiple SMS over days or weeks.
