used it today. worked flawless! google account verified
Registration works, but deposits are disabled, making the site functionally useless. If you already had an account with a number attached, you can deposit funds, but they disappear into the ether and are never credited to your account. No new numbers available for months.
Doesn’t work for me, cant get any numbers
was nice service until they stopped working lol. they are "out of numbers" for like 3 months already. registration is disabled too.
This is a premium, privacy focused SMS messaging service. Has no-KYC to create an account, and accepts XMR for payment. I bought a number and it was usable in a simple, easy to use interface. Though, I was only able to choose between 2 United States numbers and both had the same area code. Tested sending and receiving messages, both of which worked flawlessly. Was able to receive verification codes and got a telegram account created using the number. Whole process took about 10 minutes.
A lot of the other reviews claim this service is archived or no longer offers numbers, however this is clearly no longer the case. 10/10 service, haven't tested support yet though. There isn't any clear "help" or "contact" option listed on the site.
