How to buy and use virtual numbers?

Getting Phone number in smsenger app


Working with modern applications, especially those aimed at highly specialized activities, such as buying online numbers, can be difficult for a person who has decided to understand this topic for the first time. In this article, we will help you understand all the nuances of buying a number for a second account or simply registering in the service of a country where you are not currently located and do not have the opportunity to buy a physical SIM card.

  1. Register in the smsenger app

    Enter your own data or try to login using Google or Yandex, it is comfortable!

  2. Top up your account balance
    You can click on the wallet icon in the app header, where the payment page will be available.

    Or go to Settings → Balance replenishment

    Enter the deposit amount (at least 50 rubles), apply the promo code (if available), choose a convenient payment method, and pay the invoice.

  3. Purchase of a virtual number

    After payment, go back to the main page where the list of services is presented, find the one you need in the list or type in the search field (you can use it in Russian).

    And if you need to order a number for a service that is not available in my country?

    In this case, click on the checkbox to select the desired country, find the one you need in the list of countries

    Next, click on the desired service, in the dialog box that opens — confirm the purchase

  4. Receiving sms to the issued phone number

    After purchasing the service, you will see the issued number in the activation list. You need to copy it by clicking on the number.

    After the number has been copied, go to the app or website of the service you need, paste the received number on the registration or authorization page.

    Click continue (or next)

    Now that you have entered your phone number and clicked continue, wait for an SMS to arrive in the smsenger app. The received code will be displayed in the activation list.

    Copy the code by clicking on it, paste it on the site of your service

    What should I do if the text message doesn't arrive for a long time?

    If the SMS doesn't arrive for more than 5-10 minutes, you can cancel activation by clicking on the cross next to the waiting timer.
    Don't worry, the money will be returned to your balance if the SMS was never received. Try to buy the service you need again. You will be given a different number, to which, most likely, the text message will already be delivered.
    Such problems may be caused by a high load on the application servers.

    What should I do if I didn't receive a text message, but the waiting time has already expired?

    The money for the purchase will be returned to the balance, remove the activation in the archive by clicking on the cross and buy a new number.


    I need to get another code for the issued number, how do I do this?

    This option is available, but only for some services. After receiving the first sms, they will have an icon for re-receiving sms in the form of two arrows in place of the timer

    You can receive a second SMS within 15 minutes of purchasing the number. There is no additional charge for this.

    I often buy numbers for one service, how can I avoid searching for it every time I log in to the app?

    Add a service to your favorites by clicking on the checkbox next to the name, it will always be at the top of the list of services

    I don't see the service I need in the list, so what should I do?

    If you need a service for a specific country, but it is not in the list, then you can buy a universal number (it is only suitable for those services that are not included in the main list)

    Or click on " All countries" in the country selection list.

    Now you will see a list of all possible services in the smsenger app at the lowest prices (countries will be individual for each service to calculate the minimum price)
