Free SMS questions
Are messages private?
No. Public numbers and inboxes may be visible to every visitor. Never submit personal or sensitive information.
Why did no code arrive?
A service may block shared numbers, or the number may be offline or limited. Public service does not guarantee delivery.
When should I buy a number?
Compare paid options when you need account-based number and order access. Review validity, scope, and the destination service’s rules before choosing.
