## What did DaisySMS announce?

Its site states that it "has shut down on March 26, 2026", after an announcement on 24 February 2026, a notice period of 30 days. DaisySMS was used mostly for short-lived US numbers. If you still have accounts that list a DaisySMS number, their texts no longer reach you, and you cannot get the number back.
