How did we compare them?
- Scope: does the number receive texts from any service, or only from one?
- Period: how long you can keep it, and whether renewal keeps the same number.
- Price: public list price for about 30 days, in the provider's currency.
- Payment and identity: accepted crypto, and any ID check the provider states.
- Honesty of terms: whether refunds and number recycling are explained.
1. KeepANumber: rentals of 7 to 90 days, crypto only
Our service. Numbers in 14 countries, each with a page of sourced telecom facts; $8.50 for 7 days, $13.50 for 30 days and $29 for 90 days in the US. No ID upload, payment in six coins. Limits: SMS only, no calls, no API, and the stock per country changes during the day.
2. SMSPool: extendable US and UK rentals
Its public price list showed a US number at $6 for a day, $12 for 7 days and $18 for 28 days, and a UK number at $20 for 30 days, $40 for 180 days and $55 for 360 days. Long periods are its strength. A July 2026 forum thread reports that it is removing direct Monero payments; its website was behind a bot check when we read it.
3. TextVerified: US SIM-based numbers per service
TextVerified says all its numbers are non-VoIP numbers on physical SIM cards. Long-term rentals start at $5 a month per service, short rentals of 1 to 14 days at $1.50. It accepts cards and seven crypto options but states that crypto payments are not refunded. US numbers only.
4. JuicySMS: packages in euros
Packages of €15 for one month, €30 for three, €50 for six and €70 for a year, the same for its US, UK, Dutch and German selector. It describes its numbers as real mobile SIMs, offers auto-renewal with a three-day grace period, and states that refunds are not available once a number is assigned. Minimum deposit €10.
5. VirtualSMS: European full-access rentals
"Full Access" rentals receive texts from any service, from $4.99 a day to $44.99 for 30 days depending on the country; the US is not listed for this plan. Unrenewed numbers go back to its pool. Balance credit if you cancel within 20 minutes with no SMS received.
6. SMSPVA: per-service rentals by the day
Prices are per day and per service: $1.50 a day for its "Other" US service, $1.70 for the UK. The maximum guaranteed period is 90 days, 21 for Canada. Its AML policy of May 2026 requires an ID and liveness check for card payments. Operated by Numberly Ltd (Marshall Islands).
7. PVADeals: one website per number
The smallest prices in this list, from $1.25 for 7 days and $2.25 for 30 days, for a number used with one website. "All Services" rentals exist but were not priced. It states that it does not offer refunds, with wallet credit possible for a bad number.
