  1. Open Verifications

    In the dashboard, open Verifications.

  2. Pick the platform and country

    Search for the platform you are verifying with — Telegram, Discord, Google and over a thousand more — then the country. Each shows its starting price.

  3. Choose an option, or take the best

    You see every option for that platform and country, best first: its price, its stock and — once real orders back it — its quality. The first one is a good choice nearly every time. See Choosing an option for when to pick another.

  4. Buy number

    Choose Buy number. The number appears with a countdown; the price comes off your balance.

  5. Use it, then copy the code

    Enter the number on the platform. When the SMS arrives, the code appears on the order — usually within a minute or two. Copy it and finish signing up.

No code, no charge

If no code arrives before the countdown ends, the full price goes back to your balance automatically. You can also Cancel any time before a code arrives. See When no code arrives.

Don't keep these numbers on accounts you care about

A number is yours only for the order. Afterwards it can be issued to someone else, who would then receive its messages. Never use one as a recovery or two-factor number for an account you mean to keep — use a rental or your own number for that.
