Temp numbers activation service
Many people want to keep their personal number from spam and unwanted messages, temp number from SMS activation service may solve this problem, save your money and keep your number private.
Most services offer you disposable numbers for SMS verification during registration — you can receive only one SMS for a specific platform and that’s it.
Second Number also provides temp numbers for SMS, but with one key difference: you can rent a number from 1 week up to 1 year, and receive SMS from multiple services as needed during the rental period.
Benefits of temp numbers from Second Number
| Country/Region | Rental Periods & Prices |
|---|---|
| Swedish number | 7 days — $3 / 1 week — $4 / 6 months — $5 / 12 months — $7 |
| USA number | 7 days — $4 / 1 month — $5 (only these periods available) |
| UK number | 7 days — $4 / 1 week — $5 / 6 months — $6 / 12 months — $7 |
All of these numbers can receive unlimited SMS during the entire rental period.
We recommend renting numbers for one year if you plan to keep your accounts long-term. Many services may request re-verification by SMS, and if you only rented the number for a week, you won’t have access to it anymore. This is especially important for people who want to separate personal and work accounts.
