--- title: "Quackr Alternative: Real Numbers in 181 Countries" description: "Quackr rents private non-VoIP numbers in 15+ countries. SMS Hallo rents real mobile numbers in 181 countries from $1.80/month, calls included." canonical: https://smshallo.com/alternatives/quackr-alternative language: en last_updated: 2026-09-30 --- # Quackr alternative: private numbers in far more countries Quackr offers free temporary numbers and paid private non-VoIP numbers from 15+ countries, rented for a week, a month, six months or a year. If you need a number from a country outside that list, or want calls and outgoing SMS included, SMS Hallo rents real mobile numbers in 181 countries. ## What Quackr is Quackr runs two kinds of service: free temporary numbers, and paid numbers. The paid numbers are dedicated, non-VoIP numbers that, according to its rental page, only you can access, with unlimited incoming SMS. The rental page lists 15+ countries, including the US, the UK, Germany and Australia, and rental lengths of 1 week, 1 month, 6 months or a full year, with lower prices for longer periods. It says each number comes with a free @quackr.id email address and that an API is available. ## Quackr payment, renewals and refunds Quackr's rental page says it accepts all major credit and debit cards and dozens of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum. Its terms say card rentals of one month or longer are automatically renewing subscriptions through Stripe that you can cancel at any time, with access continuing until the end of the paid period. Its refund policy says that if a number is not receiving messages you should report it within 48 hours; Quackr will try to fix or replace it, and if the problem continues after two replacement attempts you become eligible for a full refund. A number counts as used once it receives one code, and used numbers are not refunded or exchanged. Crypto refunds are paid in USDC on Ethereum. The pages we checked do not say whether ID is required, and they do not mention sending SMS or making calls from a rented number. ## How SMS Hallo differs Country choice is the clearest difference: SMS Hallo rents numbers in 181 countries at the same price in each, while Quackr lists 15+ countries for its paid numbers. Every SMS Hallo number also includes unlimited incoming calls, 500 outgoing SMS and 1,000 outgoing minutes per month. And under its guarantees you can swap a number free up to 3 times within 7 days, or get a 100% refund if it doesn't work with the app you rented it for. ## When Quackr may suit you better If the number you need is in one of Quackr's countries and you only need it for a week, its weekly rental is a shorter commitment than SMS Hallo's shortest 1-month plan. Quackr may also suit you if you prefer to pay by card with an automatic subscription, or if one of its free temporary numbers is enough for something where privacy doesn't matter. ## Why people choose a rented number A rented number is one you keep. SMS Hallo rents real mobile numbers (non-VoIP, in each country's local mobile format) in 181 countries, and a number stays yours for as long as you renew it, 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at a time, or automatically with auto-renew. That matters because many apps ask for a code again later: when you sign in on a new phone, reset a password or confirm a change to your account. If you still hold the number, the new code lands in the same private inbox. After a rental ends, a number may be given to someone else, so keep renewing any number linked to an account you care about. Every number includes unlimited incoming SMS, unlimited incoming calls, 500 outgoing SMS and 1,000 outgoing calling minutes per month, used from the browser dashboard with its SMS inbox, send-SMS screen, dialer and call log. Allowances reset every 30 days, and unused allowance does not roll over. The price is the same in every country: from $1.80 per month on the 12-month plan ($21.60 billed yearly), with no setup fees. Prices for 1-, 3- and 6-month plans are shown when you choose a number. You pay in USDT or USDC on Tron, BNB Chain, Polygon, Base or Solana, either from a prepaid wallet (minimum top-up $5) or directly for a number. Sign-up needs only an email and a password: no SIM card, no ID documents and no local address. While you rent a number, only you can see its messages, and SMS Hallo never publishes inboxes. ## The three SMS Hallo guarantees Every SMS Hallo rental comes with three guarantees, which you can use from buttons in the dashboard. 7-day free replacement: within 7 days you can swap the number for another available number in the same country, free, up to 3 times. The new number keeps your plan and expiry date. Works, or 100% refund: if the number doesn't work with the app you rented it for, for example the code never arrives, request a refund within 7 days and get back 100% of what you paid. 7-day money-back: if no call or SMS has been made or received on the number, you can get a full refund within 7 days, no questions asked. ## Using a second number responsibly SMS Hallo is meant for privacy and for keeping a second number for legitimate sign-ups, such as separating work and personal accounts or not handing your main number to every website. Its Acceptable Use Policy forbids fraud, creating fake or bulk accounts, breaking an app's terms, coming back to an app after being banned, and using a number to get through bank or identity (KYC) checks that are meant for you personally. Each app decides which numbers it accepts, so no provider can promise that a particular app will take a number. If an SMS Hallo number doesn't work with the app you rented it for, the guarantees above cover you. ## How to get started with SMS Hallo 1. Create an SMS Hallo account with your email and a password. 2. Choose the country you need, pick a number and choose a 1-, 3-, 6- or 12-month plan. Prices for shorter plans are shown when you choose a number. 3. Pay in USDT or USDC, either from a prepaid wallet (minimum top-up $5) or directly for the number. The payment window shows the exact amount, the address or QR code and a 10-minute countdown; send the exact amount on the same network. 4. Enter the number in the app you want to verify and read the code in your SMS Hallo inbox, where codes are detected and can be copied with one tap. 5. For accounts you plan to keep, turn on auto-renew so the number stays yours. | | SMS Hallo | Quackr | |---|---|---| | Type | Rented real mobile number (non-VoIP), 1 to 12 months, renewable | Free temporary numbers, plus private non-VoIP rentals (1 week to 1 year) | | Price model | From $1.80/month on the 12-month plan ($21.60 billed yearly), same in every country | Price per rental period; longer periods cost less | | Payment | USDT or USDC on Tron, BNB Chain, Polygon, Base or Solana | Credit and debit cards, and dozens of cryptocurrencies | | Identity checks | Email and password only; no SIM card, ID documents or local address | Not stated | | Countries | 181 countries | 15+ countries for paid numbers | | Refunds | 7-day free replacement, 100% refund if it doesn't work with the app, 7-day money-back | Report within 48 hours; full refund if two replacements fail; no refund once a code is received | | Outbound SMS & calls | 500 SMS and 1,000 minutes per month included | Not stated | ## Frequently asked questions ** ### Which countries does Quackr offer? ** Its rental page lists 15+ countries for paid numbers, including the US, the UK, Germany and Australia.
