Popular searches
You can buy (rent) a real mobile phone number online from SMS Hallo in 181 countries with just an email address: pick a country, pick a number and pay with USDT or USDC on Tron, BNB Chain, Polygon, Base or Solana. The number is active as soon as the payment is confirmed and costs from $1.80 a month on the 12-month plan ($21.60 billed yearly), the same in every country.
Buying vs renting a phone number
When you “buy” a phone number online, you are really renting it for a period. Mobile numbers belong to a country's numbering plan, so no provider sells them outright; you get the right to use one for as long as you keep paying.
With SMS Hallo that period is 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at a time, and you can renew as often as you like. In practice the number is yours for as long as you want it.
Choosing the right country
Start with where the number will be used. If you are verifying an account that expects a local number, pick that country. If you sell to customers in one market, a number from that market looks familiar to them. If you only need privacy, any country you're comfortable with will do.
The price is the same in every country, from $1.80 a month on the 12-month plan, so you can choose on usefulness alone. Browse all 181 countries at /numbers, or look up dialing codes at /country-codes.
Paying with USDT or USDC
SMS Hallo accepts the stablecoins USDT and USDC on five networks: Tron, BNB Chain (BNB Smart Chain), Polygon, Base and Solana. Stablecoins are designed to track the US dollar, and prices are shown in US dollars.
You can pay in two ways. Pay directly for a number, with no top-up needed: you choose the network inside the payment window. Or top up a prepaid SMS Hallo wallet (minimum $5) and rent or renew numbers from your balance in one click.
The payment window shows the exact amount, the address and a QR code, with a 10-minute countdown. Send the exact amount, in the same token, on the same network. If you send from an exchange, check whether it takes a withdrawal fee from the amount, so the amount that arrives still matches.
Plans, renewal and auto-renew
The 12-month plan has the lowest monthly price, from $1.80 a month ($21.60 billed yearly). The 1-, 3- and 6-month plans are there if you want a shorter commitment; their prices are shown when you choose a number. There are no setup fees.
To keep a number, renew it before it expires, or turn on auto-renew in your dashboard so it renews at the end of each period. Auto-renew is easiest with a funded wallet, so the renewal can be paid when it is due.
If a number expires, it may later be given to someone else. Renew any number linked to accounts you want to keep.
What you get the moment you pay
Every number includes unlimited incoming SMS and calls, 500 outgoing SMS and 1,000 outgoing calling minutes per month. Allowances reset every 30 days.
Your dashboard has an SMS inbox that detects codes and copies them in one tap, a send-SMS screen, a browser dialer, a call log and usage meters. It also holds the free replacement and refund buttons.
Buying with confidence
Every purchase is covered by three guarantees: a 7-day free replacement (swap for another number in the same country, up to 3 times), a 100% refund if the number doesn't work with the app you rented it for, and a 7-day money-back guarantee if no call or SMS has been made or received.
Numbers are for legitimate use. SMS Hallo's Acceptable Use Policy forbids fraud, fake or bulk accounts, returning to a platform after a ban, and using a number to avoid identity or KYC checks.
Which type of number do you need?
Phone numbers you use online come in four main types, and they differ in who can read your messages and how long the number stays yours. Here is how they compare in general, so you can pick the right one for each account.
| Rented real mobile number (SMS Hallo) | One-time activation services | Free public receive-SMS sites | VoIP / second-number apps | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Who can read the SMS | Only you, while you rent the number | Usually only you, during the short activation | Anyone who visits the site | You, inside the app |
| How long you keep the number | As long as you renew: 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at a time, or auto-renew | Minutes, typically for one code | You don't own it; it's shared and can disappear | While your app subscription or account is active |
| Re-verification and 2FA recovery later | Yes, the number stays yours while you renew | Usually not; the number returns to a pool | Not reliable, and anyone can read the code | Possible, but some apps treat VoIP numbers differently |
| Outbound SMS and calls | Yes: 500 SMS and 1,000 minutes per month, plus unlimited incoming SMS and calls | Usually receive-only | Receive-only | Usually yes, depending on the app and plan |
| Typical pricing model | From $1.80 per month on the 12-month plan ($21.60 yearly), same in every country | Pay per code or per activation | Free, often supported by ads | Monthly subscription or credits |
| Refund or guarantee | 7-day free replacement, 100% refund if it doesn't work with your app, 7-day money-back if unused | Varies by service | None | Varies by provider |
| Countries | 181 countries | Varies by service | A limited, changing list | Often a few countries |

Frequently asked questions
Do I own the number after I buy it?
You rent it rather than own it, which is how mobile numbers work everywhere: they belong to a national numbering plan. While your plan is active, the number is assigned only to your account and nobody else can read its messages. Renew it for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months at a time, or turn on auto-renew, and you can keep it for as long as you like.
Which network should I choose for payment?
Use whichever of the five networks your wallet or exchange supports: Tron, BNB Chain (BNB Smart Chain), Polygon, Base or Solana. Network fees differ, so check the fee in your wallet before sending. The important part is consistency: the token and network you send must match what you selected in the payment window, and the amount must be exact. Sending on another network can delay or prevent the payment being matched.
What happens if the 10-minute payment window runs out?
Each payment window is open for 10 minutes. If the time runs out before you send, simply open a new payment and you'll get a fresh window with the exact amount and address. If you already sent funds and something looks wrong, don't send again; email support@smshallo.com with the transaction details, and the team usually replies within a few hours.
Should I pay directly or top up a wallet?
Pay directly if you want one number now: there is no top-up step, and you pick the network inside the payment window. Top up the prepaid wallet (minimum $5) if you plan to rent several numbers, renew often or use auto-renew. A funded wallet lets renewals go through when they are due, so you don't have to remember the date.
Can I buy more than one number?
Yes. You can rent numbers in several countries from the same account, and each one has its own page, inbox, dialer, allowances and expiry date. Many people keep one number for shopping and deliveries and another for work. Please keep it to genuine personal or business needs: creating fake or bulk accounts is not allowed under the Acceptable Use Policy.
Which plan has the lowest monthly price?
The 12-month plan has the lowest monthly price: from $1.80 per month, billed as $21.60 for the year, the same in every country. The 1-, 3- and 6-month plans cost more per month, and their prices are shown when you choose a number. There are no setup fees, and the included allowance of 500 outgoing SMS and 1,000 minutes per month is the same on every plan.
Can I switch to a different number after buying?
Yes, within the first 7 days. The free replacement lets you swap to another available number in the same country up to 3 times, and the new number keeps your plan and expiry date. If the number doesn't work with the app you rented it for, you can instead ask for a 100% refund within 7 days. You'll find both options on the number's page in your dashboard.
Do I get my money back if I change my mind?
Yes, if you haven't used it. The 7-day money-back guarantee gives you a full refund, no questions asked, if no call or SMS has been made or received on the number. If you did use it and it didn't work with your app, the separate 100% refund guarantee applies within 7 days. See /refund-policy for the details.
Is the number ready immediately?
Yes. As soon as your payment is confirmed on the blockchain, the number is active and can receive SMS and calls. Its page in your dashboard shows the inbox, the dialer and your usage meters. From there you can also turn on auto-renew, so the number renews at the end of each period while you still need it.
