  • For extra $10 you can reserve all the number for yourself; select "Dedicated SIM (+$10)". See details in What is "dedicated number"?
  • Attention! Telegram registration prices differs - the cheapest onetime is Kazakhstan ($1), then Russia and Ukraine ($3), then Poland and Latvia ($10); one year is $5 for Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine, and $12 for Poland and Latvia (differentiation caused by demand and SIM card self-cost)
  • We accept payments only in cryptocurrency, PerfectMoney, Qiwi. If you have no any of these tools, you wouldn't be able to pay and get service.
  • For special conditions (particular cellular operator, bulk order, voice codes reception etc), contact operator before the ordering to clarify everything

Won't you resell my number to someone else?
  • No, every web-service registration is unique, even for one-time usage, and will never be re-used
  • We're also don't resell physical SIM cards after usage; they either no more prolongated and dies, or destroyed physically.

    Hypothetically, it is possible your service to be overtaken if dead number would be re-issued by cellular operator and sold to someone as new. Several years may pass, but we didn't face such a situations yet.
Can I extend term of one year number?
Sure. If you left your contacts, we even remind you about this (this option is under construction). If no, number might not be destroyed after the leasing period, but not for sure. Please, ask for the prolongation before the time or not long time ago afterYou can prolongate your number automatically by visiting "Expired" tab in your PANEL. There is also an information about SIM card expiration date. Dead SIM cards can be theoretically restored in some cases, but its self-cost starts from $30.
What if my number lost or get dead?
We are maintaining our numbers park periodically, checking for physical presence and prolongating or performing paid actions according to cellular operators' rules.
Some force majeure situation might occur, like third party remote SIM theft using cellular operator insider (for Russian and Ukrainian numbers), or number might be blocked by operator for reason other than non-prolongation. Physical SIM card loss is an exception for us.

Independent from the reason your card has been lost, we offer moneyback or substitution for the term you've ordered the number, counting from the moment of loss.) With very low probability, number might be restored
What is "dedicated number"?
If you want your number not to be used for other clients to register their other web-services, you can secure all the number for you. Otherwise, number is shared (for example, if you have purchased number for Yahoo, you might get the number where other clients' Telegrams or Googles already present)
Making the number exclusive for you costs extra $10 (or included in particular pricing plans)
Can I test the service before pay?
Our service working good, we've tested it, thanks.
Yes, it's possible but depends on circumstances. If we unsure about successful reception, we offer you to test it before ordering.
What if no SMS coming?
Contact operator, we will try to replace number, change cellular operator or country, to get the positive result. We are using real physical SIM cards, so there's should not any problems to occur.
If service which sends SMS is temporary not working, we can do it later.

Please note that SMS could be delayed or not delivered properly from small Web sites or and domain sellers or hosting providers because of their SMS delivery system.

If result still negative, it is assumed you will get money back, but then we shall refuse to retry because of time expenses.
How many SMS I can receive on my longterm number?
Pricing plans are intended for irregular SMS reception. If you need it regular, more than once a week (2-3 times a week for Business plans), you can lease an automatic line or negotiate a surcharge with the operator (~$0.50 per SMS session). No surcharge taken in case of unintended event.
Business or Ordinal service - what the difference?
Business web-services are all related to finances. Others are considered as Ordnial. But not all finances-related services are in Business list, some of them considered as Ordinal so you can order it by the price of Ordinal
