Tellabot is a crypto-only service for one-time US phone numbers used for SMS verification. You request a private number for one of 700+ supported platforms and receive the OTP either in the web dashboard or via API webhook. Rates start at 0.05 USD per code, and you pay only after a verification SMS has actually been received.
Each one-time number is active for 15 minutes and can receive a single SMS; to get another message on the same number and service, you re-request it. Numbers are exclusive to your account while active. Sign-up needs only an email address and password — no identity documents are required for a standard account.
Top-ups are made in cryptocurrency only (LTC, BTC, USDT TRC-20 among others). Because blockchain transactions are irreversible, deposits and unused balance are final and non-refundable; a manual balance credit is possible case by case when the delivered SMS clearly did not belong to the requested verification attempt. For developers, an API with webhook delivery automates verification tasks; support runs through a ticket system.

What users report
All reviewsRatings on platforms are not representative and sometimes manipulated; they never count as evidence for facts. People mostly write when something goes wrong: hardly anyone posts “KYC was easy and worked right away”, but ten users with verification problems do, often because a step was missed. So we never weigh criticism on its own, only against other offers in the same category. Only the average ratings on App Store, Google Play and Trustpilot count towards our score, damped and compared within the category. Single reports and community posts do not, so the score cannot be swayed by bought reviews.
Praised
- + Code delivery1 author in 90 days

Criticised
- –
Distinct authors in 90 days. Happy users mostly praise in general terms, unhappy ones name details, so single topics collect more criticism.
Experience reports
Quotes from original reviews, chosen by rule: short reviews in full, longer ones shortened (… marks cuts). Positive and negative in the ratio of the platform stars, without names; the full review is behind the link.
