Telnum is a virtual number service on telnum.net that combines one-time SMS numbers with several kinds of rented monthly numbers, payable in cryptocurrencies as well as by card and PayPal.
One-time (disposable) numbers are bought for a single verification: they cover 566 web services, receive exactly one SMS and are valid for unknown minutes. Prices start at unknown; if the SMS never arrives, the payment is refunded automatically.
Rented numbers come in four variants, all available in the personal account after registration:
- SMS only virtual number — a VoIP number that receives messages only.
- Voice+SMS virtual number — mobile or landline VoIP number that receives calls and messages; calls forward to SIP, Telegram or a phone number, messages to email, a phone number or HTTP.
- SMS Number for registration — a virtual number rented monthly that receives the same SMS as a real SIM, with no restriction on the number of messages. It starts from unknown per month and stays yours as long as the monthly fee is paid.
- Non-VoIP Number — a real mobile number backed by a physical SIM carrier rather than an internet line, also from unknown per month, receiving all SMS a real SIM of that carrier would receive, including repeated 2FA codes.
Incoming SMS can be forwarded free of charge to an email address or via HTTP(s), and received in Telegram via webhook. You can be located anywhere in the world and receive SMS to local numbers of your chosen countries.
Note that all numbers are rentals: once a lease expires, the number may be assigned to a new user. The minimum balance top-up is 10.00 USD.
