About the company

Product lanes

A line of your own, or a single code

Two ways to receive a text in the United States or Canada, and one balance that pays for either. Keep a number for as long as you need it, or rent one for a single verification and let it go.

01

US and Canada business numbers

from $0.50/mo

A dedicated local line you keep for months or years. Inbound SMS, one-time codes and calls, for every service you sign up for, on one number and one wallet. Messages from $0.005 each, calls from $0.005 a minute.

02

OTP activations

from $0.02

A temporary activation for a single code, when a line of your own is more than the job needs. Pick a country and a service, see the retail price, then wait for the SMS. Unused activations are refunded.

03

Prepaid wallet

$0.50 min

Both lanes bill from one balance, topped up by card through Stripe Checkout. The spendable figure is the sum of an append-only ledger — every credit, debit and refund is a row you can read.

The full SMS and call rate card for a dedicated line, country by country, is on the business numbers page. eSIM data plans are not for sale yet; when they ship they will run on this same wallet and ledger, and nothing in the pricing above changes.

How it works

One account, two lanes, one wallet

No monthly platform fee and no contract. You fund a prepaid balance and spend it on either lane — a temporary activation or a line you keep.

  1. 01

    Create an account

    Email and a password of at least 10 characters. That is the only identity we ask for.

  2. 02

    Top up the wallet

    Card payment through Stripe Checkout. The ledger is credited when Stripe confirms the charge — not when you click pay.

  3. 03

    Start an OTP activation

    Pick a country and a service, see the retail price, and the wallet is debited for that figure and no other. An unused activation is refunded automatically.

    Buy an activation
  4. 04

    Buy a US/CA line

    Search United States and Canada inventory, confirm the exact setup and monthly, and the wallet is debited — the number is yours and appears in your dashboard.

    Search & buy a line
  5. 05

    Read the SMS here

    OTP codes appear on the activation page as they arrive. Each dedicated number has its own inbox for inbound SMS in the dashboard.

Pricing

Where each lane starts

A floor per lane, and the live table under it. Dedicated lines start from $0.50/mo with messages from $0.005 and calls from $0.005 a minute — the country-wise card is on the numbers page. The figure on screen at checkout is what the wallet will debit.

Dedicated lines are self-serve — search inventory, confirm the exact price, and pay from your wallet. Inbound SMS lands on the number’s thread in the dashboard.

How much is a dedicated US or Canada number?
Dedicated US and Canada numbers start from $0.50/mo, plus any setup fee, with per-message and per-minute prices shown on the business numbers page. The figure shown at checkout is what the wallet is debited.
Can I buy a US or Canada number myself?
Yes. After you sign up and top up, you search United States and Canada inventory, confirm the exact setup and monthly, and the wallet is debited — the number is yours and appears in your dashboard.
