You need to indicate the left number where to get it. Free SMS reception

How receive sms online through the Internet?

To receive SMS online, there are special sites that provide a special virtual number to which you can receive an SMS message. All the sites presented in this review are free and do not require registration. I will talk about the best services in my opinion for receiving SMS online and how to use them correctly.

This article will be constantly updated so as not to lose its relevance. Therefore, if you know other services that provide a virtual number for receiving SMS, drop the link in the comments. I mean something sensible and useful for users, not an advertisement for some th###o-site!

In what cases may you need a virtual number to receive SMS? There are many different situations. Receiving SMS online can be used primarily to improve anonymity. Using virtual numbers, the user can avoid surveillance on the Internet. Here are examples of using services for receiving SMS messages.

• To receive SMS confirmation online.
• SMS online via the Internet can be used when registering in in social networks, classmates, vkonatka, etc.
• Also, receiving SMS online may be needed when registering mailboxes.

Virtual number without registration

In this chapter, I will talk about online services that do not require registration. These sites can be used when you need to quickly and free of charge receive SMS online. You can send SMS to such virtual numbers only if it does not contain any sensitive data.

Sensitive data for me is not an activation code or a password with a login until the link or the name of the site from which the SMS was sent is not specified. This information can be not only in the visible part of the email, but also in the technical headers (RFC headers) of the email. We talked about this in the article “How to find out IP by mail”. The link was above.

Here is an example of how you cannot use a virtual number without registration. I blurred out the password and login of some poor fellow, somehow I don’t want to participate in your hacking.

Many not very advanced users do not take into account what I talked about above and by such thoughtless actions they lose access to their own and other people's accounts. Therefore, if you delve into such sites, you can find a lot of edible things. But do not forget that using someone else's data for authorization is also hacking in a sense. And as you know, for hacking in any country, the law provides for a period.

Sellaite

Let's start with the Sellaite website. This site allows you to receive free SMS online using one of the free numbers at that time.

The service does not require registration. To receive SMS online, go to the website page and click on an available number.

Keep in mind that the number provided for SMS can change at any time. Therefore, register on it only that which will not require future confirmation and linking to the number.

Receive-SMS-Online

The next site is called Receive-SMS-Online . Among the possible virtual numbers, Russian and Ukrainian ones often come across. Which can be very useful for our audience.

Registration is not required to receive SMS. We go to choose the number and send SMS.

This is another general public virtual number for receiving sms, so it has the same rules as the first service.

FreeOnlinePhone

FreeOnlinePhone - the site provides online numbers to receive SMS. No Russian numbers were noticed, but despite this, the site works stably.

ReceiveSMSOnline

ReceiveSMSOnline is another service that offers a virtual number for free. At the time of writing, the service provided only British and American virtual numbers, although the description mentions at least two more countries: Canada and Sweden.

Virtual number for free

During the testing of this service, there were delays. From one source, SMS was about 20 minutes, from another about 30.

Receive-SMS

Receive-SMS is another site that provides a virtual number for receiving SMS for free and without registration.

In addition to a free virtual number, it offers the sale of numbers. The price for one room for one month is 9$.

ReceiveFreeSMS

The next service is ReceiveFreeSMS . Offers virtual number for free. And not a number, but a whole bunch of virtual numbers from different countries.

Free reception sms

This best service In my opinion. I will pray for his health, I hope he lives for a long time and will please anonymous people.

Keep in mind. Some large sites determine the virtual number and refuse to send SMS to it. This happens extremely rarely, but it happens. So if you can't receive SMS on specific number or in general for some service, then you should not be upset, try another. It is also worth considering the fact that virtual numbers are not durable and tend to change frequently.

That's like all. In fact, I wanted to supplement this list with other sites for receiving SMS online via the Internet, which, although they require registration, have richer functionality. But the article dragged on a little, and I decided that the continuation would be in another article. So subscribe to public in social networks so as not to miss.

The Internet opens up great opportunities not only for unlimited communication, but also for the privacy of one's person. One of these services is a virtual number - a "fake" phone that receives incoming messages and calls, forwarding them to the user's real phone number. A virtual number is useful both for doing business and for personal interests, especially when registering on social networks and websites in order to limit your personal number from a lot of unnecessary mailings and third-party calls. A virtual number can be one-time, for example, needed to register a new page in VK, or for permanent use (conducting commercial activities). In the first case, it will free service, and with constant use - a virtual number will need to be purchased.

The scope of use of a virtual number is quite wide:

• with their help, you can forward an incoming call to any landline, mobile phone or IP address;
• receive incoming text messages(SMS);
• used for sending SMS-mailings;
• they are indicated when registering on various websites and social networks;
• you can write to a virtual number voice messages and accept them;
• this is a very convenient service for mass customer service through the voice menu, etc.

Free virtual number services

There are a lot of services that provide virtual number services. We will look at the 3 most popular and simple ones that provide this service for free:

1. Twilio
2. TextNow
3. countrycode.org

Twilio

- a well-thought-out service, the main activity of which is to provide IP-telephony services around the world. High tech and high-quality development are the main advantages of the service. Therefore, its main functionality is paid. But there is an opportunity to work in test mode for free. To do this, you need to register on the Twilio website (menu " sign up”) and you can get a number to receive messages in order to register on the site.

The registration procedure requires the indication of an e-mail address, personal user data, and a password.

Confirmation of registration is carried out by sending an SMS to a real phone number with a code that must be entered in the appropriate field on the site.

In order for the system to send a virtual number to the user, you need to click "Get you First Twilio number", that is, "Get a number".

There is one caveat - the service is completely English-speaking. But the whole registration procedure is standard, so there should be no difficulties in this, especially if you have basic knowledge in English. But the problem may arise when finding a suitable virtual phone number. The fact is that there are no Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian numbers in the Twilio database, so the client will be offered a US phone by default. If it does not fit, you can select a suitable number of another country from the list.

To do this, click "Search":

If you agree with the terms of the system, in the "Features" list ( Capabilities) indicate why you need a virtual number: MMS, SMS, calls or all together.
This is necessary to select a suitable free number, since not all available in the database can receive and send text messages. Next, select "Search".

The numbers that you can use to register will appear on the screen. Choose one of them. To read the messages received by this number, for example, the confirmation code sent for registration on a social network, go to the menu " Logs» -> «SMS & MMS»:

At any time, the number can be released (if you no longer need it). To do this, simply enter "Numbers", then - "Twilio Numbers" and select - " Release Number»:

TextNow

- excellent service for free receipt virtual phone number. The main advantage of TextNow is that the system gives out the number not on certain time but for permanent use. In addition, the web service has mobile version as an application on Android, PC and other operating systems. Despite the fact that the service is free, as, so to speak, payment, you will constantly be shown ads. If this interferes with work, you can simply buy an inexpensive subscription and use virtual numbers constantly without interference. The service is suitable for calls, registration on various sites, text and multimedia messaging, call forwarding and receiving voice mail.

To start using the capabilities of TextNow, you need to install the application or register on the site. But here a problem may arise, since the system often does not pass the IP addresses of the CIS countries:

But this problem can be dealt with. So, the virtual number will be issued as quickly as possible, automatically.

The service is also in English. In the "Conversionals" section, you can view incoming SMS messages, and in the "My Account" section, you can see your number.

countrycode.org

- service virtual telephony, which has a huge number of numbers in the database of all countries of the world. Free use service is possible within 10 days. But you can only spend no more than $4 on communication.

To use a Countrycode.org virtual number, you need to follow a few simple steps:

Each of these services has its own challenges and advantages. The easiest to work, in our opinion, is Twilio. And there, it's up to you!

Today, registration on many services is possible only with a unique phone number. Such services include the social network VKontakte. If for some reason you are faced with the need to register a second page on this site, but you have only one phone number, then you will be refused, since only one account can be linked to one phone. There is a way out - this is the use of virtual numbers.

Today, the Internet offers users a lot of useful services, among which the service of receiving SMS on a computer for registration in social networks has gained great popularity not so long ago. Such services allow you to rent a phone number for a while, which you can specify when registering for the service and successfully receive an SMS message on it. More, as a rule, users do not need.

Services for registering VKontakte

As you understand, today there is far from one service for receiving SMS messages to a virtual number. Below we will consider the most stable and popular ones.

It is one of the most popular services for renting virtual numbers. Naturally, the services of the service are not free, but they are more than humane. So, for example, the cost of receiving SMS for registration in VK will cost you only 12 rubles. Agree, the price is ridiculous.

To work with the service, you will need to register an account, and then replenish your internal wallet with the required amount (the site provides registration rates for other social networks, moreover, you can immediately purchase a ready-made account).

After choosing a service, you will be assigned a special number, which must be indicated in the field when creating a page in VK. The SMS message will be sent to the sms-reg profile.

Another service from the same category as Sms-reg, however, unlike the first one, here the prices for registration in social networks are a little lower.

So, using the capabilities of this service, you can register new account Vkontakte for only 10 rubles. In general, the first and this services are very similar.

If the first two services are mainly aimed at registering in social networks, then Online SIM is a much more advanced version of the virtual number service, which allows you to receive messages, make mailings and even set up forwarding.

In addition, it is worth paying tribute to this service here - it allows you to try using the service of receiving SMS messages for free, which will allow you to register in VK without extra cash costs. If you want to use the service on an ongoing basis, for example, extending the activity of the number in case you are blocked in VK, then you will have to pay for the services of the service, but the fee is more than humane.

If you know services proven by your own experience for creating virtual numbers in order to create a VKontakte account, share them in the comments.

Today, more and more Internet services require you to indicate the number when registering mobile phone. From a security point of view, this makes sense: SMS confirmation greatly reduces the risk of account hacking. But there are situations when a phone call only interferes. For example, when creating another profile on the same resource.

We usually own only one or two SIM cards. If their numbers are already present in the site database, there are problems with registration. What do we do in such cases? Or we refuse the idea, or we beg relatives and friends to let us use their phones. However, there is an easier way - a virtual phone number for rent.

Purpose, features and benefits of virtual numbers

We figured out one of the types of virtual numbers - they are used to receive SMS when registering on social networks, for example, VK and Odnoklassniki, as well as on other web sites. The duration of the lease is from 5 minutes to a day. The cost of the service is symbolic. And in some places it's free.

Another type of virtual phone is used in business. In this area, they are used not for registering on websites, but for their main purpose - for receiving and making calls, as well as for SMS / MMS and fax messages. Such numbers are leased (usually long-term) by telecom operators in various regions. The essence of the service is as follows: the subscriber (enterprise) is located in one region, and works in another. In order not to go broke on paying for roaming and long-distance communications, the company buys (leases) a virtual number in the region of work, all data from which is forwarded to real phones or PBX of the customer. The number, as a rule, is provided by the usual - municipal. Rarely mobile.

Advantages of virtual telephony:

• For users of VKontakte and other social networks - the ability to create an unlimited number of accounts.
• For those who register on the websites of stores and trading platforms - the ability to avoid telephone spam and protect themselves from scammers.
• For subscribers of paid gaming, music and other web services with a free trial period, where the user is identified by a phone number: the ability to extend the free period for an unlimited time.
• For business - savings on communication services. Simplification of communications with the enterprise for customers and partners in remote regions (this is no less important than personal savings, because few people want to pay for calls to your company at intercity rates).

The best services for receiving SMS with Russian numbers

OnlineSim.ru

OnlineSim.ru is a classic paid, but inexpensive service for registering on Internet sites. Provides the following features:

• Select a number from an unlimited database. This ensures that no one has used it before you. The database is available 24 hours a day
• Receive SMS to the number you previously used.
• Forward incoming calls to your personal mobile phone.

After registration (here it is required) you have to replenish your account. Currently (December 2016) 6 top-up options are available:

• PayPal.
• Yandex money.
• Bank cards.
• Qiwi.
• Bitcoin.
• Z-payment (supports many various ways payment).

Tariffs, as you can see from the screenshot, are low. The most expensive is 17 rubles for the immediate provision of a registration number for VKontakte, which receives SMS within 20 minutes. If you want to save a little, you can get a used number for 12 rubles (but not used on this service), which sometimes has to wait quite a long time.

The cheapest way is to rent a phone to receive SMS from Mamba, Yandex, WhatsApp, Telegram, SEOsprint, Friend Around, Steam, Uber and OpenI. Immediately - 3 rubles, used with a delay - 2 rubles.

OnlineSim offers a choice of MTS, Beeline and Megafon numbers. Optionally, you can set up a filter so that only one operator's phones are shown to you. Here you can also "filter" the region (Moscow, St. Petersburg), the possibility of forwarding SMS to a personal mobile phone and the service option (repeat messages and extend the lease).

An account statement (with operations, expense amounts and dates) is available for ordering on the website. And if there are difficulties or problems, you can always contact technical support.

In many ways, the hike is similar to the previous service. Here, too, a huge database of free, never used phones for registration on various resources is collected. Average rates are the same. So, renting a number to create a VK account costs 8-10 rubles. Buy a ready-made account - 12 rubles.

It will cost a little more to rent a number for receiving SMS for a certain period of time: 3 hours - from 40 rubles, a day - from 60 rubles.

The list of Internet resources that SMS-reg.com works with is not longer than that of Online Sim, but here it is possible to use phones from several countries. Available: Russia, Ukraine, Poland and Bulgaria.

Main advantages paid services receiving SMS - saving time. For a not too ruinous amount (2-15 rubles), you will be given a phone number from your own country (many domestic resources simply do not accept American and European numbers), which is guaranteed not to be used by anyone. And the content of the SMS that you receive will not be read by anyone except you.

OnlineSim and SMS-reg are by no means the only sites that provide the service of receiving SMS. There are also those that do not require anything from the user at all. Even registration, not to mention payment. Of course, you won’t be able to register with their help on VKontakte, but for some “omnivorous” Internet sites, they are quite suitable.

Free services with foreign numbers

- one of the easiest to use SMS receiving services. Works for free and without creating an account. It is enough for the user to take one of the free numbers for 5 minutes and indicate it when registering on the desired site. The current available number is displayed in the second field from the top. A response message (SMS confirmation) will appear right here on the Sellaite page.

The advantages of the service are simplicity and accessibility. Disadvantages - all provided phones are reused, so the majority of Internet sites do not accept them. There are no Russian numbers. Ukrainian and Belarusian - too. In addition, the text of the message addressed to you will be visible to everyone who is currently on the site.

Receive SMS Online

The Receive-sms-online.com service works in a similar way - just go in and take any of the eight free phones. Unlike Sellaite, Russian and Ukrainian numbers are often available here.

Next to each phone is the number of times it has been used in the last 24 hours. The smaller the number, the more likely it is that the number will be accepted by the site on which you are registering.

Response SMS with confirmation codes come here. To read, just click on the number.

Twilio.com

Twilio.com is a much more civilized service compared to the previous two, one of the most popular web resources of its kind in the English-speaking space. Its assets include an extensive base of telephones from various countries of the world. However, there are very few Russians, Ukrainians and Belarusians among them.

Twilio services are free to use, but you need to create an account. When registering, it is important to indicate the real address Email and your mobile phone number, otherwise you will not receive confirmation and will not be able to enter your personal account.

To get your first free Twilio number, click "Get Started".

The next window will display the virtual phone provided to you. Despite the fact that the service tries to select the numbers of their countries for users, not everyone gets Russian phones. For example, we got the American one.

If you want to change the number, click "Choose this Number".

Click "Done" to close the window.

If new version you are also not satisfied by clicking "Buy a phone number", you can buy another one. In this case, you will be given a choice of phones from 20-30 countries. You may be lucky: Russia will be among them.

To manage Twilio numbers, click the "Manage phone numbers" button.

The information you are interested in is in the "Message Log" section.

Proovl.com (formerly Smscan.com)

- the last in today's selection of a really working virtual telephony service. Provides real mobile numbers for short-term use. The cost of services is from €0 (for one SMS) to €5 (for daily use).

Trial SMS reception on Proovl does not require registration (the received message is displayed on the site). If this is not enough, after creating an account and replenishing the account, the user is given a choice of a dozen phones in Europe and the United States.

The site has 2 tariff plans: standard and premium. One-time reception of messages on both tariffs does not cost anything. Connecting a permanent virtual number - €5-10. Subscription fee per day - €5. On the standard tariff, you can connect no more than 2 numbers at the same time, on the premium tariff - without restrictions.

Virtual Phones Proovl can be used for registrations on any Internet sites (except those that send data only to Russian numbers) and, unlike a number of similar ones, they accept long messages. Information is stored in personal account user up to 150 days.

Recently, more and more sites - social networks, online stores, various services, began to use registration confirmation (and sometimes even authorization) by sending SMS messages to a mobile phone number. Such a link can be extremely useful if you want to protect important data on your account, but it also has its drawbacks. No one guarantees that the specified information will not fall into the hands of spammers, who then will not give life to the owner of the smartphone, bombarding it with advertising links and “hot offers” on an ongoing basis.

Fortunately, thanks to our service that provides free numbers for receiving SMS, anyone can register on the resource of interest to him without having to indicate his real phone number, thereby completely insuring himself from annoying advertisers.

And the benefits don't end there. Receiving SMS online also allows you to:

• Carry out multiple registrations on sites. Often, creating an account not only requires specifying a mobile phone number, but also restricts users on the principle of “one account - one number”. And with virtual numbers, you can create at least a hundred different pages in the same VKontakte or Odnoklassniki. This can be useful, for example, for webmasters and SMM specialists who use social media accounts as a tool to promote their projects and make money on them.
• Maintain anonymity. It's no secret that knowing the number allows you to learn a lot about its owner, up to the full dossier and the actual address of residence. And not everyone can come to terms with this. Fortunately, receiving free SMS to virtual numbers eliminates the need to show your real phone on the Internet.
• Protect yourself from intruders. Security for the Internet user, especially those exercising in the network financial operations and storing important data on the computer, this is not an empty phrase. If the resource on which you need to register does not inspire confidence, entering personal information, whether it be your real name, account numbers or mobile phone number, will be an extremely reckless decision. But by creating a “fake”, you do not risk anything - online numbers for receiving SMS are in no way tied to your personality or to the IP address from which you access the site of our service.
• Participate in promotions and giveaways. Many sites on the network hold promotions and giveaways of various values ​​​​(for example, digital keys to programs), and so that people do not abuse the opportunity provided, grabbing a lot of identical gifts at once in one hand, they introduce a link to mobile number. Virtual phones to receive SMS for free make it easy to bypass this restriction and collect literally hundreds of bonuses - at least for personal use, even for resale.
• Bypass regional restrictions. There are situations when a particular project on the network does not allow residents of certain countries to register. This can happen due to some bureaucratic delays, for example, if one of the partners of the resource bought out exclusive rights to work with users from your region. But usually the reason is much more banal - SMS messages from domestic operators simply do not reach a foreign addressee. Our service also solves this problem by providing numbers for receiving SMS from different countries.

User guide

The principle of the service is extremely simple. Users do not need to register and fill out any forms with personal data - just look at the list of currently available numbers, choosing the best option for themselves (someone will need a Russian number, someone will need a French one, etc.). All! It remains only to copy the sequence of numbers and enter it on the resource that requires you to confirm SMS. If the SMS reception was successful, soon a fresh message with important information for you will appear on the number page.

Didn't work the first time? It's OK. Many sites and services have problems with the delivery of SMS to the numbers of specific operators. Therefore, it makes sense to try with other phones. In addition, sometimes messages arrive with a delay due to the fault of the sender or the network - in this case, it is worth waiting for about 2-3 minutes.

Features of the project work suggest that virtual numbers for receiving SMS free of charge change periodically. Users must take this fact into account when using our resource for registrations. If you plan to resend an SMS from the service where the account is registered to the linked phone, say, in a month or two, it is far from a fact that it will still remain active. Accordingly, it will not be possible to read all the texts sent to the specified address, as well as restore access in case of loss of the login / password or inability to log into the e-mail account.

How our service works

A virtual phone number for receiving SMS for free, which every visitor of this site can receive, is provided due to the presence at our disposal of a large number of real SIM cards of operating operators cellular communication. The term “virtual” appears in the name only because the numbers are available to users exclusively online - by going to the page with a list of messages. Accordingly, the delivery time of SMS depends on the provider's capabilities. mobile services and its current workload (usually no more than five seconds pass from the moment of sending to the moment of receiving).

As for the segmented messages that some senders can send, they will only be delivered to the virtual phone number for receiving SMS when the last part is sent. This is quite convenient, because a large number of people use free phones of our service - this way you will not get confused in messages.

Terms of Use

The staff of our project is not responsible for the possible abuse of the advantages of the numbers provided and the loss of access to the accounts to which you registered them. Virtual phones for receiving SMS are not intended for carrying out illegal activities with their help (fraudulent operations, distribution of drugs, etc.) - if law enforcement request information regarding such cases, it will be passed on to them.

It is also recommended to follow certain safety rules during use. You must understand that online numbers for receiving SMS are available for free to all visitors without registration. Each user will be able to open the service page and see the entire list of messages - not only him, but also those sent by other users. If such an SMS message contains all the data necessary to enter your account, as well as the name of the service that sent this text, nothing will prevent an attacker from logging in using your username and password. On your behalf, they can write, ask for money, etc. Therefore, it is highly undesirable to use virtual reception SMS for registration of personal (personal) accounts.

The only one available on this moment form of interaction with the service - through the browser. Users manually select the desired number and receive messages on it. We prevent the use of automatic software that allows you to collect numbers and use them for mass sending SMS. Free SMS reception should be available to everyone, and people using automation can interfere normal operation resource. Any attempt to do something like this will result in an immediate ban.

Prohibitions and restrictions

In order to exclude the possible use of the service for fraudulent purposes and for other illegal activities, virtual numbers for receiving SMS are equipped with a filter. Messages from the list of banned addresses (such as banking / credit organizations, electronic payment systems and similar projects, the list of which can be viewed on our website) will not be displayed on the page with incoming SMS.

In other cases, receiving SMS online is carried out free of charge in free mode. There are no restrictions on the regional location on the project - residents of any country where there is Internet access can use it. By the number of hits, frames are also not set. If you need to make dozens or even hundreds of registrations, this is not a problem. Unless sometimes a failure may occur due to the fault of the resource itself, requesting a mobile number - for example, if the phone for receiving SMS has already been used by other users to create an account, and duplicates are not allowed. But this is solved by simply changing the number.

Let's summarize everything that has been said above, highlighting the main theses:

1. Our service provides phone numbers for receiving SMS to any Internet user, and on a completely free basis - there is no one-time or monthly fee, there is no need to enter personal information either.
2. Receiving SMS online is free of charge without registration, which has its positive and negative sides. The advantage is that you save a lot of time, the disadvantage is that all users incoming messages visible at a glance. If the person concerned collects enough data, they can log in to your account.
3. Behind each number is a real SIM-card related to a specific operator of a particular country. In total, there are over a dozen different countries on the list - Russian Federation, USA, France and many others.
4. Free phones for receiving SMS can be used for a wide variety of purposes, with the exception of illegal ones. Also, the reason for blocking users can be the use of the service in combination with automatic programs.

If all of the above suits you, then choose free number phone to receive SMS from the available list and proceed with the implementation of the tasks. Thank you for your attention and don't forget to bookmark our site!
