How it works
Three steps. The first one only happens once.
Create an account and top up
Email and password, then a crypto deposit from $5. Your balance is credited once the network confirms it.
Rent a number
Pick the service and check the summary: price, hold time and refund rule. Nothing is charged before you confirm.
Receive and copy the code
The SMS appears on the page with the code picked out. No SMS before the hold ends? The full price goes back to your balance.

Questions
The five we are asked most. Everything else is in the FAQ.
Are these real SIM numbers or VoIP?
Real SIM cards. Every US number is a physical SIM on a US mobile carrier; none of them are VoIP or virtual lines, so they receive codes the way any phone does.
The carrier is assigned for you. If a service needs a specific one, you can choose it at checkout for $0.50 more; the total is shown before you confirm.
What happens if the code never arrives?
Each number is held for a time that depends on the site (10–30 min), shown before you pay. If no SMS reaches it in that window, the full price goes back to your balance automatically. There is nothing to claim.
You can also cancel yourself 1 min after renting; the refund is the same.
Can I use the same number again later?
Yes, on real US SIM numbers. After you click Done, the number stays on your dashboard with “Same number again” for as long as it can be rented again; each use is a new paid rental.
On some sites the number even stays open after the first code, and the next codes land on the same card for free. It is not guaranteed: someone else can take the number in between.
How do I top up my balance?
With crypto, from the Balance page: choose an amount, a coin and a network, send the exact amount shown to the address, and the balance is credited once the network confirms it. The minimum deposit is $5.
For large amounts, a bank transfer can be arranged with support.
Where do refunds go?
Refunds are credited to your tix-sms.com balance straight away, and you can use them for your next rental. Every charge and refund is listed on your balance page.
The balance itself never expires and is not paid back out.
