How it works

  1. 1Top up your walletPay by bank transfer, card, USDT or USDC (mobile money outside Nigeria). It lands in a minute or two.
  2. 2Pick a service and countrySee the price, buy, then use the number: it waits 5 minutes for the code.
  3. 3Copy the codePaste the number into the app you're signing up for. The code appears on your screen the moment the SMS arrives.

Your own number, your own messages

Public receive-SMS sites show the same numbers to everyone, so anyone can read your code and most apps refuse those numbers. With OTPBox the number is given to you alone while it waits for your code, and the message is shown only in your account.

Made for one-time codes

OTPBox numbers are for receiving verification codes: the short codes apps send by SMS when you sign up or log in. Each number waits up to 5 minutes for the first message. If nothing arrives, the number closes and the price goes back to your wallet.

Choose the app you're getting the code from, so you get a number that app accepts.

Questions

How fast does the SMS arrive?

Usually within seconds of the app sending it. The number waits up to 5 minutes; if no SMS lands by then, you get a full refund.

Can I receive SMS online for free?

Free sites share numbers publicly, so codes are visible to everyone and most apps have blocked them. OTPBox numbers cost a little, are private to you, and are refunded if no code comes.

Can I send SMS from the number?

No. OTPBox numbers receive verification codes only.

Do I need an app?

No. OTPBox works in your browser. Sign in with Google or your email, top up, and buy a number.

Which countries are available?

It depends on the app. Pick the app first and you'll see every country with numbers for it right now, with today's price.
