Questions, answered
What is a temporary number for verification?
A phone number you rent for one sign-up. It receives the SMS code an app sends, shows it in your CoveSMS dashboard, and then closes. Your personal number never leaves your pocket.
What happens if the code never arrives?
You don’t pay. If no SMS reaches the number within 20 minutes, it closes by itself and the full price goes back to your balance. You can also cancel after 2 minutes to get your balance back instantly.
Can I use the same number again later?
No. Each number is for one verification. That’s why it’s cheap — and why you shouldn’t use it as the recovery number for an account you plan to keep. Move your 2FA to an authenticator app once you’re in.
Can I get a second code on the same number?
Yes, for free, as long as the number is still open. Tap “Get another code” and ask the app to resend.
How do I pay?
Top up your balance by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay (from $5, through Stripe) or with crypto: USDT, USDC, SOL, TRX, LTC or BTC (from $2). Card top-ups get +5% from $20, +10% from $50, +15% from $100; crypto gets +5% from $5, +10% from $50, +15% from $100. No subscription.
Which countries do you have?
The United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, plus 202 more countries and regions. Stock changes during the day; the dashboard always shows what’s available right now.
Can I receive calls or send messages?
No. Numbers are receive-only and SMS-only. If an app offers to call you, choose the text-message option instead.
What am I not allowed to do?
Use numbers only for your own legitimate accounts. Fraud, impersonating someone, bulk account creation, spam and getting around bank or identity checks are not allowed and close the account.
