Frequently Asked Questions

See the most common questions about our free temporary number service.

How does this work?
Use the number shown on the main page to receive any SMS for any of the services listed. The service with the most recently received SMS will be shown first at the top.
What makes FreeSMSCodes.com different?
Unlike other popular free SMS sites, we offer Non-VoIP numbers for free, when other sites use VOIP numbers. In 2024, most services are smart enough to detect VoIP numbers, so if you want to verify accounts like Google, you need to use a service like FreeSMSCodes or Textverified.
