How InboxNumber works

Getting a number for your business takes a few simple steps, all in your browser.

Step by step

1. Create an account

Sign up with your email address (you confirm it by email) or continue with Google.

2. Pick your country and number

Pick the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom or Australia. The Buy page shows the monthly price in USD and tells you if a country is sold out.

3. Pay from your balance

Pay from your InboxNumber balance, or pay with cryptocurrency by scanning a QR code or on a hosted payment page.

4. Your number appears

After the payment is confirmed, your number shows up in your dashboard with its expiry date.

5. Receive codes and messages

Verification codes and customer texts sent to your number appear in your inbox.

6. Renew or let it expire

Each purchase covers one month. To keep a number, start a new checkout before it expires. When a number expires, its messages are deleted.

About crypto payments

Crypto payments need network confirmations, which usually take a few minutes. If you send less than the full amount, what arrives is added to your InboxNumber balance.
