US virtual phone number for SMS
Get a United States number (+1) that's yours alone and read every text it receives in your browser: verification codes for your accounts and messages from customers. No SIM card, no US address.
Get StartedDelivered and managed by Inbox Number: one account, one bill, one support team.
How it works
Create an account, choose the United States, pay from your balance or with crypto, and your number appears in your dashboard. Texts arrive in your inbox, ready to copy.
A private number, not a public inbox
Free receive-SMS websites post every message on a public page, so anyone can read the codes sent to those numbers. With Inbox Number the number is rented to you alone and only you can read its messages.
What to expect
These are virtual numbers that work over the internet. Many services accept them, but some apps, banks and payment services refuse virtual numbers, so check a service's rules before you rely on one. Use a number only for accounts you own.
What people use a US number for
- Verifying US business and marketplace accounts you own

Do I need to live in the US?
