Our Mission
InstantNum was created to solve a common problem: protecting your personal phone number while still being able to verify accounts and receive SMS messages. We believe that privacy is a fundamental right, and everyone should have access to tools that help protect their personal information online. Our platform provides free, temporary phone numbers that allow you to receive SMS verification codes without compromising your privacy.
What We Offer
Public Numbers
Access to temporary phone numbers from over 8 countries worldwide. Perfect for quick verifications, testing applications, and one-time account setups. All messages are visible publicly for transparency.
Instant SMS Reception
Messages arrive in real-time without any delays. No registration or sign-up required. Simply select a number, use it for verification, and check the inbox instantly. It's that simple.
