One-Time Numbers vs Renting a Number on Sim100

Sim100 offers two main ways to receive SMS online: one-time activation and number rental.

One-time activation

Best for a single OTP during signup. You pay for the service (e.g. WhatsApp) and the number is released after the session ends. Lowest cost per verification.

Rent a number

Ideal when you need the same line for days or weeks—multiple messages, 2FA recovery, or ongoing app notifications. Rental numbers stay active for the period you select.

Choose one-time for quick account creation; choose rent when the platform may send follow-up SMS weeks later. Both options are available after you log in.
