Safe and Responsible Use of Temporary Phone Numbers

Temporary phone numbers can be useful for a short verification task, but they must be used responsibly. The destination service's rules and applicable laws always apply.

Use them only for legitimate verification

Do not use SMSCode for fraud, impersonation, spam, harassment, bypassing security measures, evading bans or age restrictions, financial crime, or any activity that violates telecommunications rules.

Protect your verification details

Never share a verification code with another person. Do not include passwords, payment-card information, or sensitive account details in a support request.

Choose a permanent number when access matters

Temporary numbers cannot guarantee long-term access. Use a number you control permanently for recovery, financial activity, or accounts you expect to keep.

Understand provider limitations

Availability, message delivery, and destination-service acceptance can change. SMSCode shows current information as accurately as reasonably possible, but no temporary-number service can guarantee successful delivery for every service.
