# SmsActivate > SmsActivate is a virtual phone number service for receiving SMS verification codes. It sells one-time codes, longer rentals on real mobile networks in 145 countries, and dedicated 4G/5G mobile proxies on named carriers, starting at $0.07 per code. Sign-up is an email address and a password — no identity check, no phone number of your own. Payment is cryptocurrency only, and a one-time code is charged only when the SMS actually arrives. Catalogue read from the upstream networks at 2026-09-01T15:01:11+00:00. 1,304 services in stock, 145 countries, 45 mobile networks, 56,703 service/country/network combinations with free lines right now. Rentals cover 116 countries from $4.29 for 7 days. Mobile proxies run on 15 named carriers across 4 countries, from $4.59 for 24 hours. Each number on this site — the ones above included — is pulled from that catalogue as the page is served; none of it is typed in by hand. Balance and deposits: SmsActivate runs on a prepaid balance, topped up in cryptocurrency from $20 per deposit. A larger single top-up carries extra credit: +20% from $50, +30% from $100, +40% from $200, +50% from $500 and up, which is the ceiling. An amount between two steps earns the rate between them, so a $350 top-up earns +45%, or $157.50. The price of a code itself is identical at any volume: there are no account tiers, and the deposit is the only place volume is rewarded.
