About TempNumber

TempNumber is a free temporary phone number service. Open the home page, pick a disposable number from the list, and read its SMS inbox right here. Use it to sign up for websites, apps, free trials and downloads — without giving away your real phone number.

Why TempNumber exists

Nearly every website and app today asks for a phone number before it lets you in. Give them your real number and you get spam calls and texts forever. If that service is ever hacked, your real number ends up on spam lists. A temporary number fixes this: it receives the verification code you need, and then you move on. If it is ever compromised, you lose nothing — just pick a new one.

How it works

TempNumber lists free public phone numbers and shows their inboxes. The numbers come from free public SMS-inbox services. Pick a number, enter it in the sign-up form, and the verification code appears in the inbox here within seconds. TempNumber does not keep accounts or passwords — there is nothing to sign up for, and nothing is stored about you. New here? Follow the step-by-step guide or read the FAQ first.

What TempNumber is not for

TempNumber only receives SMS — it cannot send messages. The inboxes are public: anyone who opens the same number can read the same messages. Never use a temporary number for banking, payment apps, email or password recovery, or any account you cannot afford to lose. Some platforms, like WhatsApp and Google, block shared numbers — for those, use your own SIM card number.

Free, always

TempNumber is 100% free. There is no registration, no paid plan and no limit on how many numbers you use. The site is supported by advertising.
