One-time password: a short code sent by SMS that works once and expires quickly.

How long is an OTP valid?

It depends on the app, usually between one and ten minutes. Copy it as soon as it appears in your panel.

Can I receive an OTP online without a SIM card?

Yes. The OTP arrives on a real number we provide and you read it in your browser, so you do not need a SIM or an app.

Can I get several OTPs on the same number?

A number is for one verification. If the app needs another code later, get a new number.

Is there a free OTP number?

Public free numbers exist, but anyone can read their messages and most apps reject them. TempSMSCode is paid; if no OTP arrives, you get your credits back.

Do I need an Indian number for an OTP?

Only if the app requires one. Indian numbers are available for many apps; check the price and success rate on the order screen.

Get an OTP number

Receive an OTP in three steps

01
Choose the app that sends the OTP, then a country with a good last-hour success rate.
02
Enter the number you get into the app and request the OTP.
03
The OTP appears in your panel. Copy it into the app before it expires.

What an OTP is

OTP stands for one-time password: a short code, usually four to eight digits, that works once and expires within minutes. Apps send it by SMS to prove that the person signing up or logging in controls the phone number.

Because it is valid only once, an OTP is safer than a fixed password. The downside is that every app that sends one also ends up holding your phone number.

Why use a temporary number for OTP

Your personal number stays out of app databases and marketing lists.
You can register for an app you only want to try, without tying it to your SIM.
You can open a separate account when your own number is already in use.
You can get a number from another country when an app asks for one.

If your OTP does not arrive

Check that you typed the number with the right country code.
Wait a minute or two, then request the OTP again in the app; many apps limit how fast you can resend.
If nothing arrives, cancel the order and your credits come back.
Try a country with a higher success rate. Rates change by the hour and differ per app.

When a temporary number is the wrong choice

Banking, payment and government logins: never use a temporary number for these. They need a number you will always control.
Accounts that send an OTP at every login. The number is released after the order, so you could not receive the next code.
Two-factor authentication on an account you care about: use your own number or an authenticator app.
