Temp Number | Receive SMS

Receive messages sent to publicly shared temporary numbers and copy detected codes.

Our take

Useful only for permitted non-sensitive testing where a public inbox is acceptable

Country selection, favorites and auto-refresh simplify checking a shared inbox.

Keep in mind: Numbers/messages are public and reused; they are unsuitable for banking, email recovery or personal accounts, and acceptance/delivery is not guaranteed. Receive-only, no calls/sending.

What you can do

  • Country/number selection
  • Public inbox refresh and code detection
  • One-tap code copy and favorites

Good for

  • Authorized testing without confidential account data

Consider alternatives for

  • Private verification or long-term account ownership

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 16.4.
  • Numbers/messages are public and reused; they are unsuitable for banking, email recovery or personal accounts, and acceptance/delivery is not guaranteed. Receive-only, no calls/sending.

Privacy & permissions

Anyone using the service can see messages; never send identity or recovery secrets to these numbers and respect the destination service's rules.
