> SMSS.net gives you free temporary phone numbers to receive SMS online. Pick a country, open a number's inbox, and read incoming verification codes in your browser — no sign-up, no app required.

## Summary

SMSS.net is a free, ad-supported service that provides temporary public phone numbers for receiving SMS verification codes online. Users pick a country, open a shared public number's inbox in the browser, and read incoming one-time codes. No account, no app, no cost. The numbers are shared and public, so they are intended only for low-stakes verifications, free trials, and software testing — never for banking, payments, or accounts tied to a real identity.

## Key facts

- Service type: Online SMS receiver / temporary (disposable) phone numbers.
- Price: Free. Revenue comes from advertising, not from users.
- Registration: None required.
- Privacy model: Public shared inboxes — anyone viewing a number's page sees the same messages.
- Capability: Receive-only SMS. It cannot send SMS or receive voice calls.
- Safe uses: one-time sign-ups, free trials, app/QA testing of OTP and 2FA flows, keeping a personal number private on untrusted forms.
- Unsafe uses (do not do): banking, financial services, email/account recovery, government or identity services, any account you need to keep.
- Reliability note: numbers rotate and are reused, so a service may reject a number already used; trying another number or country usually helps.

## Countries currently available

United Kingdom, Denmark, Spain, Ukraine, United States, Croatia, Germany, Canada, India, Austria, Italy, Portugal, Czechia, France, New Zealand, Brazil, Nigeria.

## How it works

1. Open a country page and choose a number marked "Online".
2. Enter that number where an app or website asks for a phone number.
3. Read the verification code as it arrives in the public inbox (auto-refreshing).
