Comparison
A TextVerified alternative without a subscription
TextVerified is aimed at users who want US numbers and are comfortable with a plan-based model, and its reputation for US delivery is well earned. The two reasons people look elsewhere are the recurring cost and the country coverage.
Anon SMS has no plan and no monthly minimum. You top up $5, spend it a number at a time across 190-plus countries, and whatever you do not spend stays in your wallet indefinitely.

When US-only is the right answer
Some services treat US numbers noticeably better, and if everything you verify is US-facing, a US-specialist provider is a legitimate choice. We sell US numbers too, and they are among the more expensive rows in the table for exactly that reason.
Where the wider catalogue wins is when your services are not US-centric: a local number in the country you are actually operating from usually outperforms a foreign one, whatever the country.
No plan means no wasted month
Verification demand is lumpy. Most people need three numbers in one week and none for two months. A prepaid wallet fits that shape: money sits there until you use it, and refunds land back in the same place.
Top-ups start at $5 and there is no upgrade path to think about — the price you see per number is the price, whether it is your first or your hundredth.
TextVerified alternative — common questions
Is there a subscription with Anon SMS?
No. You top up a wallet from $5, each number is a one-off charge against the balance, and unused balance never expires.
Do you sell US numbers?
Yes, alongside 190-plus other countries. US ranges are priced higher than most because services trust them more and supply is tighter — the live table shows the current figure.
How long do I have to enter the code?
The number stays yours for about 20 minutes, which is longer than any verification screen keeps its own timer open. If the code has not arrived by the time the number expires, the charge is returned to your wallet automatically.
Do I pay if no code arrives?
No. You are charged when a code is delivered. If the SMS never lands before the number expires, or you cancel the number after the two-minute grace period because the service rejected it, the full amount goes straight back to your wallet balance.
How do I pay for numbers?
You top up a wallet once — card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or crypto, from $5 — and each number is a small one-off charge against that balance. There is no subscription and the balance does not expire.
