Tiger SMS Review 2026: Prices, Payments and FAQ

Tiger SMS sells temporary virtual numbers for SMS verification. You top up your balance, pick a service (for example WhatsApp or Telegram) and a country, get a number, and enter it in the app. The code shows up in your Tiger SMS account instead of on your phone.

1. Sign up at tiger-sms.com with just an email address.
2. Top up your balance with any of the payment methods.
3. Choose the service and the country.
4. Copy the number into the app and request the code.
5. The SMS appears in your account. No code? Press Cancel.

Prices start at $0.001 per number. The price depends on the service and the country, and the current price is shown next to each country in the catalog.

No. Tiger SMS charges only for SMS you actually receive. If no code arrives, press Cancel and the money is returned to your balance instantly. See how refunds work.

Usually within 1–2 minutes — about the same as on a normal SIM card. If nothing arrives, don't wait: cancel and try another country. Full checklist: why you're not receiving verification codes.

Yes, for certain countries and services: Tiger SMS supports multi-SMS, so one number can receive several codes from the selected service. Where multi-SMS isn't available, a number receives one SMS and you buy a new number for the next code.

Yes. Tiger SMS offers non-VoIP numbers, which strict apps — banks, dating apps, US marketplaces — accept more readily than VoIP lines. See non-VoIP numbers.

No. Tiger SMS sells one-time activation numbers only. If you need a number for repeat logins, look at services with rentals in our phone number rental list — and switch on two-factor authentication right after signing up (how).

PayPal, AliPay, Coinbase, WeChat Pay, UnitPay, USDT, AdvCash, Payeer, bank cards, SBP, other cryptocurrency, CryptoCloud and FreeKassa.

260+ countries and 200+ services, with 800,000+ numbers available every day. If a service isn't listed, try a different country or contact support.

Stock depends on demand and new numbers are added regularly. Try another country now, or check back later.

Tiger SMS recommends it. Many services compare the number's country with your location, so a VPN in the same country as the number can improve your chances.

Yes. Tiger SMS has 800,000+ numbers available every day, an API for automated purchases, and partners that offer special software for automated account registration.

Yes. The API covers buying numbers, checking status, cancelling, prices and stock, plus an incoming-SMS webhook. Bulk purchases also run through the API. See SMS verification API options.

There's no mobile app. Tiger SMS works in the browser and through its Telegram bot, @TigerSmsComBot.

Yes, a page of free public numbers. Codes on them are visible to everyone and popular apps often reject them, so use them for tests only. More: free phone number for verification.

Sign-up needs only an email address, and Tiger SMS says no personal data is required. The company behind it is MISUTECH LIMITED (Hong Kong). After signing up anywhere with a temporary number, turn on two-factor authentication so you don't lose the account.

You earn 5% of every successful activation your referrals make, up to $50 per referral, with no limit on the number of referrals. A visitor is credited to the first referral link they clicked for 90 days; once they register, they stay your referral. Earnings can go to your Tiger SMS balance (from $1, instant) or be withdrawn in USDT (from $20, $1 network fee). Top-ups alone don't earn commission, and cancelled activations are reversed.

Support works 24/7 through the Telegram bot and the contacts page on tiger-sms.com. Check the handle on the official site — scammers create fake "support" accounts.

SMS-Activate shut down on December 29, 2025. HeroSMS copies its interface. Tiger SMS is an independent service with its own catalog, pay-only-for-received-SMS pricing and an API. Compare: Tiger SMS vs HeroSMS, SMS-Activate alternatives.
