TextVerified rents US phone numbers for one-time codes. If you are looking at alternatives, the questions are usually the same: do I need numbers from other countries, do I want an app, and must I open an account before I can buy. Here is what TextVerified states on its own homepage, read on 24 October 2026, next to what SMS For U does.
Before you switch
- Check which country the service you sign up to expects. US only, or elsewhere too?
- Open the new service’s country list for that service and check that the country is there.
- Read the refund sentence word for word.
- Test one number before you switch for good.

Where TextVerified can suit you better
If you only need US numbers, a specialist focused on them can be a good fit. It states more than 1,900 services, against about 1,400 that we show.
It offers voice verification for services that call instead of texting. Our numbers receive text messages only.
Where SMS For U differs
Numbers from many countries, not only the US. Which countries are open for your service is shown live in the app.
The web app sells a single number without an account.
Apps for iPhone and Android, and the same in the browser.
The website speaks eleven languages.
No prices, no success rates
Prices and success rates: both depend on service and country and change by the hour. Ours are shown in the app before you confirm.
Common questions
Do I need a US number?
Only if the service you sign up to wants one. Many services accept numbers from several countries, and some are stricter about certain ranges. The app lists what is open for your service on the day.
What if the service verifies by phone call?
Our numbers receive text messages only. A service that insists on calling you cannot be finished with one.
Does SMS For U guarantee a code?
No. Nobody can promise that a service accepts a given number. If no code arrives, you do not pay.
Why is there no price comparison?
Prices depend on service and country and move. Compare the number you need, in the app, on the day.
