Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this service really free?

Yes! Our public shared numbers are 100% free to use. We also offer premium, dedicated Private Numbers for users who need exclusive access and total privacy.

Are messages private?

It depends on the type of number you use:

  • Public Numbers: No. All messages received on public numbers are visible to everyone. Never use them for sensitive, financial, or highly personal accounts.
  • Private Numbers: Yes. When you rent a private number using wallet credits, the messages are encrypted and visible only to your logged-in account.

How do I get a Private Number?

Simply create an account, top up your wallet using our secure payment gateways (OxaPay or Polar), and rent a number from your dashboard.

Do you have an API?

Yes. We offer a powerful Developer API for programmatic access to both public and private numbers. You can find your API key and documentation in your account settings.

Why didn't my message arrive?

Some platforms actively block known virtual numbers. If your message doesn't arrive on a public number, try a different number or upgrade to a fresh Private Number.

Can I send SMS from these numbers?

No. ReceiveFreeSMS is strictly a receive-only service.
