United Kingdom +44For codes from WhatsApp, Telegram & co. – they arrive in your Simbye app.
Your own real +44 UK mobile number – dedicated and private, yours alone. For sign-ups and verification codes from WhatsApp, Telegram and many other apps; receiving calls is optional. Read your SMS in the Simbye app under “My SIM” and on your order page.
You get a real UK mobile number with the country code +44 — assigned to you alone. SMS and verification codes appear in real time in the Simbye app and on your order page.
Your number is assigned only to you and is never shared while it is active. It is a real number from its country — not a shared online number — so verification codes from WhatsApp, Telegram and many other apps reach you directly.

The Difference
Other providers sell cheap VoIP numbers that services detect and block. Our numbers come from genuine mobile ranges — compatible with WhatsApp, Telegram, Google and 200+ apps.
SimbyeFree “receive SMS online” websites recycle the same public numbers for thousands of strangers at once. A dedicated UK virtual number from Simbye is registered to you alone — and that difference decides whether your verification succeeds or fails.
Verification codes from WhatsApp, Telegram and over 200 more apps. Compatibility may vary by service.
Popular Use Cases
One number for verifications, sign-ups and your contacts — private and yours alone.
Register WhatsApp or move your account to your +44 number: select United Kingdom (+44) and enter your number without the leading 0, for example 7700 XXXXXX.
Use the same number for Telegram and the other apps and websites that confirm your account by SMS — one number for all your sign-ups.
Sign up on UK websites, marketplaces and apps that ask for a +44 mobile number — and keep your private number to yourself.
Keep your real number private when signing up, buying or selling online.
Give friends, landlords, employers or companies in the UK a local +44 mobile number. They can text you — and with the calls add-on they can call you, too.
Separate work sign-ups, verifications and accounts from your personal number.
Simple Setup
Select your UK mobile number plan on our website or in the Simbye app. Pay securely with card, PayPal, or Apple Pay.
Receive your own dedicated +44 UK number instantly — exclusive to you, no SIM, no setup.
View all incoming SMS in your online dashboard or the Simbye app. Auto-refresh, real-time notifications, 24/7 access.
Setting up WhatsApp with a +44 number is the most popular way our customers use their UK line. SMS verification takes less than two minutes, works on any phone anywhere in the world, and you never need a physical SIM card, a UK address or an ID check. Here is exactly how it works:
Choose the UK mobile number plan above and pay securely with card, PayPal or Apple Pay. Your own dedicated +44 number is assigned instantly and appears right away in your order confirmation and in the Simbye app.
Install or open WhatsApp on any phone — it does not have to be a UK phone. Start a new registration, or go to Settings → Account → Change Number to move an existing account to your new UK number.
Select United Kingdom (+44) from the country list and type your number WITHOUT the leading 0. Example: if your number is 07912 345678, enter 7912 345678. Keeping the leading zero is the single most common mistake.
WhatsApp sends the verification code by SMS within seconds. Open the Simbye app or your order page and the code appears in your private inbox in real time — no SIM card and no second device required.
Type the code into WhatsApp and your account is verified with your own +44 number. The same number keeps working for Telegram, Google and 200+ other services for as long as you keep renewing it. You can renew directly in the app before the 30 days are up.
Do not worry — in almost every case the fix takes under a minute. Work through these four quick checks and your code will come through:
Make sure you entered your number without the leading 0 after the +44 country code. +44 7912 345678 is correct; +44 07912 345678 will never receive a code because it is not a valid UK number.
Pull down to refresh in the Simbye app, or reload your order page in the browser. Incoming SMS are delivered in real time, but the view sometimes needs a quick refresh to show the newest message.
If nothing arrives after 60 seconds, tap “Resend SMS” in the app you are verifying. Some services delay or drop the very first code — the second attempt almost always lands within seconds.
Still stuck? Open our support chat and we will check your number live. Our team typically replies in under 60 seconds and can confirm instantly whether the SMS reached our network.
Every Simbye number works the same way — choose the country your contacts and apps expect.
Everything about your Simbye virtual UK phone number
Still have questions?Message us — we usually reply in under 60 seconds.It's your own dedicated UK mobile number (+44) — no SIM card, no contract. It's exclusively yours: only you receive and read the incoming SMS, in the Simbye app or on your order page.
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. Receive one-time codes and SMS from WhatsApp, Telegram, Google and 200+ services. Because the number is dedicated and yours alone, codes arrive reliably and your messages stay private.
Your UK number always receives SMS. Incoming phone calls are an optional Calls add-on — choose '30 Days + Calls' when you buy, and calls ring directly in the Simbye app. Outgoing calls and sending SMS are not possible.
Your number is valid for the term you choose: 30 days, 6 or 12 months. Renew anytime before it ends — from the Simbye app or your order page — and you keep the exact same number; 30 more days cost 9,95€.
In two places: the Simbye app (Numbers tab — tap your number) and your secure order page on simbye.com. Messages refresh automatically, with verification codes highlighted for one-tap copying.
Yes. Your UK number lives in the cloud, so you can read incoming SMS from anywhere with an internet connection — no roaming, no second SIM.
Yes — renew before it expires and you keep the identical +44 number, so you never have to re-verify your accounts. If you let it lapse, the number returns to our pool.
You choose the term (30 days, 6 or 12 months); 30 days cost 9,95€. No contract and no automatic charges unless you switch on Auto-Renew in the app — it always renews for 30 days. To cancel, simply don't renew.
Both. The number is a genuine UK mobile number (+44) from a real carrier number range — that is why WhatsApp and Telegram accept it. Virtual refers to how it is delivered: it runs in the cloud instead of on a SIM card, and incoming SMS appear in the Simbye app or on your order page. A real number, delivered digitally.
No. Nothing gets installed — no SIM, no eSIM, no QR code. The number is yours the moment you order and works on any device with an internet connection, anywhere in the world. Your existing SIM stays untouched.
This is a number only — for receiving SMS, verification codes and, with the Calls add-on, incoming calls. There is no data plan. If you also want mobile internet abroad, that is what our eSIM data plans are for. Many customers use both: an eSIM for data and this number for their verification codes.
