Your Own US Virtual Phone Number

It's a real US mobile number (+1) hosted in the cloud — no SIM card needed. You receive SMS messages directly in the Simbye app and on the website, perfect for verification codes from WhatsApp, Telegram, Google, Apple, Coinbase, and 150+ other services. The number works worldwide.

Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. Receive verification SMS from WhatsApp, Telegram, Google, Apple, Discord, Twitter/X, Instagram, Coinbase, eBay, Airbnb, ChatGPT and 150+ other services that require a US phone number. Most codes arrive within seconds.

No — the virtual number is receive-only for SMS. You cannot make outgoing calls, send SMS, or receive phone calls. It's designed specifically for receiving verification codes and incoming SMS messages.

Your number is valid for 30 days. You can renew it for another 30 days for $14.99 from inside the app (MyEsim → Renew) or here on the website. You'll get email and push reminders 2 days and 1 day before expiry. As long as you keep renewing, you keep the same number.

All incoming SMS appear in two places: 1) The Simbye app under MyEsim → tap your number to open the inbox. 2) On the website at simbye.com/pages/mobile-number after entering your order number and email. You also get a push notification on your phone whenever a new SMS arrives.

Yes. The number is hosted in the cloud, so it works worldwide. You just need an internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) to receive SMS in the Simbye app — there's no roaming and no SIM card to worry about.

Yes. As long as you renew before the expiry date, you keep the exact same US phone number. If you let it expire and re-purchase later, you'll get a new number (the old one is released back to the pool after a few days).

$14.99 for 30 days, no contract. You only pay when you actually want the number — no automatic monthly charges unless you turn on Auto-Renew in the app. You can also enable Auto-Renew so it's paid from your Simbye wallet at the end of each 30-day cycle.
