Top 12 Sites to Receive SMS Online Without Any Real Phone Number

Last Updated on April 1, 2020 by Amar Ilindra 28 Comments

Nowadays if you are creating an email account or new account on any trusted site you may need to enter your primary email address and your phone number. So that the company will verify your account by sending a PIN to your registered phone number. For email address, there are several sites which help you to get a temporary free email address and it reduces the pain of receiving spam or junk in your inbox. We’ll provide you with a list of websites where you can receive SMS online without having a real phone.

You can’t use the same mobile number for several accounts as the company may not allow it. Sometimes you can’t create a new account on sites just because you don’t have an alternate number. We too encountered the same as I have used my mobile number to create email accounts on some reputed email service and I don’t have any new numbers. So I tried searching for sites to receive SMS online.

Not only me there are several people who are searching for a list of sites to receive SMS online without a real phone number. 

Receive SMS online without a phone

We have carried out a little bit of research and came to list down a few sites which will help you to receive SMS online without any issues. I have used them personally to ensure that the sites are working correctly. Some of the sites offer trail as well as paid subscriptions. You can stick with the trial accounts as this will help you get your work done. So let’s dive into our article on “Top 12 Sites to Receive SMS Online without a Phone“.

Top 12 Sites to Receive SMS Online without a Phone

Here are 12 websites that allow you to receive SMS online without having a real mobile number.

1. FreePhoneNum.com

Temporary and Disposable Free Phone Numbers

FreePhoneNum provides users with fresh new phone numbers from 6 different countries for free. Currently, this website supports phone numbers from countries like United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Poland, United Kingdom, and Belgium. The best thing about FreePhoneNum is, they change the numbers every 2 weeks. So most of their numbers remain fresh.

2. MobileSMS.io

MobileSMS.io provides private sim-card numbers only. These are premium numbers because they are not virtual numbers. They only offer a paid version. If you are tired of trying out the other free SMS sites, MobileSMS.io is THE site to go for private numbers. In addition to the USA and the UK, they have harder to find countries such as India, China, Australia, and Germany. They have an abundance of numbers and have support for many countries and services.

Disposable numbers from Mobilesms.io

Unlike other tools in our list, MobileSMS.io is a premium tool to get a private disposable number. The good thing about this paid tool is, that you can be sure the number is not shared with others and since it’s a real mobile phone number (not a virtual number), it will work on any website. There are also more chances the disposable number is not already used or banned on popular sites and apps.

Regarding pricing, it costs you on average $3 (varies for each country) for each successful SMS verification and you need to top-up a minimum of $5 to start. You get what you pay for.

3. Receive-SMS.com

Receive messages for free online without registration

Receive SMS is one of the most interesting websites on the internet to receive SMS online. The site offers a list of public numbers that you can use anywhere and the message received on the virtual number will be displayed on their homepage instantly. The site consists of 7 demo numbers and you can buy private numbers from the site. If you buy private numbers on their site you will also get a private inbox for all your messages which are not public.

4. Receivesmsonline.net

Receive text SMS online for Canada, USA UK

In our list of sites to receive SMS online, the next site is Receivesmsonline.net. The site offers a total of 5 numbers which you can use and you will get messages. We found that while using the site you get a lot of 403 errors and all you need is to refresh the page. In our test, all the numbers are working without any issues. Due to a lot of 403 errors, this site may irritate you if you are in a hurry.

5. Receivefreesms.com

Receive text messages online Free text USA UK Germany France Italy

Receive free SMS is another cool site that will serve your purpose of receiving messages online for free and all your messages received on the numbers listed on the site are public. The site offers a number of public numbers from various countries like USA, UK, India, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, etc. We tried almost all the numbers and they are working without any problems.

6. Freeonlinephone.org

Free Online Phone to receive SMS

If you have visited the third site on our list you will notice that the design of both the sites is almost the same and the only difference is the color. Both sites belong to the same company. Previously when we tried the site the numbers are not working correctly. Recently the old numbers are replaced with a set of new ones which are working.

7. Receive-Sms-Online.com

Receive SMS Online for FREE with NO Registration

This site offers a bunch of phone numbers so you can use them anywhere to create temporary email accounts. The site has about 8 numbers and most of them are working correctly. We tested out the UK numbers and all of them are working flawlessly. You need to click on the number you used which will take to a page where you can see the list of received messages.

8. TextNow.com

Text Now

If you don’t want public numbers or your messages displayed publicly then text now is another cool site that offers you a private number and inbox upon creating an account. You can use a VPN which is US-based or a proxy which will serve the purpose of creating a free account that offers a private number. You can see the number which was given to you after logging to your account.

9. Textfree

Text For Free Online SMS
If you are facing troubles creating an account in TextNow then probably Textfree is your alternative. You can create an account here easily with a valid US Zip Code which you can get by a simple Google search. You can choose your number from a list of US numbers which will be presented after creating an account.

10. Twilio

Twilio to send and receive messages online for free

Twilio offers you a free private number to receive messages if you provide them with your number to receive a confirmation code and the good part is that you can use any of the above sites to receive SMS online which will help you to create a trial account. You can check the messages received on your number from the dashboard of your account. By using the Trail account you can’t send messages but you can receive messages from any number.

11. Sellaite SMS Receiver

Sellaite to receive SMS Online

In contrast with other sites, Sellaite offers numbers from Estonia which is quite reliable. We tested the numbers listed on the site and everything is working fine with messages and numbers publicly visible.

12. SMS-Online

Receive SMS online for Free without a Phone or Registration

SMS-online.co had a modern design with a responsive layout and a clean user interface. They provide 12 different numbers ranging from the US to the UK, but also some more exotic numbers from e.g. Indonesia or Sweden. SMS-online.com will renew the phone numbers 3-5 times a month. SMS-online.co is currently available in English, German and French.
