Hello. Thank you for your request for a German SIM number. We understand that you are very eager to get one. We offer two ways to obtain a German number:

1. Free: You can try to obtain a free German number here: https://onlinesim.io/#free

Advantages: You can use the number for free without registering on onlinesim.io.

Disadvantages:
-A German number may not be available.
-The number may already be in use on the resource you need.
-High client demand may temporarily block SMS delivery from the sender. You might encounter an error indicating the number is used many times or blocked due to continuous requests within a short period.
-Numbers are added randomly once a week; a German number may be added, but there’s no guarantee.

2. Paid: For a guaranteed German number, you can purchase one through our website.

Advantages:
-The number is used exclusively by you.
-You won’t encounter the issues associated with free numbers. -Numbers are consistently added within 4-7 days.

Disadvantages: Registration and account funding are required.

While we appreciate your enthusiasm, we don’t provide individual German phone numbers through our review response channels. To get your German number, we recommend you use one of these two methods. If you have any questions or need further assistance with either method, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team. You can reach us through:

1) Our website chat (icon in the bottom right corner).
Telegram at https://t.me/zabotaonlinesim
2) We hope you find the perfect German number and that you find our service useful for your needs.

Best regards, The Onlinesim Team

Hello. We are truly sorry to hear that you experienced issues with our service and believe it to be a scam. We understand your frustration regarding the non-working numbers and the disappearance of your credit, and we want to assure you that we take these matters very seriously.

We are not a scam. Our service is designed to provide functional numbers, and we always strive to ensure that our clients are able to receive SMS to their purchased numbers. Importantly, our system only charges you when an SMS is successfully received on the rented number. If a number is used and no SMS is received, no funds are deducted.

In cases where a number is used and an SMS is successfully received, we do guarantee a refund for that number. If the purchased number ends up being used and you did not receive any SMS, you may simply cancel that number and try another.

To help us investigate your particular situation further and provide a resolution, we kindly ask that you reach out to our support team, so that we can try to understand what exactly happened. Please provide us with your account ID (if possible) and the specific numbers you used.

You can contact us in the following ways:

Through our website chat (icon is located in the bottom right corner), and please request to be transferred to a technical specialist.

We value your feedback and will use the information you provide to improve our service and prevent similar issues in the future. We hope to be able to change your opinion of our service once we address your concerns.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any confusion regarding our SMS pricing. Our homepage lists the price as $0.80 per SMS when purchasing a 100 SMS package. For example, if you purchase a 3 SMS package, the price per SMS is $1, but purchasing a 100 SMS package reduces the price per SMS to $0.80, which provides significant savings in the long run.

If you have any additional questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact our support team!

Thank you for your understanding.

I topped up 13 US Dollars to receive some sms on a philippinese phone number. as soon as i topped up that amount of money i got redirected to a site "secpayment.idealniche.net" which confirmed that my payment has been succcessful. at the onlinesim.io homepage it tells me that my payment is processing. after waiting another 10 minutes i decided to contact the support via chat. they promptly replied that i must wait atleast 30 minutes for the payment to complete if not completed after 30 minutes i should contact him again and send him the payment screenshot. 30 minutes passed and i send him a message that its still not working and the screenshot attached. the support told me that my problem has been forwarded to the technical specialists, which are working only during business days from 10am-21pm moscow time.
the time i topped up the amount of money was at 23pm so i needed to wait about 12 hours..
i told him that i need the service urgent and that i want to cancel the payment.
since then 3 hours passed and no response. i think it looks like a scam!

Good for some accounts. But not all and not Google.

In the beginning I was very disappointment as google does not work. But I have tried other services and they are working fine. Yahoo is working like 75%. The good thing is, if you don't receive msms you are not charged.

Good day! Thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear about your experience with our service. We take these issues seriously and are committed to ensuring that our numbers are working for our users.

As for your verification issue, we understand how frustrating it can be. The error message you received may be due to certain restrictions from Google, as the error "this number cannot be used for verification" means a problem with the browser cache and static IP address.

Please provide your account ID, it would help us to look deeper into this issue. In addition, we recommend that you contact our support chat with a request to transfer you to a technical specialist for further advice and resolution of the issue.

Please do not use this website.

Please do not use this website.
They will steal your money ,the phone numbers they provide do not work.
When I engaged in conversation with customer services the contact was absent and not responding to my questions.
He told me they would not use the credit if the phone number did not work.
I was given 4 numbers that did not work and my credit was depleting each time.
The credit is useless anyway as none of the numbers work.
As of now the customer service agent has not replied to me for about 30 mins ,when we are actually in a conversation he is busy lying to other customers.
I don't like being lied to or stolen from.

It's a scam site

It's a scam site. I have had to raise a chargeback with my credit card company (thankfully I didn't use a debit card with them!) The website falsely says they have sms numbers you can rent for 15 minutes to get verification sms' sent to. I loaded my balance they suddenly all were out of stock apart from two other more expensive in stock countries - Kazakhstan and Russia. Gee just what I always wanted a Russan phone number. Anyway even after (supposedly) purchasing the numbers they were deemed unsuitable for verification because they were ID'd as virtual numbers. Yet this website advertises it's numbers as being suitable for verification. Thankfully my card company is getting me a refund. Don't waste you time/money.
