Finally found something that at least works. Registration is simple, no documents are needed, you can replenish the balance in different ways. Sometimes sms is not coming, but in general everything is ok, the commission is very small, the money is immediately returned to the account for such a thing. I contacted technical support once, they responded quickly.

I tried sms-activate.org hoping to get some phone numbers for my needs, but it turned out to be a total waste of money. I paid for several numbers, but when I tried to use them, they were all already taken and used by someone else for the same service (clearly told by the service). It's like buying a used item without knowing it. When I complained, they told me to contact their support team for a refund. But when I did, they just said if you have recorded the process in the video format, we can only issue you refund in that case. I mean seriously? Anyone planning to buy their service. Please keep your video recorder on. So that can help you to get refund. Lol

Hello. Sometimes virtual numbers already have a registered account. This happens due to the number being reissued by the telecom operator.

I used SMS Activate for my ChatGPT account verification and was impressed. The service was swift and straightforward, with an instant delivery of the verification code. The only minor con was the website layout, which felt a bit outdated, but it didn't hinder the service's effectiveness. Overall, it's a 5/5 for me due to its reliability and easy of use

The platform stands out for its easy navigation and the quick receipt of sms for verifications. It's also quite cost-effective compared to similar services. However, the website's design feels a bit outdated and could use a refresh. This doesn't affect the functionality, but a more modern interface would enhance the user experience imo

This is a very unpleasant situation. We will definitely check which employee provided you with support and why they did not replace the number. Can you write your sms-activate ID or mail?
