SMS Activate UK is an online service for receiving SMS verification codes through virtual phone numbers, without using a physical SIM card. Users select a country and supported service, then view incoming messages in a web dashboard. Listed services include Telegram, WhatsApp, Google, OpenAI, and other apps, with availability and prices shown in the dashboard. The service offers one time activations for single verifications and number rentals for accounts that may require additional codes. One time numbers remain active for 20 minutes. It also provides temporary email inboxes for services that verify by email. Eligible activations that do not receive an SMS are refunded to the user’s wallet, subject to the service’s refund rules. To use the service, users create an account, add funds to their wallet, choose a service and country, and select an available number or rental option. Incoming codes appear in the dashboard when received. The website lists cryptocurrency payment options, including Bitcoin, USDT, and Ethereum, and provides information on pricing, countries, supported services, orders, refunds, and API access. Typical uses include online account verification, app testing, and avoiding use of a personal phone number for a verification.
