# GimmeSMS

> Rent a temporary phone number by the hour and read incoming SMS live in your browser. $2.20 per hour, from 1 to 48 hours, paid from prepaid credit.

GimmeSMS gives people a real phone number for a short time so they can keep their personal number private. It works as a temporary SMS number, a disposable or burner number, a virtual phone number or a second phone number, and lets people receive SMS online in a private inbox, unlike free public receive SMS sites. Typical uses are marketplaces and classifieds, deliveries and bookings, one time codes for their own accounts, and testing SMS flows in their own apps.

## Key facts

- Price: $2.20 per number per hour. Rentals last 1 to 48 hours and can be extended up to 48 hours in total.
- Payment: prepaid credit packs of $2.00, $5.00, $10.00, $20.00, $50.00, paid by card through Stripe. Credit is valid for 3 months from purchase.
- Receive only: numbers receive SMS. Sending texts and calls are not supported.
- Inbox: messages appear live in the browser, and verification codes are detected so they can be copied in one tap.
- Shared numbers: after a rental ends and a cooldown passes, a number can be rented by someone else, so rented numbers should not be used for accounts that need recovery.
- Accounts: sign up with email and password or with Google.
- Not allowed: bulk account creation, fraud, spam, harassment or anything illegal. See https://gimmesms.com/terms
- Support: support@gimmesms.com
