I'm sharing SMSPing (https://smsping.net), an online SMS receiving and virtual number service I run.

What it does

  • Pick the app or website you need a verification code for.
  • Choose a country and carrier, and see the live price before ordering.
  • Receive the SMS in the browser, or through the Telegram bot @smspingnetbot.
  • If no SMS arrives, the fee goes back to your balance.

Why a Telegram bot

A lot of the time you're already in a chat app when you need a code, so the bot lets you order a number and read the SMS without opening another tab.

Caveat

Whether a given number is accepted depends on each platform's own rules, so it won't work for every service.

Feedback on the flow or the bot is welcome. Updates are on X: @SMSPingnet.
