+5 Privacy0 Trust - Uses hodl invoices 0 +5
A hodl invoice on the Lightning Network temporarily holds your payment, similar to escrow. The receiver doesn’t get the funds immediately; instead, the payment is locked until specific conditions are met. Once those conditions are fulfilled, the receiver releases the funds by supplying a cryptographic key. This method is useful for secure transactions or deposits.

Terms of Service Review
sms4sats provides disposable phone numbers for sending and receiving SMS messages. The service operates without user accounts and accepts payments exclusively via the Bitcoin Lightning Network.
No number recall
Numbers cannot be recalled or reused once a verification is complete. Users risk losing access to third-party services if they do not set up alternative 2FA methods.
Accountless operation
The service does not require user accounts or maintain user balances, relying entirely on direct Lightning Network payments.
Hold invoices
Payments are processed using Lightning 'hold invoices'. Funds are only settled if an SMS code is successfully received; otherwise, the payment is automatically canceled within 20 minutes.

Tried to register amazon account. They provided a phone number which was already registered
Hi, rejections are expected with pooled numbers since they are used by many users. I assume you got a refund.
Good service registered an telegram account. works flawless on the first attempt, fortunately its not so hard anymore to get an telegram account anonymously.
Great service. Sometimes it takes a bit until you get a working number but if you try often enough it works
I tried this service twice and both transactions have been stuck on sent/pending for over two weeks. Tried to reach out to support for a refund but never got a reply.
