Used it once with Claude AI number verification process and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for not requiring an email at registration.
One improvement that would be interesting: instead of requiring a user and password, why not only generating a unique random account number per customer? Like kycnot.me or Mullvad are doing. You can then rate limit the connections. That would be a very welcome change :)
Smspool.net worked perfectly for google account sms verification over Tor. only cost like 30 cents. put money in through monero quickly for less than 1 cent fee. Unfortunately every new google login seems to require a phone number so maybe get a permanent one. Maybe I can verify a temp number as permanent for google and if I set up a 2fa method it wont ask for that number again. Onion site is fast as well

I tried using “smspool.net” to get numbers for Telegram and Google Voice verification, but I can’t recommend it, especially for Google Voice. Out of ~20 attempts to get verification codes for Google Voice, I only received codes 7 times. Most of those were rejected by Google with the error “This phone number can’t be used to sign up for a Google Voice number,” or the number just got linked to my account without being usable as a Google Voice number.
I reached out to Google Support, and they explained that the numbers are likely VOIP or have been used for too many accounts, which Google now blocks.
For context, I followed best practices: used a trusted browser (Brave in Incognito), premium VPNs with US IPs, and 3-month-old Google accounts with no issues. Despite all this, the numbers from smspool consistently failed.
For Telegram, it’s just as bad. Finding a number that isn’t banned or already has 2FA enabled by someone else is nearly impossible. smspool doesn’t filter out these problematic numbers, which just wastes everyone’s time and energy. Don’t burn your time on this like I did. Anyone else get stuck with smspool or know a better way to get this done?
If you contact our support team at help.smspool.net with screenshots of the failed verifications, we’ll refund those numbers. We understand how frustrating it is to pay for numbers that don’t work, and we want to make it right. The whole SMS verification industry has become much more difficult recently as platforms tighten their security, but we’re constantly working on improving our success rates.
Thanks for the detailed feedback about your experience. Let me explain what’s happening with these verification issues.
Google Voice has become incredibly difficult to verify over the past year. They use extensive fingerprinting that goes way beyond just checking IP addresses and browser details. When you see that “This phone number can’t be used” error, it could be the numbers themselves, but often Google throws this error when they detect something suspicious about the session, even if the number is perfectly fine. It’s their way of blocking attempts without giving away what triggered their systems.
The VPN usage is actually hurting your chances here. Google Voice specifically looks for US residential IPs and flags datacenter IPs from VPN providers. Even premium VPNs get detected. You’d have better luck using residential proxies or no proxy at all if you’re already in the US. Also, make sure you’re using completely fresh browser sessions - new browser profiles, not just incognito mode, as Google tracks browser fingerprints across sessions.
Regarding the numbers themselves, we don’t resell numbers on our platform. Once a number is used, it’s removed on our end. However, carriers can recycle their numbers eventually, and we have no way to check if a number was previously used on Google or Telegram before we acquired it from the carrier. This is an industry-wide limitation that affects all SMS verification services.
For Telegram, the main issue is usually device fingerprinting rather than the numbers themselves. If you’re using desktop or emulators, that’s likely why you’re seeing “number already used” errors - Telegram blocks these setups. You need a real mobile device with stock firmware, downloaded from the official app store. Even rooted phones or custom ROMs like GrapheneOS get flagged during verification. We’ve put together a detailed guide at https://www.smspool.net/article/how-to-create-a-telegram-account that covers all the common issues and workarounds.
paid with zcash and got a discord verification
A+
Thanks for the Lidl verification! 🙏
I think it’s great that they provide an onion site. I wonder if there is any chance of getting I2P supported?
Used it for Signal and Telegram and it worked fine.
Support recommended I use US, UK or Poland for Telegram.
After around 100 numbers I have to call it quits. Couldn’t register to Telegram. All numbers from are either already registered with 2-fa or banned from telegram. Not worth your money and pain. I would give this zero star if it were possible.
Hello,
Did you contact us prior to submitting this review? If you attempted 100 different numbers on Telegram none of these were success, then we’re certain the issue may be on your end. We have observed that our other users are currently receiving messages for Telegram, and we receive thousands of orders daily through this platform. Telegram verification has become increasingly difficult as they’re trying to prevent abuse.
For further guidance, please refer to our article: https://www.smspool.net/article/how-to-create-a-telegram-account-6cb1be41e2
Where’s the point contacting you? To refund $2-4? Nobody gfa. Just deliver. This was supposed to be anonymous service and I can confirm your numbers are all crap. None of US numbers and most of the European numbers doesn’t work for Telegram and if there is 2-FA you charge the message but service stays undelivered. Fix it.
Hi,
The main issue is usually device fingerprinting rather than the numbers themselves. If you’re using desktop or emulators, that’s likely why it’s not working. Telegram blocks these setups. You need a real mobile device with stock firmware, downloaded from the official app store. Even rooted phones or custom ROMs like GrapheneOS get flagged during verification. We’ve put together a detailed guide at https://www.smspool.net/article/how-to-create-a-telegram-account that covers all the common issues and workarounds. We would recommend our US, UK, Poland or Romania numbers.
If you’re still facing issues, please contact us at help.smspool.net for assistance or a refund.
A physical mobile device is necessary for registration on Telegram. GrapheneOS or any custom ROMs will not be compatible with Telegram and may display false messages, as outlined in the guide, indicating that the number is banned or sent a code to another device.
It’s also recommended to download Telegram via the Google Play Store or the App Store if you’re on iOS, as Telegram may flag you if you don’t.
It’s not possible for 100 consecutive numbers to already be used, as we don’t recycle numbers.
UI is nice, pricing is alright, numbers are reused of course. solid service
Thank you for your review however we do not reuse numbers.
“Do you sell numbers twice for the same service?”
No, we never sell the number twice for the same service. Nor do we rotate them after a time; we update our phone numbers daily and there’s a chance that the carrier recycled the phone number after 6 months; which we have no control over. In this case you’re always free to open a ticket to refund the phone number”
Hey, I’m sorry if I was wrong about it, I tested a few numbers for Telegram sign up, it didn’t send code via SMS but via app, so I assumed someone already used it to sign up. It worked after 4-5 numbers though when I tried US virtual num. Might be a country thing? idk anyway I like your service and thank you for supporting Monero payments
Hi there,
Thank you so much for your message and for sharing your experience. Sometimes, reused numbers can happen because mobile carriers recycle numbers after about six months, but our system is set up so that we can’t reuse numbers for the same service. For example, if someone has purchased a number for Telegram, that number won’t be available for Telegram again—though someone could use that same number for a different service like Signal.
It’s interesting that things started working after you switched to US Virtual numbers. Those are semi-VoIP, while our standard US numbers are non-VoIP, which usually work better for most services (including Telegram), so it’s a bit strange that the semi-VoIP numbers worked right away. Telegram has tightened up their registration process lately, so sometimes issues can pop up for all sorts of reasons, including device or IP fingerprinting.
If anyone reading this ever gets the “code has been sent to another device” message, it usually means Telegram has flagged your setup. In that case, try registering on a physical mobile device with official firmware, and make sure to use one of our non-VoIP numbers. Also, it’s best to download Telegram directly from the official app store—Google Play Store for Android or the App Store for iPhone—instead of installing Telegram via a .apk or .ipa file, as that can sometimes make a difference.
We really appreciate your support and are glad you like the Monero payment option! If you have any other questions or run into issues, feel free to reach out.

I used SMSPool for an SMS verification for a Google account and it worked fine. But my account was blocked not even a day after I opened it :(
I wanted to reactivate my Google account with a new number and topped up my credits. I went to numbers for Google/GMAIL when ordering and tried countless numbers there, from cheap to expensive. Unfortunately, Google almost always says that the number has been used too often for verification. I can’t get any further. In retrospect, this leaves a bad impression.
Hello,
This is a fingerprint issue, we have dealt with this exact issue before.
Please try using a fresh browser session and an IP address that matches the phone numbers country.

I would like to give an update on my case. I opened a ticket and asked for help. My ticket was simply closed by support without comment.
I’ve only used SMSPool once, so I can’t comment on it much. In order to use it, you have to create an account, for which you only need to provide a username and password. It’s fairly user-friendly and the SMS arrived quickly.
For additional protection, there is two-factor authentication (2FA), and various cryptocurrencies are accepted as payment.
SMSPool now accepts Cash payments 💵
You can now purchase SMSPool gift cards using cash through ProxyStore.
