Introduction
SMS verification has become an integral part of various online services, from social networks to financial institutions in today's digital world. However, obtaining phone numbers for verification can sometimes be a challenge, especially during periods of peak demand. To solve this problem, SMS-Activate has introduced an innovative feature called «Free Price.» In this article we'll take a closer look at this new feature and explain how it can help SMS-Activate users reach their goals more efficiently.
Supply and demand balance
Free Price ensures a balance between supply and demand, creating a win-win situation for both users and suppliers. When there is a surplus of numbers, buyers can take advantage of the surplus and purchase numbers at low prices. It makes them economically effective and affordable. As for periods of high demand, suppliers can meet increased needs by offering numbers at a higher price, ensuring availability and allowing users to reach their goals without delay.
Solution for numbers deficiency
In situations when a particular service is in high demand which leads to a shortage of available phone numbers, SMS-Activate integrates the «Free Price» feature with alternative offers. This option ensures that users can get the numbers they need, even though prices can be higher. Using Free Price, you can quickly get exactly the number you need, even during periods of peak demand.
Free Price with up to 40% discount
Free Price has quickly become one of the most popular SMS-Activate options, that's why we added discounts for these numbers in our updated loyalty program starting from rank 2. Take part and save up to 40%!
Function implementation for software developers
- To get access to the full list of services and countries, or to get the top countries by a service (getTopCountriesByService method) taking FreePrice numbers into account, add the $freePrice parameter to the value "true". If the parameter is not specified, the information will be passed without taking Free Price numbers into account.
- To specify the maximum price when requesting numbers (getNumber, getNumberV2 method), add the $maxPrice parameter and specify the maximum desired price. If the parameter is not specified, your purchase will not include Free Price numbers.
