I set up call forwarding but it does not work
You can start using the service within 10-20 minutes after the moment of activation. After 20 minutes, please check your balance. The service will be stopped in case of a negative balance.

Some of the services depend on the your network dress. Please check the location of your proxy server address and VPN. It should be the same with the location of your virtual phone number.
Try using another Internet browser or device. Learn our instructions for virtual phone number registration in each of the services.
I have bought a virtual number but the system writes «the phone number has already been taken» or «the account is locked»
Some of the mobile providers reissue the number that was taken before. This is a rather common procedure, and none of SMS receiving services are fully insured. To check such a one-time phone number is technically impossible until receiving a passcode.
Although, there are many reasons why your account may be locked, starting from the registration of multiple phone numbers from the same device and ending with blocking a number. To learn more about this you can click here.
