How do I buy a ready-made account right away?
Account was banned
Many of our clients use software that allows them to buy a huge amount of numbers in a short period of time. The software may not work correctly and then this set of numbers will not be registered and will not be available to other users.
To avoid such "downtime" of numbers, our website has a rule:
You must have at least 6% of successful activations for the service, the calculation comes from 100 purchased numbers. Otherwise, the system will block you automatically for 30 minutes for each subsequent failed activation
Statistics are reset to zero for the next day at 00:00 Moscow time.

To withdraw funds from the balance of your personal account, please write to the technical support team, specifying the exact amount of the withdrawal.
The minimum withdrawal amount for all payment systems is 10 rubles.

Withdrawal process can take up to 7 days after the request. (If you topped up your balance through the Alipay payment system, then the processing of withdrawal request is 30 days)
Important! You can request a withdrawal only through the mail which was used to register your account!
Ready-made accounts
Account was blocked
Reasons for blocking accounts on the site.

When the number is canceled too quickly within ~ 10 seconds.
3. Suspicious actions on the site:
The security system will automatically install 0 or 1 threads if the fact of fraud registration of a service that you did not purchase is confirmed, or for actions that violate the laws of the Russian Federation or other fraudulent actions.

The number is ordered by the following link:

There is already an account on the rental number.
Unfortunately, this happens due to the reissue of a phone number by a mobile operator that has already been registered.

Our resource specializes in issuing an SMS code to a rented number so that you can register an account, at the same time, we do not guarantee receiving bonuses or discounts from the services where registration is carried out.

Use of foreign numbers
Recommendations for work with foreign numbers
When registering the most popular services, such as VK, Telegram, Viber, FB, Insta, etc. we recommend following some simple rules.
Compliance with these recommendations is not a panacea, but it greatly increases your chances of successful registration.
Use Proxy or VPN
Most services detect your location by an IP address and match it with a registered number.
For example, you are from England, but you want to register VK on the number of Kazakhstan. You need to make VK think you're from Kazakhstan.
This can be done using proxy servers, they can be free and toll. You can read on the Internet how to use and where to find them.
Use not your main browser for registrations
All browsers store the history of your activities on the Internet.
Install the second browser or if you already have it, clear it (cookie, cache, history). You can find info on how to do that specifically for your browser on the net.
As an alternative, use the "incognito" mode.
Change the operator
Unfortunately sometimes you may be given low-quality numbers due to the fault of unfair suppliers. This is an extremely rare case, but it happens.
In this case, we recommend changing the operator.
You can do this by adding the services you are interested in to your Favorites:
Most likely the above recommendations will help you, but we can’t be 100% sure.
Our service sells numbers for receiving SMS, but not accounts.
We don't own any insider information. We do not know thoroughly the algorithms of instant messengers and social networks based on which they ban, block or do not allow registrations.
There are forums or other resources on the Internet where you can find such information.
You can also write your recommendations on the use of numbers for registration by mail to [email protected] If your recommendation is valid, you will definitely receive a money reward.
Activation of a previously registered account.
Unfortunately, this happens due to the reissue of a phone number by a mobile operator that has already been registered. No Internet activation service is insured against such risks, since it is impossible to check this in advance, before receiving the registration code, for technical reasons. And updating the database depends solely on the selected service.
Our resource specializes in issuing an SMS code to a rented number so that you can register an account, at the same time, we do not guarantee receiving bonuses or discounts from the services where registration is carried out. Alas, a refund is not possible in this case.
