For successful farming and arbitration, anti-detect browsers aren't the only thing that matters. Before you can manage accounts, you need to register them with virtual numbers. This is where problems arise: SMS don't arrive, the necessary countries and services aren't available, mobile operators are overloaded, and services have increased moderation. If these issues aren't addressed, businesses lose time and money, and their development and scaling are slowed down.
We're going to tell you how SMS-Activate solves problems with number registration and saves its clients' budgets and precious minutes. Spoiler: it's not just about SMS; we even have a whole system of discounts.
Physical numbers are a priority — more successful activations
There are two types of numbers: physical and virtual. We primarily use physical numbers, which are more reliable for both the user and the service:
- SMS-Activate works with SIM card suppliers. We can see the cards' activation history and prevent reselling and reuse.
- Our company checks the supplier for any shady schemes in their past. We only form a partnership if their previous collaborations are beyond question.
- The company has access to the supplier's equipment. We can see how the SIM cards are working and if they're being removed prematurely.
If a supplier consistently has problems, the company ends the partnership and looks for a new one.
Virtual numbers are less reliable. Here are a few reasons why:
- It's impossible to track the activation history because the number isn't transmitted directly through the supplier but through third parties.
- SMS-Activate doesn't have access to the equipment. It's impossible to track how honestly the SIM cards are doing their job.
- A virtual number may have already been used and have accounts in services or even bans. In this case, the registration will fail, and SMS-Activate will immediately refund the money.
Our service prioritizes physical numbers. If they aren't available for sale, then we use virtual ones. Our portal has a breakdown of the advantages of physical numbers over virtual ones (spoiler: there are 20% more successful activations).
The user can choose the mobile operator to receive SMS — we increase deliverability
The deliverability of codes depends on the mobile operator. Here's the thing: data centers may not accept, not deliver, or delay SMS data for too long. Our company can't control this process.
💡We solved the operator problem by working with several at once. You can choose them when you buy a number. If the codes still don't arrive, our service will refund your money.
We bypass additional email moderation
Services crack down on multi-accounting. For example, Telegram now requires you to enter an email address for registration: the code first arrives there and only then on your phone. This moderation has forced arbitrageurs to spend more time and money:
- It costs money to register a temporary email. And it's not profitable to buy a Google account just for the email.
- If Telegram notices that numbers are being linked to the same email, it will block it. You constantly have to buy new ones.
- A farmer's workday is doubled. After all, to enter a code, you have to wait for it to arrive. It can take a long time or not arrive at all. This is a waste of time for both manual registrations and software.
- Deliverability drops by half. It's all about the equipment. Data centers can simply fail to send an SMS to your phone. And now email is added — another hurdle the code has to get through. This results in a waste of time and nerves.
With the SMS-Activate service, a user can buy a temporary email to bypass moderation. It costs less than a Google account and won't be spam-blocked since it's used only once. All emails are pre-registered and aged.
Services like Telegram don't just look at email spam. If you register numbers from the same IP address, the messenger will detect it and send you to the spam block. At the same time, it will block new accounts from logging in and even block personal accounts if they were registered from a spammed IP.
To avoid being sent to the spam block, we recommend GonzoProxy, which uses a mobile IP. It helps not only to bypass blocks but also increases account survivability. The combination of SMS-Activate and a Proxy helps save time and money for multi-accounting and arbitration.
We implemented Free Price — we bypass number shortages and save time
There can be a shortage of numbers when large players are buying them, there's a sudden surge in demand for a country or service, or services have released an update with a new blocking system. Some companies with fixed prices sell out all their supplies, while others hold on to numbers to sell them to «golden» clients at a price above the market rate.
💰SMS-Activate solved this problem with Free Price. The feature works on the principle of open bidding:
- The user sets the price on the website they're willing to pay for a number.
- The supplier evaluates their offer: if the price is acceptable, they'll sell the number.
- SIM card suppliers find it profitable to sell to those who set a price above the market rate. They don't have to wait for a buyer at the regular price.
The feature helps everyone come out ahead: the client gets numbers faster than anyone else, and the suppliers earn more money.
We developed a loyalty program for wholesalers: discounts up to 70%
To support our regular clients, we reduce the cost of numbers. If a person is farming and buys large volumes from us, we give them discounts. In addition to a nice bonus, this approach covers the money spent on bypassing moderation: for example, when services introduce additional email verification.
📌Here's how SMS-Activate's loyalty system works to save your budget:
- The user gets a rank when they top up their balance. The higher the rank, the more privileges they get.
- The first step is to top up the balance with $10. Then the person gets rank 1 and wholesale prices, which are much lower than retail prices.
- The next step is discounts on Free Price up to 60% and wholesale prices forever. They will also be able to remove spam blocks from their account and add the necessary IP addresses to the whitelist. To do this, you need to top up your balance with $500.
- The last step is $4,000. The user gets maximum discounts: up to 70% on Free Price, the privileges of the previous step, and VIP support.
- Wholesale price discounts increase with rank. The higher the rank, the higher the discounts.
- To use the loyalty system, you need to top up your balance every week. If the top-up amount is less than the previous week's, the rank is lowered.
To understand how each privilege works, go to the website and read the instructions. The rules for topping up and recalculating your rank are also described there.

Instructions: how to use the SMS-Activate service
To make your experience with our service comfortable, we've prepared registration instructions. Go to the website and create an account by following these instructions:
Step 1. Register and top up your balance
To buy numbers, you must have an account and money in your balance. You can't buy directly with a card, and numbers aren't available without registration.
1. To activate your account, specify your email or verify your identity through other services: Telegram, Google, GitHub. Keep in mind that you can only access the site from some countries through a VPN or proxy, such as GonzoProxy.
2. When registering on the website, enter the promo code GONZOPROXYSMS to buy numbers at a discount at wholesale prices. Activate it by clicking on the orange person icon next to the «Top up» button, and then click «Enter a promo code»
3. Click the «Top up» button in the upper right corner and select a payment method. Then enter the amount and click «Top up» below the amount field. A number costs from $0.007.
Step 2. Choose a virtual number
On the main page of the website, there's a list of countries, services, and available numbers. Follow the instructions:
1. On the left panel of services, select the desired service. If the needed service isn't on the quick access panel, type it into the search bar.
2. Select the phone number of the country you need. Important: if you have a proxy enabled, choose the number for the country you're in thanks to the bypass. Then click on the cart icon.
3. Select the desired parameters and click the «Buy» button at the bottom of the screen. If you have money in your balance, you'll be taken to the activations page, where the purchased numbers are displayed.
4. Enter the purchased number in the service's registration window. The service will send an SMS to it, which will be displayed in the «Activations» section.
5. When the SMS arrives, copy it and paste it into the required service. Congratulations, you've registered an account!

Advantages of SMS-Activate: what benefits do users get?
Our virtual number activation service helps businesses grow in multi-accounting, farming, and arbitration. Also, our tools work better in conjunction with GonzoProxy, which helps you access the site, bypass service blocks, and register numbers more effectively.
Here's a summary of the advantages:
- Physical numbers are a priority. This improves deliverability, as virtual numbers aren't always reliable. We monitor number suppliers. If there are regular problems on their end, we don't stay silent; we end the partnership and look for new ones.
- We work with several mobile operators. We save users time: thanks to this feature, you don't have to wait for problems on the provider's end to be resolved. You just need to switch providers.
- We bypass shortages during peak demand. If numbers are needed on a high-demand day, the user pays a higher price and gets them despite the demand. This method prevents downtime for software and farms.
- We use a loyalty system. If the user constantly uses the service, they get discounts and privileges. The more you top up your balance, the greater the benefits.
- We register emails. If an email is required to bypass moderation, it can be bought on the website. It costs less than a Google account.
