An SMSPVA alternative with more countries and automatic refunds

Why do people look for sites like SMSPVA?

The most common reason is coverage. SMSPVA advertises 60+ countries, which covers the big markets but not every country an app may require. People also look for an alternative when a refund for a code that never arrived needs a support ticket, or when they want retry codes included in the order price.

Others are simply building redundancy. Stock for one app and country can disappear in an hour, and a second provider with a compatible API keeps a sign-up flow moving. Below, each claim about SMSPVA comes from its own pages, with the date we checked.

How do refunds compare?

SMSPVA's refund policy (checked October 24, 2026) says it does not issue refunds once a number has been activated successfully, and that claims for an SMS that never arrived should be sent to support within 7 days of purchase. Its site rules add that every refund request is reviewed individually, that orders under 'Any other' are not refunded, and that withdrawals are not provided.

TempSMSVerify handles the common case without a ticket. Buying a number only freezes its price; if no SMS arrives before the number expires after up to 20 minutes, the amount is released to your balance automatically. You can also cancel after about 2 minutes to get it back immediately.

Real SIM numbers, operators and what TempSMSVerify can promise

SMSPVA says it offers both VoIP numbers and real SIM cards, and its catalog lets you pick the mobile operator for a country. Some apps treat line types differently, so operator and line choice is a real advantage when an app is strict.

TempSMSVerify does not let you choose the operator or promise a line type. Numbers come from HeroSMS and 5sim lines, the line type is set by the provider, and the catalog shows live stock per app and country. What we do promise is the billing: if the app never sends the code, you are not charged. For background, see /glossary/voip-number.

Can I move an SMSPVA integration to TempSMSVerify?

SMSPVA documents several APIs at docs.smspva.com: an activation API v2 with the key in an apikey header, a deprecated v1 at priemnik.php, a rental API, a private email API and an alternative activation API at /stubs/handler_api.php that uses api_key. If your tool uses that alternative endpoint, moving is mostly a base URL and key change.

If you use the v2 activation API (GET /activation/number/{country}/{service} and GET /activation/sms/{orderid}), the rewrite is short: POST /api/v1/orders to buy, GET /api/v1/orders/{id} to poll and POST /api/v1/orders/{id}/cancel to cancel, with your key in X-Api-Key. Country and service codes differ between providers, so map them with getCountries and getServicesList.

How should I compare SMSPVA prices with TempSMSVerify?

Both sites price by app, country and stock, so a copied price is stale within hours. Compare the live price for your exact app and country at the same time on both sites; ours is on /temp-number-prices.

Then compare the cost of a finished verification. On SMSPVA, each additional SMS is billed like an ordinary one, according to its API docs. On TempSMSVerify, extra codes on an active number are included, card top-ups carry a 10% fee, crypto has none and the balance never expires.

When is SMSPVA the better choice?

SMSPVA is the better fit if you need to choose the mobile operator, prefer its real SIM-based lines for a strict app, or need rentals that last days, weeks or months. Its private email rentals and proxies also cover tasks TempSMSVerify does not.

TempSMSVerify makes more sense when you need a country outside SMSPVA's 60+, want failed orders refunded automatically without a claim, want retry codes included and prefer a balance that never expires.

Do the same usage rules apply?

Yes. Both services exclude banks and other sensitive senders. Use numbers only for accounts you own, follow each app's terms and never use them for fraud, spam, impersonation or getting around bans. See /acceptable-use for our rules.
