Question 1

Can user information be disclosed to official authorities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If GetCode receives a valid legal request, court order, regulatory demand, or other lawful request from a competent authority, relevant information may be disclosed to the extent required by applicable law. This may include account, transaction, technical, and security-related records.

Question 2

Does GetCode guarantee privacy against all third parties?

Accepted Answer

No service can guarantee absolute invisibility or immunity from lawful investigation. GetCode applies security measures and privacy protections, but users should not assume that using a temporary number removes legal responsibility or makes activity untraceable in all circumstances. This is also consistent with GetCode’s published privacy and abuse-prevention framework.

Question 3

What is a frozen balance?

Accepted Answer

GetCode uses the frozen balance system within the system.  When you top up your account, you have an active balance. When you buy a number, this becomes a frozen balance. The balance remains frozen until you receive a verification code for the number you bought. If you cancel the number or do not receive the code, your frozen balance will be transferred back to the active balance. If your number receives a code, your frozen balance will be reduced. 

So you will not lose your balance on numbers that do not receive a code. If the number does not receive a code, you can return the existing number and get a new number using your available balance.

Question 4

How do I earn coins for free or by doing tasks?

Accepted Answer

GetCode is a fully paid app and unfortunately it does not support the system of earning coins by doing tasks. But we have good news for you! You will receive 20% bonus coins for purchases of 3 coins or more. You can top up your balance via crypto, credit card or in-app purchases in My Account.

Question 7

I did not receive an SMS to the number I received, what should I do?

Accepted Answer

We are working towards improving the number performance. If the number you received has not received an SMS within 2-3 minutes, you can cancel your number by clicking the cancel button on the top right of the number detail page and try your transaction with another number.

Question 8

What will happen to my balance if I do not receive an SMS to the number I bought?

Accepted Answer

Nothing! When you buy a number, the amount equal to the price of your number is frozen in your balance. If your number expires before you receive an SMS, your balance will be restored. Only your numbers that have received SMS will be deducted from your balance.

Question 9

What will happen to my balance if I cancel the number I bought?

Accepted Answer

Nothing! When you buy a number, the amount equal to the price of your number is frozen in your balance. If you cancel your number before SMS comes, your balance will be restored. Only your numbers that have received SMS will be deducted from your balance.

Question 10

Why do some numbers receive SMS and some do not?

Accepted Answer

We are sorry for this :( We cannot guarantee 100% delivery for every country and service. Therefore, if you do not receive an SMS within 3-5 minutes, we can suggest you to cancel your number and try again. Thanks to the stars we put in the number list, you can observe the delivery performance of that service in that country and make your choice accordingly. We generally experience such delivery problems in countries under $2. We are working hard to improve our services.

Question 11

Is there a guarantee that the number will not be used by anyone else?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, we cannot offer such an opportunity for short-term rentals. You can do this with our daily/weekly/monthly rental model, which will be published soon, and you can be sure that the number you purchased will not be used by anyone else.

Question 12

Why SMS does not arrive?

Accepted Answer

Please consider the following recommendations:

1. Repeat sending the SMS code from the selected service to the purchased phone number.

2. Change your IP address. Use a proxy or VPN. Your IP address should comply with the country of the purchased phone number.

3. Apply extensions in the browser to change the user-agent or open the tab in incognito mode. Many websites track a certain set of user information.

4. Try to buy another phone number.

Question 13

The accounts I buy close immediately, what should I do?

Accepted Answer

Since the accounts you have acquired are new, they are subject to a strict spam policy by the service providers. We therefore recommend that you refrain from excessive activity when you first start using these new accounts. Please note that this is not due to the limitations of the GetCode application, but because the services are more sensitive to fraudulent logins.

In order to provide you with the best service, we ask you to pay attention to this issue. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you very much.

Question 14

The created account was banned after a while

Accepted Answer

According to our rules, we are not responsible for the ban of registered accounts, since ban is affected by many factors. Refund or numbers replacement are not stipulated in this case.


One of the most common reasons for ban is the discrepancy between your IP address and the geolocation of the purchased phone number. You can learn more about account registration methods on specialized forums.


We are not engaged in accounts registration, our task is to issue SMS-code for account verification


General recommendations:

1) Use high-quality proxy/VPN. For example, exclusive/private proxy. Upon 2 or more accounts authorization you have to use different proxies.

2) Use different devices to login to several accounts. You have to use various profile programs and services. Different devices are:

- Changing user-agent in the browser, using special browsers, which change the given device themselves;

- Computer, second computer; phone, second phone.

3) Perform human-like actions: filling in pages, subscribing to several people, uploading several photos, reposting entries, putting likes, writing comments.
