One-time number or rental?

When a one-time code is enough and when you should rent the number instead.

One-time code

Best for a single sign-up where you won’t need the number again.

  • You get one number for up to 20 minutes.
  • You can request extra codes while the order is open.
  • You only pay if a code arrives.
  • When the order ends, the number is released. You won’t be able to get it back later.

Rental (7 or 30 days)

Best for accounts that matter: ones you’ll log in to again, or that may ask for a code later (new device, password reset, security checks).

  • The number is yours for the whole rental. Every SMS sent to it appears in SpeedNumx.
  • You pay up front for the period.
  • Turn on auto-renew and we’ll renew it from your wallet before it ends. We remind you a day before.
  • If you cancel early, the number stops receiving messages. The unused time isn’t refunded.

Rule of thumb

If losing access to this account would hurt (your business WhatsApp, a bank, an email you’ll keep), rent the number. If it’s a quick test or a throwaway account, a one-time code is fine.

Not every app and country can be rented. If the rental options don’t appear when you buy, that combination isn’t available right now.
