SMSPool review
SMSPool, operated by SMSPool B.V. and registered in the Netherlands, offers one-time and rental phone numbers for receiving verification codes. The service is accessible via a website, apps, and an API. An account is required to place an order. Payments can be made using cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and iDEAL through Stripe, or cryptocurrencies via licensed payment partners. If no SMS is received within the specified time, the order is refunded to your balance. However, unused balance refunds are only available within 14 days, and some services like Google Voice require an approved application first. In our view, SMSPool suits users who want verification numbers from a registered company.
ID rule not stated
SMSPool's own pages do not give one answer on when it asks for ID.

How we read the terms
We do not give privacy services a score. We record what each provider's own pages say: when it asks for ID, the limits, who holds your coins and what it costs. Labels come from each provider's terms, never from our guess. How we read the terms
Our process
We take fees, availability, licenses and coin counts from primary sources: SMSPool's own fee schedules, terms and help pages, and the public registers kept by regulators. Every value carries the date we last checked it. The values on this page were checked on October 22, 2026.
Not legal or tax advice. This page explains how these services work and what their own terms say. It is general information, not legal, tax or financial advice. Rules differ by country and change often. Check the rules where you live, or ask a qualified professional, before you use any service listed here.
