How do I rent a phone number?

Rental Numbers7/11/2026

Renting a number on NorthSMS takes just a few steps:

  1. Open the rental numbers section and pick the country you need a number from. Pricing and availability vary by country and change constantly, so check what is currently offered.
  2. Choose your rental plan — options range from hourly up to annual depending on the country.
  3. Confirm the purchase. The cost is charged from your wallet balance immediately at purchase. If your balance is not enough, top up first on the Add Balance page.
  4. Your number is assigned right away. Open its detail page to view incoming SMS — you can start receiving messages immediately.

Auto-renew is on by default for new rentals, so your number renews itself before it expires as long as your wallet has enough funds. You can turn this on or off per rental from the number's settings.
