Tango SMS verification number

20 minutes from the moment the number is reserved. Most codes land within the first minute. Open the app's sign-up screen before you buy, so the window is not spent waiting on you.

You are not charged. The price is held on your balance while the number waits, and released back to you automatically when the window closes without an SMS. You can also cancel after 2 minutes if you would rather try another network straight away.

A one-time number is reserved for one service and one code window of 20 minutes. If you need the same number again later — to log back in or to receive a second code — rent a number for 7, 14 or 30 days instead.

Yes. Once you have picked the app and the country, every available network is listed with its price, its stock and its measured delivery rate. SmsWays pre-selects the best one — enough stock and a proven rate, then the lowest price — and you can switch to any other.

It is the share of recent orders on that network where the code actually arrived. Four bars means codes arrive most of the time; one bar means the route works but less reliably. Since you are only charged when a code arrives, the rate costs you time, not money.

Prices follow what each mobile network charges for that app in that country, and they change with demand. You always see the exact price before you pay, and the price you see is the price you pay.
