Phone Number Rentals and SMS by Country
· 6 min read
Searching for an Australia number to rent, a Brazil number for one SMS, or a phone number from another country? Choose the country and the type of access separately. Simvo's one-time SMS catalogue covers more countries than its rental selector. A country appearing in one list does not automatically make it available in the other.
This guide brings the supported rental periods and the live one-time country catalogue together. It links to the relevant country page or selector so you can check the service you actually need, rather than relying on an old list of prices.
Which countries have rental numbers?
The current all-services rental choices are listed below. Each is for receiving SMS during a fixed period, without selecting a single website in advance. Calls, outgoing SMS, data and physical SIM cards are not included. Website acceptance and final number assignment are checked separately from whether a plan is listed.
- United States (+1): 28 days.
- United Kingdom (+44): 30 days.
- Hong Kong (+852): 30 days or 180 days (six months).
- Indonesia (+62): 30 days or 180 days (six months).
- Australia (+61): 30 days.
The US period is 28 days, not 30. Hong Kong and Indonesia have the six-month choices; Australia has a 30-day plan. Check the expiry on your actual order, and do not assume that automatic renewal is included.
One-time SMS or a number rental?
Choose a one-time order when you need a code for the specific service selected at purchase. Review that order's receiving window and refund eligibility. Choose a rental when you need the same number available for incoming messages across its stated period. A rental is an access purchase, with different refund rules from a one-code order.
For example, Australia has a 30-day rental as well as one-time service options. Brazil currently has one-time options, without a Brazil rental plan. If your task requires a particular country, verify that the required product is listed before paying.
Find a country in Simvo's catalogue
The directory below comes from the current sellable one-time catalogue, combined with the supported rental countries. Service counts describe listed service options, not a count of guaranteed available phone numbers. Stock, prices and acceptance can differ by service. Open a country's options to check the match you need.
204 countries currently have one-time service listings in this directory. Rental periods are shown only where Simvo has a configured rental plan.
How to compare the final price
For one-time numbers, choose the service and country together before comparing options. For rentals, compare the full charge for the entire period. Select your wallet and review the exact amount shown before confirming; a display estimate is not a combined balance across your wallets. Simvo shows the price in the selector rather than fixing it in this country list.
Keep the number and expiry in view
Copy the issued number accurately, select its matching country code on the other service and request an SMS rather than a call. Read one-time messages in My numbers and rental messages in My rentals. If assignment is pending, check that order before purchasing again. Set up a separate account recovery method before a rental expires.
