Your phone does not need to install the eSIM. Confirm SMS capability and hosting permission, then add details, request a window, and read messages in a browser.
Create an account and save the details of an eSIM you bought and are authorized to use. Give the number a name that makes it easy to recognize.
Saving details uses no receiving credits and does not install the eSIM. First confirm SMS capability and supplier permission for hosting and installation.
Buy a package or redeem a voucher on Plans. Credits belong to your account and can be used across your own numbers.
The first confirmed view of each complete SMS uses 1 credit. Viewing it again and copying are free. Receipt, previews and refreshes use no credits. A request reserves 1 credit. Its first linked message uses that reservation; each further message uses another available credit. An unused reservation is released when the window ends, with its original expiry.
Choose a number and wait through queueing and preparation. When it shows “Ready to receive”, request the third-party SMS. Check “Recent messages” on Numbers; full history is in Messages.
A five-minute window starts after preparation. A qualifying new message ends it after 30 seconds by default, or you can choose to wait until the five minutes are up.
Illustrative steps: this is a static explanation, not live service or number status, and not evidence of received SMS.
The request is accepted. Follow the waiting status; do not request the third-party code early.
The number is being prepared. The five minutes have not started. Follow any maintenance or error instructions.
The five-minute window starts. Request the third-party SMS, then return to Numbers to read recent messages.
This window is no longer waiting. Recent messages remain across requests and full history is in Messages. Request another window when needed.
