How to choose sms verification services tools
All three services listed here sell phone numbers that receive one-time verification codes. They differ in a few practical ways.
Number type and duration. Most of the time you need a number for a single code. SMSPVA offers both temporary numbers and rental numbers, from more than 60 countries. A rental makes sense if you'll need to verify the same account again later. 5SIM and Grizzly SMS are listed as temporary or pay-per-use numbers.
Where you use it. All three work in a web browser and through an API. Grizzly SMS also has an Android app and a Telegram bot, which helps if you buy numbers from your phone.
API access. If you want to automate buying numbers and reading codes, all three offer an API. Check each one's documentation before you commit.
Pricing model. None of these is free. Grizzly SMS describes itself as pay-per-use. We haven't tested these services, so compare prices for the specific country and website you need.
