How to choose virtual phone numbers tools
Start with what the number is for. Some tools here give you a number to keep. Others give you a number for a single verification code. Sonetel and Zadarma are business telephony services: numbers in many countries that ring in an app or a cloud PBX. Hushed gives you second and temporary numbers on your phone for private calls and texts. 5SIM and SMSPVA are built for receiving SMS verification codes, and SMSPVA also rents numbers.
Next, look at the pricing model. Zadarma (from $4/mo) and Sonetel are freemium. Hushed is paid, from $6.99/mo. 5SIM and SMSPVA are paid, but we don't have their exact prices.
Then check platforms. Hushed works only in its iOS and Android apps. Sonetel has web, mobile apps and an API. Zadarma, 5SIM and SMSPVA run on the web and through an API.
Finally, if you need to automate things, every tool here except Hushed offers an API. Zadarma also includes a free PBX, a CRM and an AI agent.
