For an account you mean to keep
If Facebook asks for a number, give it the line you rent: while you renew, the same line can receive a later code too. A rental lasts the whole term.

Number details
What the line does, what it does not do, and what happens at the end of the term, answered before you buy rather than after.
- Incoming SMS
- As many as arrive during the term. An all-service line takes them from any sender, short codes included; a line listed for Facebook takes that service's only.
- Outgoing SMS and calls
- Not available. A rented line receives; it does not send and it does not ring.
- Type of number
- A carrier-issued mobile number, not VoIP. Whether a service accepts it is still up to that service.
- Who it is rented to
- You alone, for the whole term. It is not drawn from a shared pool, and its messages show only in your account.
- How long it stays yours
- Exactly the term you paid for. It then returns to the provider, and a term that simply ran its course is not refunded — you had the number for all of it.
- Renewing
- A renewal goes back to the same line, so the number and every message on it survive. Nothing renews on its own unless you switch it on.
- Paying
- One charge per term from your prepaid balance, topped up with crypto. There is no subscription to cancel.
How a rented Facebook number works
1
Pick the country
Every country listed has a line in stock. Pick the country whose number you need; its dial code comes with the line.
2
Choose how long you keep it
Every term we can actually source is listed at its own price, and a longer one is quoted at what it really costs rather than at an implied monthly rate. Nothing is prorated and nothing is hidden.

Enter the number in Facebook
If Facebook asks for a number, type it as issued. SMS show in your SIMAREA account, and while you renew, the line stays yours.
Why rent a number for Facebook?
A separate number for your Facebook account
A rented line can receive Facebook's codes while your personal number stays for calls and family. Whether Facebook accepts a rented number is up to Facebook.
The same number if Facebook asks again
This is the reason to rent rather than buy a single code. If Facebook asks for a code again, for example on a login from a new device, the number is the same for as long as you renew.
Non-VoIP, carrier-issued
Some marketplaces and apps reject internet (VoIP) numbers on sight. These are carrier-issued mobile lines, not VoIP.
All your messages in one place
SMS show in your SIMAREA account, which opens on a phone or a computer. You do not need a second SIM card for this.
When a rented line earns its keep
For keeping your own number out of it
When a form asks you to verify a number, give it a line you rent, and keep your own number for the people who call you.
What we promise you
No star ratings and no user counts on this page: we have not measured those, and a number nobody measured is worth nothing to you. These are promises instead — each one is behavior you can hold us to.
The line is yours alone
For the whole term. It is not shared or let to anyone else underneath you, and what arrives on it shows only in your account.
A renewal never changes your number
Renewing goes back to the very same line rather than to another provider, so the number you gave out — and every message on it — carries over intact.
We never sell a term we cannot source
A term appears here only while a line for it is in stock. An absent term is honest scarcity, not a price we are keeping back.
Nothing renews behind your back
Automatic renewal stays off until you turn it on. A term you forget about ends quietly — it does not charge you again and it does not roll into another one.
A line we cannot hand over costs you nothing
If provisioning fails after you are charged, the money returns to your balance automatically. No ticket, no waiting, and no line half-bought.
Every country that carries Facebook, priced
Each country shows its all-service line and, where one exists, a line sold for Facebook alone. Each row quotes the cheapest term available and names it — pick a country in the ladder above to see all of its terms.

What a virtual number for Facebook is for
Facebook can text a code to the phone number on your account: to approve a login when two-factor authentication uses text messages, to reset a forgotten password, and to confirm the number when you add it. A virtual number for Facebook is a carrier-issued line you rent so those texts keep reaching you, in your SIMAREA account.
The line only receives. It can't answer calls or send texts, so wherever Facebook offers a choice, pick the SMS. Whether Facebook takes a particular number is Facebook's decision.
Two-factor by text ties your login to the term
With text messages as your second factor, every new-device login waits on a code to this number, so the account is only as reachable as the rental:
- Think in half-years, not weeks. A term of 6 or 12 months suits a second factor; turn on automatic renewal yourself, and every renewal continues the same number.
- Add a backup method. In the two-factor authentication settings in Accounts Center, Facebook can also use an authentication app and give you recovery codes to keep.
- Swap the number before you let it go. While still signed in, add your new number in Accounts Center and remove the rented one; a lapsed rental returns to the provider.
Facebook line or all-service line
Two kinds of line receive Facebook's texts, and they differ in what you can undo. The Facebook line, rented in the US, the UK, or Australia, runs 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, or 12 months and is final once paid. The all-service line takes SMS from every sender and adds seven more countries: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands, Israel, and Hong Kong. Its US and UK versions also run for 1 day, too short for a second factor. It can be canceled for a full refund shortly after renting, while no SMS has arrived and the provider still accepts it: two hours at most, sometimes less.
Per country and term, the ladder above quotes the lower-priced line, and your order's Services row names it before you pay. For the all-service line every time, rent from a country page such as Germany.
Facebook numbers: before you rent
Do I need to keep the number after Facebook confirms it?
Yes, if two-factor or password resets rely on it. Later two-factor prompts and resets go to the same number, so it has to still be yours: renew the rental, or swap the number in Accounts Center before you let it go.
What happens if the rental ends while two-factor is on?
The number goes back to the provider and your codes stop reaching you. A saved recovery code or an authentication app still works if you set one up; otherwise it's Facebook's own recovery process.
Can Instagram's codes come to the same number?
On an all-service line, yes, since it receives SMS from any sender. The Facebook line is the one listed for Facebook alone.
What if Facebook's codes stop arriving?
Compare the number in Accounts Center with the one in your SIMAREA account, then ask Facebook for a fresh code. A line that fails on the provider's side is replaced, or the unused part of the term refunded (refund policy).
