How Germany lines work
Pick your line
An all-service Germany line accepts codes from any app. Some countries also have lines listed for one app; those can't be canceled once rented.
Choose the time
You can see the price for every term above, and you pay it once for the whole term.
Read everything here
All your messages go straight to your SIMAREA dashboard. You can read them on any device.
Renew to keep it
When you renew, you keep the exact same number and your message history. We never auto-renew unless you tell us to.

A number that stays with you
A virtual number stays with you. As long as you keep renewing it, you can still use it months later to reset a password or log in from a new device.
Your own number stays out of those sign-ups. Keep the line for as long as you pay; if you don't renew, the rental simply ends.
one line for every serviceA carrier number, not VoIP
Some apps block internet (VoIP) numbers. Our virtual lines are carrier-issued mobile numbers, not VoIP.

Teams and businesses can hold different lines for different regions. Everyone reads the messages from one account without needing to share a real phone.

Practical notes before you buy, so you don't have to ask.
- A renewal always goes back to the same upstream line, so renewing keeps the number and its whole history.
- Banks and government services that require a number registered to your identity will still refuse a rented line, by design.
A Germany virtual phone number takes SMS from any sender
A Germany virtual phone number from SIMAREA is a +49 line issued by a carrier, not a VoIP service, and rented to you alone. Germany has one kind of rental line, the all-service one, so a messenger, a webshop, and an email provider can all send codes to the same number, and each SMS lands in your account. Terms are 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, or 12 months.
Being all-service, a German line can be canceled for a full refund shortly after you rent it, while no SMS has arrived and the provider still accepts the cancellation: two hours at most, sometimes less. The refund policy covers the rest.
Typing a +49 number into a form
At home, German numbers start with a 0. In the international form that 0 disappears and +49 goes in front; the other digits don't change.
- A country list: choose Germany (+49) and type the number without its 0.
- One box: type +49 and the digits after the 0. Some German forms write the code as 0049 instead: 00 is the prefix for calling out of Germany, so both mean the same.
- A length check: German numbers vary in length, so a +49 number shorter or longer than one you know isn't a typo. Copy it from your account instead of counting.
Keeping German accounts after you move away
A long German rental suits people who lived in Germany and left. Their German SIM is gone, yet a webshop, a classifieds profile, a streaming subscription, or a car-sharing app still sends codes to a +49 number. Move those accounts to a rented line and renew before each term ends: a renewal keeps the same number, and automatic renewal stays off until you switch it on. If a term lapses, the number returns to the provider.
Banks and government services in Germany that need a number registered in your name won't take a rented line.
Only visiting? The Germany eSIM gives mobile data but no number.
Germany virtual numbers: questions
Is there a German number just for WhatsApp or Telegram?
No. Germany has no line listed for a single app. The all-service line receives SMS from WhatsApp, Telegram, and any other sender, so one +49 number can hold the codes for both; each app decides whether it accepts it.
Can I get a Berlin or Munich number?
No. You rent a German line, not a place: the number comes with its own +49 digits, and no city or area can be requested.
Can people call me on the German number?
No. The line takes incoming SMS only: nobody can ring it, you can't call out, and it can't send texts. When a sign-up offers to read the code aloud, choose the text option.
Is there a permanent German virtual number?
No. Each rental runs for its term. Renewing before the end continues on the same +49 number, term after term, for as long as you keep renewing.
