You only pay when the code arrives

Numo bills SMS verification per received code. Renting a number does not charge you — it freezes the price from your wallet as a hold. The hold is captured only when the verification code is delivered and released automatically if it never arrives or you cancel. A failed verification costs you nothing and requires no refund request.

The lifecycle of a rental

  1. 1

    Rent. You pick a service and country. The shown price is frozen from your available balance — status: held, not charged.

  2. 2

    Receive. The SMS code appears on-screen, usually within seconds. The hold is captured — this is the only moment money actually leaves your wallet.

  3. 3

    Or timeout / cancel. No code before the order expires, or you cancel? The hold is released back to your available balance automatically.

Why this matters

Success rates in SMS verification are never 100% — numbers get rejected, some services throttle certain countries, codes occasionally never send. Pricing that ignores this pushes the risk onto you. Numo’s hold-and-capture model aligns the incentive: we surface live per-country success rates and stock before you buy, and if a number fails, it is our inventory problem, not your loss.

Common questions

When am I actually charged for an SMS verification number?

Only when the verification code is delivered. Renting a number freezes the price from your wallet balance as a hold; the hold is captured the moment a code arrives and released automatically if it does not.

What happens if no code arrives?

The hold on your wallet is released automatically when the order times out or you cancel — you pay nothing and there is no support ticket or dispute process.

Do I need to request the refund manually?

No. Refunds are automatic. When an order finishes without a delivered code, the frozen amount returns to your available balance on its own.

Why do other SMS services make refunds hard?

Many providers charge upfront and require support tickets or minimum-balance withdrawals to get money back. Numo’s hold-and-capture model makes the refund path structural: money only moves when a code is delivered.
