Question 1

My payment hasn't reflected to your account. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

Wait at least 15 minutes, then contact with us directly. Please prepare your payment receipt.

Question 2

How long will my number remain with me?

Accepted Answer

GetSim provides you with virtual numbers for the period you select. You determine the duration during the purchase process. If you have sufficient balance in your account and the automatic renewal feature is enabled as your period nears its end, your number's usage period will be automatically extended without any additional action required.

Question 3

How does the Auto-Renew feature work?

Accepted Answer

When Auto-Renewal is enabled in the Settings or My Numbers section of your account (either for all numbers or individually), the system checks your balance before your number expires. If there is sufficient balance, the renewal fee is automatically charged, the usage period is extended for the selected period, and you will receive a notification with the new expiration date. if the balance is insufficient or the feature is disabled, renewal will not occur, and you will receive a warning explaining the reason and what you need to do. You can also disable this feature at any time.

Question 4

How will I use the numbers I receive?

Accepted Answer

After you rent a number, just enter it on the target service’s verification screen; SMS codes appear in your in‑app inbox, and your number stays fixed for the entire rental period with unlimited SMS reception. Renewal is handled only via Auto‑Renew; if it’s enabled and you have sufficient balance, your number is extended automatically before it expires, and you can disable this option anytime. If Auto‑Renew is off and the period ends, the number is released and we can’t guarantee you’ll get the same one again.
