Tell A Bot

Tell A Bot is an online service providing temporary US phone numbers for SMS verification, with service available since 2016. It helps users receive one-time verification codes without sharing their personal phone number. The platform supports more than 700 apps and services, including social, messaging, shopping, and email platforms.

Codes typically arrive within 5–30 seconds, and each number is available for up to 15 minutes. Some numbers are offered free, while paid verification starts at $0. 07 per code; users pay only after an SMS is received.

Tell A Bot accepts cryptocurrency payments, including Bitcoin, Litecoin, and several USDT networks. Developers can use its API or webhook delivery to automate number requests and receive codes for SMS verification workflows. Getting started involves creating an account, adding funds, selecting an available US number for a service, and receiving the code online.

Tell A Bot states that temporary numbers are for legitimate use only; banking services are not permitted, and verification success varies by platform
