US non-VoIP verification numbers (reportedly closed Mar 2026)
DaisySMS reportedly closed on 26 March 2026, so its numbers can no longer receive codes. For accounts you plan to keep, the best DaisySMS alternative is a real mobile number you renew, such as a PhoneBorn United States plan, because the same number keeps receiving login and recovery codes. For one-off codes, single-use OTP numbers fit.
Updated By PhoneBorn TeamEditorial policy
DaisySMS's own website now shows a shutdown notice: it closed on 26 March 2026 after announcing the shutdown on 24 February, and third-party write-ups say balances left after that date were not refunded. PhoneBorn plan numbers are real mobile numbers you keep, with a 7-day replacement guarantee (or a full refund if never used), and single-use OTP numbers are refunded automatically if no code arrives.

Overview
DaisySMS was a verification number service focused entirely on the United States. According to third-party write-ups, it sold US numbers it described as non-VoIP, charged only when a code arrived, offered rentals and optional area-code or carrier selection, and exposed an SMS-Activate-compatible API — which made it popular with people automating US sign-ups.
According to SMSBulk and GlowSMS, DaisySMS announced its shutdown on 24 February 2026 — turning off new sign-ups and top-ups — processed balance refunds during a notice period, and went offline on 26 March 2026. DaisySMS's own website now shows a shutdown notice confirming the 26 March 2026 closure (checked 1 October 2026). SMSBulk notes it knows of no channel to recover funds now that the service is offline.
If you verified accounts with DaisySMS numbers, those accounts now point to numbers you cannot reach. PhoneBorn offers a different model: a plan gives you a real mobile number — in the United States or any of 200 countries — that stays assigned to you as long as you renew, with unlimited incoming SMS and calls, 500 outgoing SMS and 1,000 calling minutes a month. For one-off codes, OTP numbers refund automatically if no code arrives.

If you relied on DaisySMS because its numbers were non-VoIP, read non-VoIP phone numbers for how line type affects acceptance.
To keep this fair: PhoneBorn is not a drop-in replacement for a DaisySMS workflow. There is no SMS-Activate-compatible API, no area-code or carrier selection, and payments are crypto only. Plans carry monthly caps (500 outgoing SMS, 1,000 minutes), and bulk or automated account creation is prohibited. Each platform decides which numbers it accepts, which is why every plan has a 7-day replacement guarantee.
