Which product should I choose?
Choose a retained phone-number plan when you need the same number for future messages, calls or recovery. A single-use OTP order is for one code for the selected service; do not assume you can reuse that number later.

Before you choose: direct answers
These answers describe the published product and policy. They are not independent delivery or uptime measurements. Reviewed . Read the same answers as JSON.
Is the advertised monthly price the amount I pay today?
A monthly equivalent qualified by the 12-month plan describes a longer prepaid term. Check the selected term, full payable total and renewal conditions at checkout. Other term prices are shown there.
Does a blockchain confirmation mean my balance is ready?
No. On-chain transfer, payment review, spendable wallet balance and number assignment are separate stages. PhoneBorn payments are confirmed by the team; no measured confirmation-time guarantee is published here.
Can I round the crypto payment amount?
Send exactly the amount, asset and network shown on the current invoice, to its displayed address and within its window. Wrong-amount deposits are not credited to your wallet. If a payment differs from the instructions, contact support before sending again.
Where does an eligible unused-number refund go?
An eligible unused phone-number-plan refund goes to the PhoneBorn wallet balance. This is store credit, not a promise of a refund to the original blockchain wallet. Read the conditions, window and replacement rules before purchase.
Will every app accept every number?
No universal acceptance guarantee applies. The receiving platform controls number eligibility, region checks, rate limits and account requirements. Correct formatting or a successful first SMS does not prove that a future login or a different app will work.
Does a country page prove that I qualify for every service there?
No. A country listing is not proof of residence, business presence, app eligibility or delivery from every sender. Check current stock, required capabilities and the target service's rules before paying.
Does an online number include a SIM or mobile data?
An online phone-number product is separate from a SIM, mobile-data plan and emergency-service connection. You need internet access for the dashboard and another suitable way to make emergency calls.
Can I transfer an existing number or move this number elsewhere?
Do not assume porting is available. Ask support about the exact number and destination before cancelling a current service. Buying a new number and changing an app's contact number is different from carrier-level porting.
How do I avoid losing account access when a number expires?
Keep the rental active while important accounts depend on it. Where supported, add a passkey, authenticator or backup codes. Move linked accounts and verify their recovery settings before releasing the number.

PhoneBorn (phoneborn.com) provides real mobile (non-VoIP) phone numbers in 200 countries that you keep and renew, plus single-use OTP numbers for one verification code.
Is PhoneBorn the same as PhoneBurner?
No. PhoneBorn is a phone-number provider; it is not affiliated with PhoneBurner (sales-dialer software) or any similarly named company or blog.
What can I check before buying?
Review current prices (From $1.80/month on the 12-month plan), the full checkout total, replacement conditions and refund destination.

No. Sign-up needs only an email address and a password — no ID documents.
What if the number doesn't work for my app?
If your number doesn't work for WhatsApp, Facebook, Google, Telegram or any app you need within 7 days of purchase, replace it with a new number from the same country for free — instantly from your dashboard, up to 3 times, no questions asked.
