How usage and renewal work
Basic: Number rental only; no minutes or SMS included. Calls: $0.03 per started connected minute. Incoming/outgoing SMS: $0.02 per segment, paid from prepaid credit.
Premium: Includes 100 call minutes and 100 SMS segments per paid billing month. Incoming and outgoing usage share these allowances. Allowances reset on your monthly billing date; unused allowances do not roll over. Extra usage: $0.03 per started connected minute and $0.02 per SMS segment, paid from prepaid credit.
Calls round up to whole connected minutes: 61 seconds uses 2 minutes. Phone-verification calls also use minutes. A long SMS or a message with emojis may use several segments.
Cancel renewal to keep your number through the paid period. Your private dashboard shows your remaining allowances and prepaid credit.
Using 100 minutes + 100 SMS segments? Premium saves $1.00/month: $6.99 instead of $7.99 on Basic. Any registration fees are separate.

A LITTLE CLARITY
What can I do on 26sim?
Explore country calling codes, learn how virtual numbers work and compare temporary SMS with monthly rentals. Contact support with your country and intended use for information about number options.
Can I buy a number online?
Open online ordering to view available offers and pay securely through Stripe. Monthly numbers renew automatically until cancellation. Offers appear only after supplier availability and terms are configured. An inquiry does not reserve a number, start a subscription or create a charge.
Is a virtual number the same as an eSIM?
No. A virtual number handles supported calls or messages through a provider. It does not, by itself, supply mobile data or roaming.
Temporary SMS or a monthly number?
Temporary SMS is intended for a short receiving window. Monthly rental is the option to compare for ongoing contact. Confirm the exact features, costs and renewal terms before choosing a provider.
Will a number work with every app?
Acceptance varies by app, provider and number type. A country calling code does not guarantee acceptance. Use numbers only for accounts you own or are authorized to manage.
How do I ask about a country?
Select the country and number type below, then choose Email your inquiry. Your email app opens with those details filled in; you decide when to send it. You can also email support@26sim.com directly.
