sms-activate is closing its business.

So if you have some funds on it(like i do),

You should go and submit a "Withdrawal of funds" request.

I think they moved to a new site, it's linked below the closure notice. I'm yet to try the new site.

Ah yes, was other provider, that's clarified and I had seen that video previously actually.

Which does not change my suggestions on modus operandi in any way btw, I always make sure that I did the best to hide everything, while there's always a bit potential for mistakes, you just do not want to be the low hanging fruit sucker who gets picked up, governments will go for these first, the rest, ifnits nothing previous will be "not worth the effort"

I had the (dis)pleasure on having convos with cops regarding when the state attorneys will green light software like celebxxx and such forensics and boy, that stuff is so expensive, it will not get approved just like that, we're talking about low six digit sums per case in developed countries.

So in this case, if your due diligence was done, just withdraw they funds. If unsure and you've done some catastrophic mistakes when loading the funds and done some dodgy stuff, write it off.

Someone is living in fear eh. I get your suggestions are logical, have good opsec, etc but if you end up shitting your pants almost on a regular basis then maybe you shouldn't do blackhat in the first place.
 
The domain is no longer working. Yesterday I was able to access it - but now DNS doesnt resolve.
Asked Gemini bot about it - and it gave the following info - not sure how far this is true....

Site is still accessible via sms-activate.ru domain.

Perhaps @SmsActivate could tell us why the main domain went down.

You have any ideas on an alternative that is just as good?

Most of the other services claim they provide real sims, meanwhile their numbers are rejected outright.

Many! They all(including sms-activate) resell same pools of providers. Only few of them have their own sim cards.

Few examples: smsMan, smsPool, daisy, smsVerfified, trueverifi, smspinverify, and some more you can read about here

So the examples you listed have their own sim card pools? I wanna check them out.


Checked out the list you sent and some of them are out of service, the rest are shitty providers I tried before finding sms activate.

So you expect me to highlight the best of them for you to increase competition and price for me?

What are these services? I never heard of either.
 
How will this affect mobile proxy farms and the overall use of mobile proxies? Essentially, those who sell mobile proxies in EU also become participants in such activities, right?

I believe that in 2026, this will fundamentally change the industry. It’s possible that proxy providers will start to thoroughly check their clients (with strong KYC) and introduce some restrictions per domains. This is, in principle, the right approach to prevent fraud to some extent.

I know that some people have simply shutdown mobile proxies farms immediately and changed their business model. They started selling eSIMs instead of mobile proxies, especially for travelers.

This is certainly an interesting turn of events towards the end of 2025 and beginning of 2026.
