Well, since I can't have a free trial balance (need 15 posts to start a PM to send account address, tried to follow this post instruction, https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/smsinbox-net-sim-cards-for-sms-verification-180-countries-long-term-rental.1816851/post-20769201 got warned by Forum Moderator for posting email)
I decided to deposit $1 of crypto for review. To be fair, there's a lot to like from this panel.
- Low minimum deposit $1 at this point. Payment gateway is Cryptomus, which mean you can use Monero/XMR for added privacy.
Not sure what happens but if I deposit $1, I will credited $0.99 of balance.

- You can delete your account! I never saw a panel that does this. Good job!
The support of 2FA TOTP is great.
Also you can change your email, which I know some SMS OTP panel don't have that feature.
Of course by deleting the account you disown/lose the balance.
You delete the account by entering the currently registered email into a confirmation box that appears below the second image notice.View attachment 524724View attachment 524725
- After you select the combination of service and country, you can select a list of offer price. If you select longer periods, you can even select the operator, what's not to like?

- There's an all access option. I suppose this is for you who wants to verify a service not listed on your own, without bothering the panel's support team.

Now. The bad things.
- There's an instance I get billed, but no OTP ever came. See picture. It's the item highlighted in green. Notice that "SMS codes" are empty. Which will lead to the next point.
To be fair, once the rental duration expired, I get refunded. This indicates a bug in the panel's source code. (I can't attach any more images, I will post them in the next post. Staff moderators: I am not trying to artificially inflate my post count, I swear. I am not trying to break the rules, but for clarity, I need to make another post to house the image I am to post)

- Of course with SMS OTP panels, when you "buy" or reserve a number for receiving OTP, the panel will earmark the balance as "reserved balance".
However you can only cancel/return/unreserve the number after 2 minutes 15 seconds for 20 minutes rental duration.
The problem is that with such low testing balance, and considering the scenario that will happen below, it's often I need to wait (because no unreserved/free balance left) until a number can be cancelled, which returns my free balance, because the phone numbers are unusable, which I will describe on the next post.
TL;DR can't cancel number until 2 minutes. sometimes with low chance of SMS OTP verification succeeding, you are stuck waiting until the number gets eligible to be returned/canceled.
- I think this is because the country I am verifying is considering a high-risk country of abuse. I was verifying this with an actual device, a spare one I've got handy, with an actual 4G connection/SIM card sourced by myself.
I cannot verify any of the number, no matter what offer (cheap or expensive), duration of rent, nor operator choice when available.
The service will not send SMS whatever the number I bought.
- It will refuse to send your SMS OTP (sorry, verification not available at this point, which only cleared once I pick another number)
- Only allows automatic verification, like Twilio's Silent Network Auth https://www.twilio.com/docs/verify/sna, or a flash call verification
- or a phone call with a machine on the other end that pronounces the OTP. Which this service doesn't seem to support.
- Or the phone number is currently used, which I rather not steal other people's account.
- Or the number associated with the account is currently banned.
I have tried like 20 numbers at this point. None works.
Now, my verdict?
I think this panel software (account deletion support, 2FA TOTP) is very great. But are marred with poor SMS number supply.
From someone who only needs to receive one phone number for verification (e.g. privacy enthusiasts), the low minimum top-up might be tempting, however maybe something like a Bitcoin Lighting Hold Invoices would be better. Only one SMS OTP service that I know which does that, which is https://sms4sats.com/
However I know the value proposition for this SMS OTP panel is different (this is a Internet Marketing forum, not a Privacy Enthusiast forum)
Now, of course if the SMS OTP panel operator would like to refund my deposit, it would be a very great goodwill gesture.
