I need to be able to send and receive SMS also

Textnow is VOIP based so no go.

I tried many other apps but they were either VOIP based and/or can not reply to SMS

Any suggestions?
 
For real SMS (not VOIP), you might want to try services like Google Voice or Twilio. They let you send and receive texts with real phone numbers. Hope that helps!
 
When I choose a google voice number, it is asking me to verify it
But when I enter my phone number to verify, it says "This phone number can't be used to sign up for a Google Voice number. Try verifying with another number."
 
I’ve had to deal with this before too, and the best luck I’ve had was with Textverified — their numbers are non-VoIP and usually work fine for most verifications. I’ve also seen people mention Non-Voip.com as a solid option, but I haven’t used them personally. It might cost a bit more than VoIP, but way fewer headaches down the line
 
To be more clear, I need a new US based non-VOIP number once a week. I want to be able to reply back to SMS

What would be the cheapest solution?

I’d look into prepaid SIMs like Tello or Mint Mobile. They’re pretty cheap — around $5–10 a month — and you can just rotate them weekly. More reliable than using a service every time, and you get full control over sending/receiving messages. Might take a bit more setup at first, but saves money in the long run.
 
Yeah, most free/cheap apps are VOIP - they work fine for signup verifications but not for 2-way texting. if you need real send/receive SMS, your best bet is getting a prepaid SIM from something like Tello, US Mobile, or Mint Mobile. those give you real mobile numbers, not VOIP.
 
I found sideline

https://www.sideline.com/

They provide non VOIP number for $1 and I can receive and send text message. I need a fresh new number every week so I will open another account every week with a different email address. Problem solved

Incase you guys are wondering, this is to get a discount code from a website. They only send the code to new phone numbers and they want you to reply to the message to get the code
 
No, SMSPool does not support sending SMS messages or replying to received messages.

Hi man, how did you successfully create a sideline account? I'm not resident in the US. Please how can I make this work?
I work remote and a gig demands I have a reachable US line
 
  • Mobile Carrier SIM card — the most straightforward non-VOIP option. You get a real mobile phone number from carriers like Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile.
  • Landline number from traditional phone providers (e.g., AT&T, Spectrum). These are physical, non-VOIP numbers tied to a physical phone line.
  • Non-VOIP virtual numbers — less common, but some services offer “mobile” numbers that aren’t VOIP-based (but might be expensive).
 
I'm trying Zadarma, very complicated to setup due a lot of verification, and I don't know if it is Voip but now SMS send and receive it's working for me, I use this number to Shopify, Stripe and some virtual banks.

Hi, did you get sms activated on your first month? There's a mention in their websites stating that one need to have number for 3 months before activating sms, it's confusing. I'm looking to use it for Stripe as well
 
TextNow and similar apps gave me trouble too. Ended up using CallMantra instead. Works like a normal number, so SMS delivery and replies actually go through.
