Can't get Google Voice in your country? Get a real number that receives SMS and verification codes worldwide — no US account, no forwarding number. From $0.50.
Google Voice is great — if you're in the United States. Everyone else needs another way to get a real number for SMS and verification.
Google Voice needs a US location and a US forwarding number. An eSIMfly number works from any country — no VPN tricks, no US SIM, no Google account hoops.
Many apps and banks reject Google Voice numbers as "VoIP." Our numbers are real mobile numbers, so they sail through SMS and 2FA verification.
Use a separate number for signups, marketplaces and 2FA so your personal number stays out of databases that get scraped and leaked.
💡 Be clear on what this is. eSIMfly virtual numbers are built to receive SMS and verification codes — the job most people use Google Voice for. They don't place outbound calls or replace a full VoIP calling line. If you need a number to receive texts, OTPs and 2FA worldwide, this does it cheaper and without a US account.
Choose a temporary number from 50+ countries or a permanent UK number in your dashboard.
Enter the number into any service that needs SMS or 2FA verification.
The code appears in your dashboard in seconds. No US phone, no forwarding.
Google Voice only works if you're in the United States with a US-based Google account and a US forwarding number. If you live outside the US - or Google Voice won't let you verify a service - you need another way to get a real number that receives SMS. An eSIMfly virtual number works from anywhere, with no US requirement.
Yes, for the part most people actually need: receiving SMS and 2FA codes. You get a real mobile number, hand it to any service that needs verification, and the code lands in your eSIMfly dashboard within seconds. It keeps your personal number private, just like a Google Voice number would.
No - to be upfront, eSIMfly virtual numbers are for receiving SMS and verification codes, not for placing outbound calls or running a full second phone line. If all you need is a reliable number to receive texts and OTP codes (which is what most Google Voice users actually rely on), this does that cheaper and works worldwide.
For a number you keep and reuse - the closest thing to a Google Voice line - choose the permanent UK SMS eSIM ($8.97/30 days). It receives unlimited SMS in 195 countries and you own it month to month. For a single signup, a temporary number from $0.50 is enough.
Temporary numbers are available from 50+ countries including the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, India and Brazil - useful when a service only accepts a number from a specific region. The permanent number is a UK (+44) number that receives SMS worldwide.
Within seconds in most cases. The number activates instantly after purchase and incoming SMS appear in your dashboard in real time - no app to install, no US phone to forward from.
