Questions and answers
Can I send texts or make calls?
GimmeSMS numbers receive text messages only.
What happens when my hour is up?
The number stops receiving messages for you. Texts that arrived during your rental stay visible in your history.
Will someone else get my number later?
Yes. After a cooldown period a number can be rented by another customer, so please don't use a rented number for anything you need to keep or recover later, such as a bank or email account.
Is anything not allowed?
GimmeSMS is for privacy and testing. Bulk account creation, fraud, spam and similar uses are not allowed. Read the acceptable use policy.
How do refunds work?
Credit never expires. If a number never receives anything because of a problem on our side, contact us and we'll return the credit.
