VirtualSMS

What is VirtualSIM

VirtualSIM (virtualsim.net) is a remote SMS verification service established in Ukraine in 2014. It leases physical SIM cards-rather than VoIP numbers-to users who need phone numbers for account verification across web services. As of 2026-05-30, the service operates dedicated and shared SIM infrastructure with numbers from Austria, Czechia, Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Ireland, Latvia, Morocco, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and others.

The platform targets privacy-conscious users, internet marketers, and those needing country-specific numbers to access geo-restricted services. Unlike disposable SMS services that rotate numbers automatically, VirtualSIM emphasizes dedicated SIM control through a web panel, with some tiers offering API and Telegram bot integration.

How no-KYC is it?

VirtualSIM does not require government-issued ID, selfie verification, or legal-name registration. Account creation needs only a self-chosen username and password; email and messenger addresses are optional. The privacy policy explicitly states collected data is limited to account credentials, service usage logs, payment transaction information, and technical data like IP addresses. No phone number or physical address is required to sign up.

This places VirtualSIM in the "no-KYC" category, though users should note the service does log IP addresses and browser fingerprints for "performance and security." The operator-driven allocation model for some tiers means human staff handle number assignments, creating a small trust surface that pure automated platforms avoid.

Privacy & security

The privacy policy, last updated November 7, 2025, disclaims advertising use of data and pledges not to sell user information. Cookies are limited to essential session state; Google CAPTCHA appears only on the feedback page. Data retention is framed as limited to operational and legal necessity.

Security measures described are generic-"industry-standard encryption and access control"-with no specifics on encryption at rest, server jurisdiction, or SIM hardware security. The service warns users to secure their own credentials. Notably absent: Tor support, .onion access, or explicit guarantees against law enforcement data requests. The Ukrainian origin and Russia-facing service offerings may carry geopolitical risk factors some users will weigh.

Payments, fees & limits

VirtualSIM accepts cryptocurrency payments with automatic confirmation for BTC, LTC, and DASH; other coins may require manual operator confirmation. Pricing spans four main tiers:

• Extended24: $20/month, 24/7 automated access, dedicated SIM, panel-controlled
• Automatic: $30/month, always-on cellular connectivity, real-time SMS via panel/Telegram/API
• Dedicated: $36+/year, operator-served during business hours (10-18 GMT, Saturday 14-18), any service supported
• Ordinal: $6+/year, shared SIM, limited to "ordinal" services, half-price for additional numbers

Country premiums apply: Russia costs $50/month under Extended24 versus $20-30 for most European countries. The UK, Malta, and Austria also carry surcharges. One-time and business plans exist but pricing is sparse in the crawl. Refunds are granted for non-delivery or technical failure per the terms of service.

User experience & support

The interface is functional but dated. Number allocation requires checking operator availability; status messages display queue lengths (e.g., "WAIT 3303" for full service). Support channels include chat during business hours, tickets, and a guestbook with sporadic positive feedback. Recent entries from May 2026 praise support quality and Telegram registration features.

Access methods vary by tier: basic panel viewing, Telegram bot (marked "under construction" in FAQ), and URL/API for Automatic plans. The service explicitly warns of worktime restrictions and does not guarantee uptime. New users face a learning curve understanding the distinction between automated and operator-served tiers.

Who it's for

VirtualSIM suits users needing persistent, dedicated numbers for specific platforms rather than one-off disposable verifications. The yearly Dedicated and Ordinal tiers offer cost-effective long-term holding. Crypto-native privacy seekers will appreciate the automatic BTC/LTC/DASH pipeline, though those requiring instant 24/7 service must pay the Extended24 or Automatic premiums. Users verifying high-risk platforms like Telegram, WhatsApp, or financial services may benefit from the physical SIM advantage over VoIP-blocked numbers.

Competitors like VirtSMS or SMS-Activate offer broader country coverage and lower per-activation pricing, but VirtualSIM's dedicated SIM model and established 2014 track record differentiate it for users prioritizing number persistence over volume.
