Terms of service

tix-sms.com lets you rent a phone number for a short time to receive a verification code sent by a third-party website or app, and shows you that code. Numbers are provided by mobile networks and partners; tix-sms.com does not own them and cannot promise that a given site will accept a given number.

The Service receives text messages only. It does not place or receive calls and does not offer long-term numbers.

You need an account to rent numbers: an email address and a password. One account per person. You must be at least 18 and able to enter a binding agreement where you live.

You are responsible for everything done with your account. Keep your password private and turn on two-factor authentication from the Account page if you want extra protection.

Renting and topping up open once you have confirmed your email address through the link we send. We use that address to help you recover your account and to tell you about changes to your account; we do not send marketing.

The Service works on a prepaid balance in US dollars. You top it up in crypto from the Balance page (minimum $5). The dollar value that arrives is credited; network fees are yours.

The balance never expires. It is not paid back out in money or crypto, except to correct an error on our side, through support.

A rental gives you one number for one site, for the hold time shown before you confirm (10–30 min depending on the site). The price is charged to your balance when the number is assigned.

If no SMS reaches the number during the hold time, the price is credited back automatically. You may also cancel a number yourself 1 min after renting it, as long as no code has arrived. Details are in the refund policy.

A number may be offered again after its rental (“Same number again”) when the network allows it. This is a new rental, charged at the price shown; it is not guaranteed.

Prices are shown in US dollars before every charge and can change at any time, including between the moment a price is shown and the moment you confirm: in that case nothing is charged and you are asked to confirm the new price.

Refunds go to your balance, not to a wallet. What is refunded and what is not is set out in the refund policy, which is part of these terms.

You may use the numbers only in the ways described in the acceptable use policy. Using the Service for fraud, impersonation, harassment or any unlawful purpose is forbidden and ends your access.

The sites and apps you verify with are not ours. They may refuse a number, block an account or change their rules at any time; that is outside our control and not a reason for a refund once a code has been delivered. Using a number with a third party is subject to that third party's terms.

We work to keep the Service available, but it may be interrupted for maintenance, by our partners, or by events we do not control. Numbers may be out of stock. We do not promise any particular delivery rate.

We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms or the acceptable use policy, or that we reasonably believe is used for abuse or fraud. In case of abuse, the remaining balance is forfeited.

You can delete your account at any time from the Account page. The remaining balance is forfeited; rental records are kept as described in the privacy policy.

The Service is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, our liability for any claim related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid to tix-sms.com in the thirty days before the claim. We are not liable for indirect losses, for the actions of third-party sites, or for funds sent to a wrong address, coin or network.

We may update these terms. The date and version at the top tell you when. If a change matters, we show it on the site or email you. Using the Service after a change means you accept it.

Questions about these terms: support@tix-sms.com, or the support page. These terms, with the acceptable use, refund and privacy policies, are the whole agreement between you and tix-sms.com about the Service.
