Understanding Number Status
Virtual phone numbers may become temporarily inactive for various reasons. Understanding these statuses helps you choose the best numbers for your verification needs.
Why Numbers Become Inactive:
- Maintenance Cycles: Numbers undergo periodic maintenance to ensure optimal performance
- Carrier Updates: Changes in carrier services may temporarily affect number availability
- Usage Limits: High-traffic numbers may be rotated to prevent overload
- Quality Control: Numbers with delivery issues are removed for troubleshooting
- Scheduled Rotation: Regular number pool updates to maintain service quality
What This Means for You:
If a number you were using becomes inactive, simply select another number from our active pool. Inactive numbers are typically restored within 24-48 hours, or replaced with new numbers. We continuously monitor and update our number database to ensure maximum availability.
Finding Active Numbers
While some numbers may be temporarily unavailable, we maintain a large pool of active virtual numbers across 50+ countries. Here's how to find working numbers:
- Browse by Country: Visit our Countries page to see all available numbers organized by location
- Check Active Status: Numbers listed on our main pages are currently active and ready to use
- Try Multiple Numbers: If one number doesn't work, simply try another from the same country
- Check Back Later: Inactive numbers are often restored within 24-48 hours
Best Practices:
- Always verify a number is active before using it for important verifications
