What readynum is — and what it refuses to print

The short version

readynum rents temporary phone numbers you use once: pick a service and a country, see the price and everything we actually know about that route, pay per code, read the SMS, done. If no valid code arrives, the order refunds itself. That part is table stakes. The part the site is actually built around is what happens to the numbers on the page.

Three states. There is no fourth.

Every success figure on this site is in exactly one of three states. Measured means it comes from our own completed orders, and it never renders without the sample size and the time window sitting right next to it. Supplier-reported means a named supplier gave us the figure: we pass it through in an outlined, uncoloured chip with the supplier's name and a timestamp, because it is their measurement, not ours. And where we have neither, the page says, verbatim: “We don't have data for this route yet”. Never a dash, never an N/A, never a hopeful zero — a sentence.

Every success rate on this site is either measured from our own orders — shown with the sample size and the time window — or a named supplier's figure we pass through and label as theirs. Where we have neither, we say so. We never show a number we can't source.

What we promise, in order

The order matters. It is the order we think you should judge any site in this category by.

1. Honest success data.Measured from our own orders wherever we have them, labelled by source everywhere else, and an honest sentence where we have nothing.
2. Public prices, tiny minimum.Every per-route price is public before you sign up. Minimum deposit never exceeds the price of one order. Your balance never expires.
3. Stock honesty.Stock is a yes or a no, never a count — and when ordering opens, anything shown in stock is buyable.Availability is a yes or a no — we never print a stock count, ours or a supplier's.
4. Auto-refund.If a code doesn't arrive, you don't pay. Deliberately last on this list: a refund is hygiene, not a headline.

Where we are, honestly

• Pre-launch. Live ordering isn't open yet. The forms on this site collect an email address so we can tell you when it is — and that is all they collect.
• Most routes say “We don't have data for this route yet”. That is the designed launch state, not a gap we forgot to fill. The columns fill from real orders, at real-order speed, because the alternative — seeding them with numbers we made up — is exactly what we built this site against.
• readynum is a working title. The brand name and the domain are not final and may change before launch.
• No padding. You won't find a team grid, office photos, or a founding story on this page yet. We'd rather ship an empty section than an invented one — it's the same rule the success rates live by.
