Phone numbers by country

Questions

• Which country should I pick?

  Usually the cheapest one that's in stock for your service — most services don't care where the number is from, only that it can receive the code. Acceptance does vary by route, though, which is why each route page tells you what we know about that exact service-and-country pair instead of a site-wide average.

  If the service you're verifying restricts signups by region, pick the country that matches the account you're creating.

• Why doesn't this page show success rates?

  Because success belongs to a route — a service × country pair — not to a country. A country-level figure would blend routes that behave nothing alike, and a blended number is a claim we can't stand behind.

  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 does “In stock” mean on a country card?

  That at least one service is buyable for that country this minute — and the “from” price is the cheapest route you can actually buy, never a sticker price for something that's out of stock.

  Stock is a yes or a no, never a count — and when ordering opens, anything shown in stock is buyable.
