Big news, and a new name: AnonymSMS is now asms.ai.
Same team. The same reliable numbers we have run since 2018. But rebuilt from the ground up for a world where it is not only people signing up for apps anymore: it is scripts, workflows, and AI agents doing it too.
The .ai is not decoration, it is the whole point. asms.ai gives an AI agent its own phone number and lets it receive verification codes on its own, through a clean REST API and a native MCP server. Here is what changed, what stayed the same, and where we are taking it.
Same service, new name
For years, AnonymSMS did one thing well: give you a free, temporary phone number so you could receive a verification code without handing over your real one.
That is not going anywhere. The free shared numbers are still free. The numbers you rely on are the same numbers. We simply outgrew the old name.
asms.ai says where the product is going (fast, modern, and built for the AI era) while staying the simple, free tool you already know.
Everything you already love is still here
Nothing you depended on went away. If anything, there is more of it:
- Free shared numbers: pick one, receive your code, done. No signup, no SIM, no cost.
- Private numbers: dedicated to you, with an inbox only you can see, for the accounts that actually matter.
- Pay-per-code: need just one code? Pay for that one code, nothing more.
- Automatic refunds: if a paid code never arrives, you are refunded automatically. You only pay for codes that land.
- More countries: numbers across the US, UK, Germany, Georgia, Ukraine, the Netherlands and more, added regularly.
Built for AI agents, not just people
This is the big shift, and the reason for the new name. Verifying a phone number used to be something only a human did, clicking through a signup form. Now AI agents and automated workflows need to do it too, and almost nothing out there was built for them.
asms.ai is. Give your AI agent its own phone number and it can receive an SMS verification code on its own: request the number, wait for the code, read it, and finish the signup with no human in the loop.
It runs on two things built for machines, not just browsers:
- A native MCP server (Model Context Protocol), the standard AI agents use to call real tools. Drop the config into Claude, Cursor, or your own agent and SMS verification becomes a tool it can use.
- A clean REST API for any script or backend that would rather call HTTP directly.
The MCP server exposes the whole flow as agent tools:
get_balance,get_pricing,get_inventory: see what's available and what it costscreate_otp_order,poll_sms: request a number and read the code as it arriveslist_active_orders,cancel_order: manage everything in flight
Whether you are building an agent that signs itself up for services, a testing bot that needs fresh accounts, or an automated onboarding flow, asms.ai is the phone-verification layer for agentic software.
The 100x under the hood
We did not just rename the site: we rebuilt it completely.
- Speed: the old site ran on aging WordPress. Pages that used to take seconds now load in well under one, and the number inbox refreshes live.
- A modern core: rebuilt on a fast, modern stack, so new features ship in days, not months.
- API-first: every capability the website has, the API and MCP server have too. One key, one wallet, everything in one place.
- Reliability: automatic refunds, a real wallet ledger, and a clean record of every number and message.
Same simple product on the surface. A completely different engine underneath.
Why asms.ai, and not another SMS site
Temporary-number sites come and go. Plenty vanish overnight and take your balance with them. asms.ai is built to be the one that stays:
- Online since 2018. We have run continuously for years while others disappeared. Your balance, your history, and your numbers are safe with a funded company that is not going anywhere.
- Never resold. Many services quietly resell the same numbers across a dozen brands, which is why your code sometimes never comes or the account gets flagged. Our private numbers are dedicated to you, not passed around.
- Genuinely competitive prices. Pay per code, only for the codes that actually land, at prices that beat the resellers.
- Reliable by design. Real carrier numbers, live inboxes, and automatic refunds the moment a paid code does not arrive.
Your account came with you
If you had an AnonymSMS account, you do not need to do anything.
Every account, and every wallet balance, carried over to asms.ai untouched. Your old login still works, and your balance is exactly where you left it.
What's coming next
The rebrand is the start, not the finish. Here is where we are heading:
- More numbers, more countries: a bigger pool and broader coverage, added continuously.
- More ways to pay: including crypto, so you can top up however you like.
- Deeper agent tooling: richer MCP tools and workflows as agents take on more real-world tasks.
- More languages: the site and docs in more languages for a global audience.
- New tools beyond SMS: verification is the first tool in a growing, agent-native toolkit. More are on the way.
