A US virtual number is a +1 line you use to receive SMS online. On SMS.Red you can buy a 20-minute OTP for a single code or rent a US line for 12 hours up to 12 months.

## When a US number is the right default

Telegram, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and most English-language apps accept +1. If you are not verifying a country-locked wallet, start here. See [how to choose a country](https://textverified.org/zh/blog/how-to-choose-a-country-for-sms-verification) if the first attempt fails.

## OTP or rental on a US line

Use Verifications for one code. Use New rental if you need the same +1 later. Unlimited Rental is the generic US pool. For a specific app, choose from the service options currently available in the SMS.Red rental catalog.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I call out from a US virtual number on SMS.Red?

No. These products are inbound SMS. They are not a US calling plan.

### Will US banks accept it?

Often no. Consumer apps usually will. If a bank or brokerage rejects the number, use a number those institutions already know.
