What Tiger SMS does
Tiger SMS is a virtual-number provider whose Telegram bot mirrors the full tiger-sms.com service: pick a country and target service, pay a small per-activation fee — the site advertises rates from around 3 cents — and the incoming code lands in the chat within a minute or two on a live SIM rather than a fully synthetic number. Registration only needs an email address, and the company states it refunds you if a code never arrives.
Unusually for this category, Tiger SMS also offers a free tier of public, shared numbers alongside the paid pool. Those free numbers are exactly what they sound like: visible to anyone, reused constantly, and rejected outright by services with stricter anti-fraud checks — useful for low-stakes testing, not for anything you actually care about getting into.
Coverage is broad — the service claims 200+ supported services and 260+ countries with over 100,000 numbers in rotation — and the company discloses a Hong Kong business address, which is at least a concrete point of accountability rather than an anonymous storefront. As with every provider here, treat any number as temporary and shared: it's built for one-time SMS verification, not as a number you can rely on for anything long-term.

FAQ
Are the free numbers actually usable?
For anything that checks carefully, probably not — they're shared publicly and frequently blocked. They're fine for a quick, low-stakes test.
What if the number doesn't receive a code?
Tiger SMS states it refunds you or lets you try another number if the SMS doesn't arrive — check current terms in the bot before relying on this.
