GotSMS vs. TextVerified
A reasonable US-only alternative, but doesn't solve the core VoIP-detection problem — it's still a virtual number.
GotSMS
- Every line is a dedicated physical carrier connection, never shared
- Self-service Refund button — no support ticket, available for 24 hours after purchase if no SMS arrives
- Full REST API for CI/CD and automation workflows
From $1.00/day, tiered rentals up to 1 year
TextVerified
- Clean, modern dashboard
- Decent US coverage
- Fast checkout
- Very limited coverage outside the US
- Still virtual-range inventory — same carrier-lookup rejection risk
- No dedicated multi-month rental tier
From $0.20-$1.00/activation
