What AnonymSMS is
AnonymSMS publishes free shared phone numbers whose incoming SMS anyone can read on the site without registering, and rents private numbers on real SIM cards with a private dashboard. The rental FAQ says payment is accepted by debit or credit card, PayPal or cryptocurrency, with prices depending on the country and rental length. The terms offer a refund only if a rented number does not work and are governed by the laws of Georgia, while the privacy policy gives a New York address for the operator. No identity requirement appears in the terms or FAQ.
