What SMSPool is

SMSPool sells temporary and rental phone numbers for receiving SMS verification codes across many countries and online services. Third-party listings describe it as supporting cards, cryptocurrency and other payment methods without requiring personal information. The official site presented an anti-bot challenge during this review, so its current payment options, prices, account requirements and terms were not read directly, and the details here rely on secondary sources.

Policy change

Reported end of direct Monero payments, citing EU rules

The public event log of the directory kycnot.me recorded on 24 July 2026 that SMSPool said it could no longer accept Monero directly, citing the EU's MiCA and incoming anti-money-laundering requirements, and that Monero remained available through its official resellers. The official site could not be read during this review because of an anti-bot challenge, so the current list of accepted payment methods was not confirmed first-hand.
