SMSTEMPO / REFERENCE
Read the offer before you order
A current price and stock tell you what may be ordered now. They cannot tell you whether an outside platform will accept the assigned number.
Keep the live offer and the outside platform's requirements in view before you confirm.
1. Match the country to the outside form
Start with the country or calling code the sending platform requires. A different country can be unsuitable even if its current stock looks better. Check the code beside the chosen country and use the platform's own form and help information when its rule is unclear.
A country name in the directory does not mean a number is available at this moment. The live offer must confirm stock for the specific country and service pair.
2. Check the service label and its rules
Select the service for the intended SMS task. The label helps SMSTempo request a matching offer; it is not independent verification that the outside platform accepts every supplied number. Some services restrict VoIP, disposable or already-associated numbers. If the platform requires a mobile number or future access to the same line, read its current policy before deciding.
Do not infer a number's technical type from the phrase virtual number. If a live offer does not specify the type, treat it as unknown.
3. Compare the actual USD charge
The live offer shows the current order price when confirmed. Review it again at the confirmation step because stock and price can change while you browse. A $20 minimum crypto top-up is an account deposit, not the price of the selected number. The order charge comes from the specific offer and uses confirmed account balance.
An invoice, address or QR does not add balance by itself. A top-up becomes spendable only after payment confirmation. Keep the payment invoice's 15-minute USD quote separate from the later SMS order.
4. Read availability as a current snapshot
A positive stock indication means a supplier has reported an option for this pair. It does not reserve an individual number. Assignment may still fail after you confirm, in which case the recorded order and balance history explain the outcome. An unknown stock value should remain unknown; a directory entry alone is not enough to place a purchase.
Availability also says nothing about the outside platform's acceptance. It can refuse an assigned number or never send a message.
5. Know what the order can show afterward
Once a number is assigned, the order shows its exact expiry. That is the authoritative SMS window; no exact expiry is promised on the preconfirmation catalogue view. Watch the SMS tab for a message and read the displayed cancellation action if none arrives while the order is waiting.
An eligible cancellation before the first SMS returns the activation charge once to account balance. An unanswered expiry may also be credited according to the server policy. Neither event automatically means an external crypto refund. A received SMS ends the no-message cancellation entitlement.
