Phone Number Rental API

Rent a stable number for days-to-months and receive its SMS over API the whole time.

The Phone Number Rental API reserves a dedicated number for a fixed period so you can receive repeated inbound SMS on a stable line — for long-running accounts, monitoring, or multi-step verification. Manage rentals, read messages, and extend or release, all via REST.

How it works

1

Rent a number

Create a rental for a country and duration; the number is reserved for you for the whole period.

2

Receive messages over time

Every inbound SMS is available via REST and webhooks for the life of the rental.

3

Extend or release

Prolong the rental before it expires, or let it lapse — all through the API.

Code examples

Rent a number and read its inbound SMS (activation flow shown; rentals expose the same message API).

# 1 — request a number for the service
curl -X POST "https://api.eveses.com/v1/numbers/orders" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVESES_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"service":"any-rental","country":"us"}'
# → { "id":"act_9f2", "number":"+1202555••••", "status":"waiting" }

# 2 — poll for the code (or use a webhook)
curl "https://api.eveses.com/v1/numbers/orders/act_9f2" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $EVESES_API_KEY"
# → { "id":"act_9f2", "status":"received", "code":"483920" }

Pricing

Flat fee per rental period from your wallet; longer periods and volume lower the effective rate.

FAQ

When should I rent instead of activate?›
Rent when you need the same number available over days or weeks for repeated inbound messages; activate for a single one-time code.
Can I extend a rental?›
Yes — call the extend endpoint before expiry to prolong the reservation; you can also release early.
Do I keep the same number the whole time?›
Yes — a rental reserves one dedicated number for the entire period, unlike activations which rotate.
