Receive SMS online with an API
How to receive SMS messages online programmatically — temporary numbers, an OTP read endpoint, webhooks, and pay-per-code pricing.
"Receive SMS online" usually means: get a temporary number, then read the incoming message — without a SIM card. With an API you can do this at scale.
The flow
# 1. get a number
curl -X POST https://api.eveses.com/api/v1/numbers/orders \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY" \
-d '{"country":"us","mode":"activation","service":"telegram"}'
# 2. read the message
curl https://api.eveses.com/api/v1/numbers/orders/ord_91f3/sms \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $KEY"
For longer-lived needs, use mode: "rent" to hold a number and receive multiple messages over a window.
Why API over a public inbox
Public "receive SMS online" sites share numbers — codes leak and they're often blocked. A private number from the API is yours for the order, with webhooks, refunds, and 190+ countries.
