When you need a Korean phone number abroad
Korean services like KakaoTalk, Naver and Coupang send a verification SMS to a Korean mobile number (+82 10) at sign-up. Foreigners who do not live in Korea, overseas Koreans, foreign companies and sellers entering the Korean market, and travelers setting up apps before a trip get stuck here without a Korean SIM card.
010SMS rents you a Korean 010 mobile number online instantly and shows the verification codes sent to it on your screen. Use it from any country, with no Korean SIM card, Korean bank card or Korean address.
What is a Korean 010 virtual number?
All Korean mobile numbers start with 010. 010SMS numbers use the real Korean mobile format (+82 10 XXXX XXXX), so you can enter them as is on Korean sign-up screens.
From the moment you buy it, the number is shown on your account screen for 20 minutes, and verification SMS sent in that time appear right next to it. If not a single code arrives, the number price is refunded to your credit automatically.
Which services use a Korean number?
The most popular are KakaoTalk, Naver and Telegram. People also use it to sign up with a Korean number for Korean shopping apps like Coupang, Kurly and Zigzag, and global services like WhatsApp, Google, Instagram, ChatGPT, Discord and Steam. Codes are available for 32 services right now.
What verification can I use it for?
010SMS numbers are for receiving verification codes sent by SMS. They cannot be used for checks that need a Korean identity, such as Korean carrier identity verification (PASS) or real-name verification, so services that require those checks are not listed.
Is Korean number verification safe?
010SMS stores account tokens only as hashes, and the verification codes you receive are shown only in your account. We never ask for your real name, passport number or card number, and top-ups are crypto only, so no personal data is left behind.
Virtual numbers are for sign-up verification. They may not be used to deceive others or break the law, and accounts found doing so will be suspended.
Top up from any country
Credit is topped up with 12 cryptocurrencies including USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL, and LTC. No Korean payment methods needed, minimum top-up is $25. Credit is deducted when purchasing numbers and refunded if no code arrives.
Connect automatically with the API
For sign-up software or bots, the API automates buying numbers, checking codes and cancelling. It uses the handler_api format common to SMS verification APIs, so you only change the URL and key to connect.
