Help choosing a service
Which service should I choose for calls, texts or both?
Choose Call for voice conversations, SMS for text messages, or Calls + SMS to use one number for both. The comparison above shows the incoming, outgoing and routing features of each service.
How do WhatsApp SIM and Trash SIM differ from regular numbers?
WhatsApp SIM focuses on receiving SMS and calls for the verification steps described in its guide. Trash SIM is an option for temporary incoming messages and calls. SMS adds outgoing texts; Calls + SMS adds outgoing calls as well. WhatsApp chats stay in WhatsApp.
How should I choose a country for my number?
Start with the country code your contacts expect or the country requested by the service you use. Then compare the available number types, supported features and requirements. A number's country code does not change when you access Blacktel from another country.
What does the number rental price include?
Rental keeps the number assigned to your account for the chosen period; calls, messages and forwarding have their own usage rates. Prepaid numbers need manual renewal, while subscriptions renew from your Blacktel credit balance. Check the selected number's price and keep enough credit for renewal and use.
Will I need identity documents or an address?
Requirements depend on the country, number type and intended use. Some offers need no personal identity-document uploads; others need an address or an approved identity or business profile. Check the selected number's requirements and complete any required review before purchase.
How does a virtual number differ from a SIM or data eSIM?
A virtual number handles the listed calls or SMS in your account. A physical SIM or mobile eSIM connects a device to a mobile network; a data eSIM provides mobile internet. Compare each product's listed call, SMS and data features when choosing.
How do I get and activate a virtual phone number online?
Choose a service and country, compare the available numbers and sign in to Blacktel. Check the selected number's requirements and complete any needed address or identity review before purchase. Then choose its rental plan and confirm with your account credit; manage the active number in your account.
Can I manage several virtual numbers in one account?
Yes. Add the numbers you need and manage them from the same Blacktel account. Each number has its own service, settings and rental plan; renewal and usage charges come from the shared account credit balance.
