Number statuses
Numbers in your dashboard show one of these statuses. One-time numbers wait 20 minutes for a code.
- Waiting for code
- You have the number and it's waiting for a code. You can still cancel.
- Code received
- The code arrived. Read and copy it in your dashboard.
- Refunded
- 20 minutes went by without a code, so the price was put back in your balance.
- Canceled
- You canceled before the code arrived and the price returned to your balance.
- Active
- The rental period is running. Every incoming SMS is shown.
- Ended
- The rental period is over. Rent again if you need a number.
