Where did our own customers' codes actually land?

Every bubble is a country where at least one VSIM order received its code between 31 May 2024 and 11 October 2026; its size is the number of codes. 3,463 codes in all.

1USA2,268 codes
2United Kingdom355 codes
3Canada329 codes

American and Canadian numbers carried most of our history because they worked for the apps our buyers wanted most, WeChat, Fiverr and Telegram. That is a record of the past, not today's odds.

Is my country on sale, and for how many apps?

All 144 countries, alphabetically. Strong apps are those where at least half of recent orders got the code.

What do people ask before choosing a country?

Which country is best for a virtual number?

It depends on the app, not the country alone. A country that delivers WhatsApp codes well can fail for Google. The three route cards on this page show today's best countries for WhatsApp, Telegram and Google, and each country guide lists every app with its live odds.

How many countries does VSIM sell virtual numbers for?

Numbers from 144 countries are on sale today, across 18,981 country and app combinations. 12 countries have ten or more apps delivering 50% or more.

Where did VSIM's own customers get their codes?

Most of our delivered codes landed on American numbers: 2,268 between May 2024 and October 2026, ahead of United Kingdom (355) and Canada (329). The map on this page shows every country where at least one code arrived.

Do I need to live in the country to use its number?

No. You rent the number online and read the code on your VSIM order page from anywhere. Some apps check where you sign in from, so a country close to where you actually are can work better.

What if no code arrives?

The order closes when its timer ends, about 15 minutes in our tests and never more than 20, and the full price returns to your VSIM balance. Then try the next country on the list.

Is a virtual number the same as a local SIM card?

No. A rented number receives one SMS code and is then released. It cannot open your bank, government services or anything tied to your identity, and it does not take calls.

Know the app but not the country?

Start from the app instead: each app guide ranks every country by today's odds for that app.
