Why Use a Canada Virtual Number?
About Virtual Numbers in Canada
A Canada phone number from VirtSMS is a real Canadian mobile line you use to receive SMS codes, without a Canadian SIM or a contract. You pick one, the code lands in the app, and you enter it to verify your account. People call it a Canada phone number, a Canadian phone number, or just a Canada number, but it's the same +1 Canadian line whatever the label.
That +1 is shared with the United States, so the detail that makes this a genuinely Canadian number is the area code. Our Canada numbers carry real Canadian codes like 416 and 647 for Toronto, 604 for Vancouver, or 514 for Montreal, on the main carriers, Rogers, Bell and Telus. A service that checks where a number is registered sees Canada, not the US, which is what you want when a signup expects a Canadian contact.
These are numbers on real Canadian networks, not internet-only VoIP lines. That matters, because services like WhatsApp, Instagram and Telegram block known VoIP ranges, so a VoIP number fails verification while a real mobile number gets through. A free public Canadian number from a shared-inbox site is used by hundreds of strangers and usually already burned, which is why those almost never verify anything.
Most people get a Canadian number for one particular account. The usual targets are WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Google and Gmail, Facebook, Apple ID, and seller or marketplace accounts that expect a Canadian-based contact. It works for messaging, social and email signups, the everyday jobs of an SMS verification service. It works poorly for strict financial checks: Canadian banks, PayPal and most regulated crypto exchanges run hard identity verification and reject virtual numbers, so we'll say that up front rather than sell you a code that won't stick.
The typical buyer is someone outside Canada who needs a Canadian line. A developer testing a signup. A marketer running accounts there. A seller who needs a local presence. An expat keeping access to a service that's Canada-only. Or anyone who would rather not attach their personal number to one more app. You don't need a Canadian address, proof of residence, or a bank account to get one.
Pricing starts at $0.30 for a one-time Canada number, and you pay only for what you use, in crypto. New accounts get $0.25 in credit, enough for a first verification or two before you spend anything real. To buy one, choose the service you're verifying, then watch for the code in your dashboard; you can check live pricing first, or read how to buy a virtual phone number if it's new to you. If you only need it once, a temporary phone number covers a single verification; if you need the same Canadian line for days or weeks, you can rent one from $1.50.
Codes usually arrive in five to thirty seconds, though it depends on the service and the carrier, so the odd one is slower. Across our Canada numbers the delivery success rate sits near 96%, and if a code doesn't arrive within 20 minutes the activation auto-refunds to your balance, so a dead number costs you nothing. You can receive the SMS online straight from your dashboard on any device, and browse all supported services to see what else it covers.
