Questions
Can I use my 5sim scripts with this site?
If your tool speaks the sms-activate protocol (getNumber, getStatus, setStatus), yes: change the base URL and the API key. SMSRota also has a JSON API and webhooks for new integrations.
What happens if the code never arrives?
Nothing is charged. The price is held when you buy and goes back to your balance automatically after 20 minutes without a code. You can also cancel after two minutes.
