Pay for Numgo

Numgo prices numbers per country and per month, in US dollars. On numgo.io (checked 2026-09-21) a UK, US or Canadian number is listed at $7 for one month; on the UK page, 12 months cost $67.20 instead of $84, a 20% discount — which is where the app listing’s “from $5.60/month” comes from. Other countries cost more: from $9 for Estonia and Czechia, $10 for Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden and Lithuania, $12 for Australia, $20 for Switzerland, $25 for Denmark and Hong Kong, $30 for Thailand and $60 for Italy. Travel eSIM data starts at $4 per package in popular destinations such as the UK, the US, the UAE, Turkey and much of Europe. On top of the rental, incoming and outgoing SMS and calls are billed per message and per minute, at rates shown on the order page.

Numgo runs on an account balance. You top up the balance — the minimum top-up is $5 and the maximum $3,600 — and number rentals, SMS, calls and eSIM plans are paid from it. If a payment is smaller than $5, Numgo still charges $5 and leaves the rest on your balance. Buying a number for a chosen period is a one-time purchase, not a card subscription. When the period ends, the number renews month by month from your Numgo balance if auto-renewal is on and the balance covers it. Numgo warns you three days before expiry; an expired number can be restored within 10 days, after which it may be gone for good.

Where you pay matters. The route we tested is a direct card payment to Numgo: sign in on numgo.io, choose Add Funds or buy a number, and enter the Mehbit card. The charge appears on the card statement as NUMGO LLP. Tested with a real Mehbit card — the payment went through. The Numgo apps also offer in-app purchases. On iPhone, App Store payments generally work with Mehbit cards, but they are billed by Apple, not by Numgo. On Android, avoid paying through Google Play: Google Play in-app payment is not reliable with Mehbit cards. Your balance is shared between the website and the apps, so the simplest approach is to top up on numgo.io and use the number in the app.

Be realistic about verification codes. Numgo says plainly that it cannot guarantee delivery of one-time codes (OTP) from other services, that some websites and banks refuse virtual numbers, and that a number may have been used by someone else before. It lists platforms it supports — Apple, Google, WhatsApp, Telegram, PayPal, Wise, Revolut, OpenAI and others — but says the list is no guarantee, and a code that never arrives is not grounds for a refund. Once a number is rented and activated it is non-refundable; a number that is defective right after activation can be reported within 24 hours. Top-up money you have not spent can be refunded within 14 days, but not a partly used balance. eSIMs work only on unlocked phones, install once on a single device and activate when they first connect to a network.

One restriction matters for readers in Iran. Numgo says it does not deliver calls or SMS to numbers in countries under international sanctions, naming Iran and North Korea, so you cannot use a Numgo number to call or text Iranian numbers. We also did not see Iran among its eSIM destinations. Outgoing SMS to US, Vietnamese and Philippine numbers and outgoing calls to China are unavailable at the moment too, and emergency numbers cannot be called.
