The service itself is good
The service itself is good, I use it with good software for telegram. Discounts are very large if you work exactly. Retail prices are average. The new feature free price also helps. I plan to stay and further on sms-activate, the main things prices keep that to do not fly away and so everything is fine.

A Major Issue In SMS Active
The services of this App are average not good not bad. A lot of countries' numbers do not work, but the major issue is that they give the same number to a different client, a used number should not be shown to any other user.

Hello. Indeed, sometimes virtual numbers already have a registered account. This happens due to the number being reissued by the telecom operator.
Please provide your account ID and email, we will check and if the error is confirmed on our side we will return the funds. We hope this has a positive impact on your rating of our application - your feedback is very important to us.
