Temporary SMS service rec needed.

I recently had a similar need and the free services I looked into either were listed as scammy or didn't work. AT&T has a $2 a day service with a $10 minimum and $10 was the cheapest solution I could find. Just took an old iphone into the AT&T store and got set up pretty quickly.

I looked into go phones and all of that. Those programs are all regular monthly plans for people with bad credit who need to pay as they go. They aren't the On Demand pay for what you use programs you're thinking of and I guess maybe they were originally marketed as before everyone had unlimited talk and text.

Just go into an AT&T store with your old iPhone and tell them that you want to set up a new number on the $2 a day plan because you just need to receive one text. They'll pop in a new Sim card and you'll be able to get your text. If you think you'll need the same number later you'll need to pay $10 every other month or they'll deactivate it. I just paid $10 and figure I'll just get a new number if I need to be verified again.

Why not use the textfree app?

It’s certainly worth trying, but that one didn’t work for me. I never would receive the verification text.
