Use inbound TXT/SMS
MailSlurp supports creation and management of real mobile phone numbers in multiple regions. Phone numbers can receive inbound SMS text messages that can be read and received in code, tests, or online.
Common use for SMS includes testing OTP codes. See the tutorials for examples:
Creating phone numbers
First add a phone plan to your account subscription. Then provision a phone number for the plan in the MailSlurp dashboard. Phone numbers have an ID and a number. When fetching the phone number use the ID.
The POST /phone-numbers endpoint must be enabled manually with support team as each invocation bills your account for a phone number rental of one month. This is because telecom providers only rent phone numbers for a minimum of one month. If this is desired behaviour please contact support. For more information see the subscriptions page.
