# SMS activation price and the amount to start

Reference HTML: [ReadyOTP](https://readyotp.com/pricing/)

Publisher: ReadyOTP. Offer facts reviewed 2026-09-24.

Pricing

A top-up adds account credit after confirmation. The price of one temporary number is the separate live offer shown for its service and country.

 

Current activation offer

**$0.70 USD per new temporary SMS activation** for any available, eligible service and country through January 31, 2027 (UTC).

The $20 minimum crypto top-up adds account credit; it is not the price of one activation. Availability and the final quote must be checked for the exact pair before confirmation.

## Top-up

The minimum crypto top-up is $20 USD, with a $5,000 maximum per invoice. Choose the exact coin and network on the invoice. Its USD quote expires after 15 minutes; creating an invoice or copying an address does not add balance.

## Order price

The account displays the applicable offer for a chosen service and country, including an eligible promotional quote while it is active. Confirm the shown price before ordering; the successful order then shows its expiry. A successful reservation debits the displayed charge once from confirmed balance.

## Returned credit

An eligible cancellation before the first SMS, or an unanswered expiry under the server policy, returns the activation charge to the same account balance. It is not a cash or crypto reversal.

 

## Why is there no price for a pair?

The directory is broader than current supplier stock. When no current offer exists, price and availability remain unknown and the pair cannot be ordered. [Check another current pair](https://readyotp.com/catalog/) .

## How do I track the money?

The Top up and History tabs show invoices and account activity. A pending payment and a confirmed balance are different states; wait for the displayed confirmation before ordering. [Read the balance guide](https://readyotp.com/guides/balance-and-orders/) .

## Account credit and one activation are separate amounts

During the promotion through January 31, 2027 (UTC), a $20 minimum top-up adds $20 of account credit after confirmation. One available, eligible new activation costs $0.70 USD when its final offer is confirmed, leaving $19.30 of credit after that order. This is an arithmetic illustration, not a stock claim or a crypto refund.

A top-up quote lasts 15 minutes, while the assigned number's exact expiry appears only after assignment. An eligible returned order charge goes back to account balance, not automatically to the crypto payment method.
