This is the official HeroSMS account.

HeroSMS is a virtual-number service. Developers testing apps, marketing teams and people who need a separate number for a new account buy one-time SMS codes from us. HeroSMS Partners is the program that lets SIM card owners supply those codes and get paid for them.

How it works:
1. Register on the partner site.
2. Download the Android app from the website itself.
3. Insert your SIM cards (up to 2 per phone) and switch on sales.
4. One-time codes that arrive on your SIM are sold to HeroSMS customers. You set your own price per code and receive 85% of the income.
5. Withdraw when your balance reaches $30.

How much can a SIM bring? The site has a calculator that gives an estimate per SIM card for each country. It is only an estimate, not a promise and not a daily figure. Real results depend on demand, the country and how active the SIM is. You earn only from codes sold on your own SIMs. It is not an investment scheme and there is nobody to recruit.

Please read before you start:
- Use only spare SIM cards registered in your own name. Never use your main number, the one tied to your bank, mobile money or WhatsApp.
- The codes on your SIM are used to confirm accounts that other people create. You do not see or control those accounts, but the number is registered to you.
- Check your mobile network's terms, and check whether receiving OTP codes this way is legal in your country.

After registration, the support chat on the site helps you put your SIM cards on sale.

TL;DR
If you have a regular Android phone and a couple of SIM cards, start earning with HeroSMS Partners by receiving SMS/OTP codes. No GoIP, GSM modems, or SIM banks required.
The setup is simple: register, choose “Smartphone” as the equipment type, install the app, and connect the phone by QR code.
Then you set your own price per code and track statistics directly in the app.
The entry barrier is almost zero: you can start with one SIM and gradually scale up to a smartphone farm.

Why this works
Many people have old phones and unused SIM cards lying around at home. Usually, “SIM card earning” sounds like something only people with GSM gateways, a lot of hardware, and a dedicated mini-farm can do. In practice, that myth is no longer necessary: SMS reception can now be organized through a regular Android smartphone.
That is why this model works for people who do not want to invest in SIM banks, GoIP, and VoIP setups. Instead of a costly start, you only need a working phone, SIM cards, and the app.
How it used to work
The classic SMS reception setup required SIM banks, GSM modems, GoIP devices, and other hardware. That meant purchase costs, setup, maintenance, and being tied to one location. For beginners, the entry point often looked too complex and expensive.
If you already have equipment, it does not go to waste: HeroSMS also has separate options for hardware and protocol-based connections. But for getting started, even that is not required.
How it works now
The logic is much simpler now: clients buy a number to receive an SMS or OTP code, and your phone receives that message through the app. You do not build a mini hardware stack — you simply connect the smartphone and start working.
That is the main advantage of this model: fewer barriers, lower costs, less hassle. You can start with just one SIM card and then scale based on demand and your own geography.
How it works
HeroSMS Partners has a 4-step setup process:
1. Create an account in the system and select “Smartphone” in the equipment type section. Passport details are not requested during registration.
2. Insert up to 2 SIM cards into a working Android phone.
3. Download and install the mobile app via QR code.
4. Connect the device by scanning the QR code from your dashboard.
After that, the SIM cards go online, and prices and statistics are available in the app. Everything is managed there, without extra hassle.
How much you can earn
The most honest answer: income depends on the country, the service, and demand. The supplier sets the price per code themselves, and the system range is roughly from $0.05 to $20 per code.
There are two working strategies. The first is to keep only top services like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Google: they are bought faster, but the cycle is usually shorter. The second is to keep the SIM longer for all services: you can get more out of one card, but you will wait longer.
If you look at a smartphone farm, income scales linearly: one SIM gives one stream, several phones give several streams. It is that simple. The country comparison tool on the main page helps you estimate where the economics look best.
Why demand is high
Numbers are not needed “just because.” They are bought for geo-restriction bypass, testing, social media ads, and registering new or second accounts. Because of that, demand for SMS/OTP reception is consistently high, while competition among suppliers is lower than it may seem.
Many people still think you cannot enter this niche without SIM banks and VoIP setups. That is exactly where the opportunity comes from: the simple solution exists, but not everyone knows about it.

The subscription model on hardware you already bought is exactly why I haven't bought one yet. Paying a monthly fee just to see my own sleep data makes zero sense. Local processing is definitely the way the market should go.

The hardware looks standard, but the real value is in their computer vision model. If the AI can accurately track micro-changes on the skin over several months, that is a massive leap forward. I just wonder what the cost per scan will be.
