FlyNumber alternative: SMS Conecta compared with FlyNumber

Updated 2026-09-30 · By the SMS Conecta team (SMSConecta Inc.)

Short answer: FlyNumber sells local, mobile and toll-free numbers across roughly 90 countries, offering SIP credentials, forwarding to phones or VoIP providers, and metered prepaid outgoing calls. SMS Conecta instead covers 181 countries at one flat price per number, bundling outgoing minutes and SMS into every month and settling payment in stablecoins.

FlyNumber and SMS Conecta sit closer together than most names on this list: each hands you a number you can wire into SIP software. Where they diverge is coverage, what comes included, and how payment works.

What FlyNumber is

FlyNumber provides virtual phone numbers for making and receiving calls on any device. Its site claims coverage across 90 countries in local, mobile and toll-free types, and flags that certain number types restrict outbound calling due to local regulations.

Calls route through FlyNumber SIP using your own credentials on up to 5 devices, get forwarded to any mobile or landline, or get sent on to an existing VoIP provider. Incoming texts land in the panel's SMS inbox and arrive by email too; sending is available only on select numbers, billed per segment. FlyNumber states there are no contracts, incoming calls are free, and outgoing calls draw per minute from a prepaid balance, with numbers starting at $2.95 a month and discounts for longer billing periods (as of September 2026).

When FlyNumber is the better choice

Receiving calls is mostly what you do, and the lowest entry price on a single number matters most.
Forwarding calls into an existing VoIP provider or cloud phone system is preferable to using a dialer.
Having incoming texts copied to your email would be useful.
Monthly, quarterly or semi-annual billing suits you better than a yearly plan.

When SMS Conecta fits better

You need a country FlyNumber does not cover — SMS Conecta spans 181 countries.
Regular outgoing calls and texts are part of your routine, and 1,000 bundled minutes plus 500 SMS per month beat metered usage.
Sending SMS from every number, plus unlimited incoming SMS for verification codes, is what you need.
A simple price that holds steady regardless of country or number type is what you want.
A browser web dialer that lets you switch caller ID between any of your numbers appeals to you, and paying in USDT or USDC is your preference.

Working out the real cost

FlyNumber charges per number upfront, then draws outgoing calls from a prepaid balance, so the monthly total shifts with how much you call and text out. For numbers that mostly handle inbound traffic, that metered setup can work out cheap.

SMS Conecta takes the opposite approach, bundling usage into the price: from $1.80 per month billed yearly ($21.60 per year), with 1,000 outgoing minutes and 500 outgoing SMS per month plus unlimited inbound calls and SMS. No setup fee or contract applies, and auto-renewal from your wallet carries a 7-day grace period if a charge fails. Our price comparison guide is useful if you are weighing several providers and want to line up bundled and metered offers fairly.

Moving your setup to SMS Conecta

Sign up with an email address and select your number from the catalogue.
Pay using USDT or USDC; most numbers go live within minutes.
Grab the SIP username and password from the number's page.
In your softphone or PBX, swap the old account for server sip.smsconecta.com, port 5060 for UDP or TCP, or 5061 for TLS.
Run a test call, verify DTMF against an IVR, then update the number published on your website or listings.
