What Is MajorPhones?
MajorPhones sells temporary phone numbers for receiving SMS verification codes when signing up for or logging in to online services. The numbers are Non-VoIP, which means they come from phone carriers instead of internet calling services. MajorPhones names Verizon and Sprint as sources for its US numbers, and Vodafone and T-Mobile for its UK numbers. The company behind it is Major Phones LLC, which lists an address in Sheridan, Wyoming.
Next to phone numbers, the MajorPhones homepage lists virtual cards, empty SIM cards, and an API. Creating an account needs only an email address and a password, and the terms state that MajorPhones never asks for identity documents, either at sign-up or later.
Short-Term and Long-Term Numbers
Short-term numbers are meant for a single verification. A short-term number may be reusable for up to 7 days after purchase, though MajorPhones says this does not always work, and each new code is charged again. The terms list short-term numbers for the US, the UK, India, France, and Germany.
Long-term numbers are rented for a fixed period and stay with the buyer for repeat verifications. The services page lists US rentals of 1, 7, 15, or 30 days and UK rentals of 7, 14, or 30 days. The terms also mention middle-term US numbers, and they say MajorPhones can swap a rented number or end a rental early if needed.
After a number is bought, the code has to arrive within 10 minutes. If no code comes in, the balance is not charged. A number can also be reported or canceled from the dashboard before a code arrives, again without a charge. For a service missing from the catalog, a "Service not listed" number can be bought instead. MajorPhones says it works directly with telephone carriers and does not resell verifications.
Virtual Cards and Empty SIM Cards
MajorPhones' virtual prepaid cards are meant for buying goods online. The cards carry a Hong Kong billing address. The terms say they do not work on ad platforms such as Google Ads, TikTok Ads, and Meta Ads, and they cannot be used to open a US PayPal account. If a card fails for a reason outside those stated limits, MajorPhones either replaces it or credits the user's balance.
Empty SIM cards are also listed on the homepage and are bought from the MajorPhones dashboard.

How MajorPhones Works With CatProxies
MajorPhones supplies the phone number that receives the SMS code. The proxy decides which IP address and location the service sees during sign-up and at later logins, and CatProxies supplies that proxy. MajorPhones' FAQ says a platform may reject a number when it detects a proxy service or several accounts being created at once, so a clean IP in the right country helps the code go through.
| Task | MajorPhones role | CatProxies role |
| Signing up for an account | Provides the US or UK number that receives the SMS code | Supplies the IP the sign-up comes from |
| Matching location | Provides a number from a carrier in that country | Supplies IPs in the same country as the number |
| Keeping an account long term | Rents the same number for up to 30 days for repeat codes | Supplies static ISP IPs that stay the same at every login |
| Running several accounts | Gives each account its own number | Gives each account its own IP |
| Apps that expect a phone network | Provides a carrier number for the SMS code | Mobile proxies give an IP from a mobile carrier network |
MajorPhones' own guides point the same way. Its Instagram guide is written for US residents and tells readers in other countries to use a residential proxy or a VPN first. Another of its account setup guides recommends a static residential SOCKS5 proxy and suggests checking the IP on an IP lookup site before using it.
CatProxies plans export ip:port:username:password credentials over HTTP and SOCKS5. The proxy goes into the browser or antidetect browser profile used for the sign-up, and the MajorPhones number goes into the service's phone field. A US number pairs with a US proxy, and a UK number with a UK proxy.
There is no technical integration between the two products. A MajorPhones user adds CatProxies proxies on their own side, and neither product depends on the other to function.
Who This Is Best For
MajorPhones suits people who need a US or UK number for SMS codes and do not want to give out their personal number. That includes anyone running several accounts that each need a number of their own. Users who prefer not to share identity documents can sign up with only an email and a password. Long-term rentals fit accounts that ask for a new code at later logins.
Static ISP proxies fit accounts kept for a long time, since both the IP and the long-term number stay the same. For one-off sign-ups on a short-term number, residential proxies with sticky sessions hold the same IP until the code arrives. Mobile proxies fit apps that expect traffic from a carrier network.
MajorPhones is less suited to anyone who needs to make calls, because the terms say the number service covers SMS verifications only. Long-term numbers are limited to the US and the UK, and the virtual cards do not work for ad accounts or a US PayPal account.
Pricing
MajorPhones does not publish a price list on its public website. Prices for each service and country show up in the dashboard after sign-up. Users top up a balance first, and each purchase is taken from that balance. The FAQ says there are no discounts for buying many numbers.
| Item | How it is charged | Details |
| Short-term number | Charged once the SMS code arrives | No charge if no code arrives within 10 minutes. Each reuse within 7 days is charged as a new verification |
| Middle and long-term number | Priced by rental length | US from 1 to 30 days, UK from 7 to 30 days. Not available on balance added through Amazon Pay |
| Virtual prepaid card | Bought from the balance | Replaced or refunded as balance only for faults outside the card's stated limits |
| Empty SIM card | Bought from the balance | Listed on the homepage, with options shown in the dashboard |
The homepage says balance can be added with Visa, Mastercard, or cryptocurrency. The terms list a longer set of methods, including Amazon Pay, Binance Pay, Alipay, PayNow, VietQR, and local payment options in South Korea, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Tanzania.
Refund requests are reviewed one by one. The terms say a refund can be refused for a number that already received its code, and an unused US long-term number cannot be refunded after 12 hours. Prices are set by MajorPhones and may change. Verify current pricing and terms on the MajorPhones website before buying.
FAQ
Is MajorPhones free?
No. Users add balance to their account and pay per number, card, or SIM. A short-term number is only charged once its SMS code arrives.
What is a Non-VoIP number?
A Non-VoIP number comes from a phone carrier, while a VoIP number runs over an internet calling service. MajorPhones names Verizon and Sprint for its US numbers and Vodafone and T-Mobile for its UK numbers.
Which countries does MajorPhones cover?
The terms list short-term numbers for the US, the UK, India, France, and Germany. Long-term rentals are listed for the US and the UK.
What happens if the SMS code never arrives?
The code has to arrive within 10 minutes of buying the number. If it does not, the balance is not charged, and the number can be reported so another one can be bought. If codes keep failing, MajorPhones' FAQ says the platform may have detected a Non-VoIP number, a proxy, or many accounts being created, and suggests trying again later.
Does MajorPhones ask for ID?
No. The terms say MajorPhones never asks for identity documents, selfies, or proof of address. An account needs only an email address and a password.
Does MajorPhones have an API?
Yes. The MajorPhones homepage lists an API next to SMS verification, virtual cards, and empty SIM cards.
Which proxies work best with MajorPhones?
A proxy in the same country as the number. Static ISP proxies suit accounts kept long term on a long-term number, and residential proxies with sticky sessions suit one-off sign-ups. Mobile proxies suit apps that expect a carrier network. CatProxies provides mobile, residential, ISP, datacenter, and IPv6 proxies, and the right type depends on the service and how long the account will be used.
Is CatProxies part of MajorPhones?
No. CatProxies and MajorPhones are separate products with no technical integration. A MajorPhones user adds CatProxies proxies independently, and neither product depends on the other to function.
