NoKYCPhone

About

A phone number became
an identity document.
We sell the other kind.

Over about fifteen years the phone number quietly turned into the master key of everyone's digital life. NoKYCPhone exists because that key should not have your name on it.

Why this exists

One number, handed to four hundred companies.

Count the places that have yours. Every one of them stored it, most of them shared it, and a fair number have already lost it. Nobody voted for the number becoming an ID — it just did.

  1. 01

    It is the master key

    Your number recovers your e-mail, which recovers everything else. A SIM swap at a careless carrier is not a phone problem; it is a total loss of everything behind it.

  2. 02

    It is the join key

    Brokers do not need your name. The number is the column every leaked database shares, which is what lets them be merged into one file about you.

  3. 03

    You cannot rotate it

    A password changes in ten seconds. A number costs a month of reclaiming accounts, and the old one still sits in a hundred databases.

  4. 04

    It carries your legal identity

    In most countries a SIM is registered against a document. Handing over the number hands over a pointer to your passport — to a marketplace that wanted to text you about a sofa.

What we actually do

Real allocations, rented one at a time.

There is nothing clever in the plumbing, and that is the point. We buy number ranges the way any small operator does, and we never attach a person to them.

Countries & prices
  1. 1

    Licensed carriers allocate

    In each of the 47 countries, operators hand us blocks from the national numbering plan — the same ranges a local SIM comes from, which is why codes arrive.

  2. 2

    One number, one customer

    Yours alone while you pay for it. Never shared, never pooled, never recycled until the carrier quarantine has run. Nobody else reads your codes.

  3. 3

    Traffic lands in a browser

    Calls, texts and voicemail route into the panel and the API. No SIM, no app, no second handset, and it works from anywhere.

  4. 4

    Crypto in, Monero on our side

    A one-time address per top-up, settled to XMR. No processor, no billing name, no card network keeping a file with your address on it.

  5. 5

    Released, and wiped

    Stop paying or release the line: messages, voicemail and call records go the same second. There is no archive to subpoena later.

  • Not a carrier. We resell allocations under contract; the networks stay the networks.
  • Not a bank. A balance is service credit, not a deposit account. It earns nothing and it is not a place to move money through.
  • Not an anonymity service. A number is a public identifier that crosses networks we do not control. We store nothing about you; the carriers keep their own records.

Commitments

Six things we will not do.

Not aspirations. Each one is either built into the product or written into a document you can hold us to.

Read the terms
  1. 01

    Never ask who you are

    No e-mail, no name, no document — not at signup, not later, not as a « verification step » once you depend on us. There is no field for it in the database.

  2. 02

    Never take a card

    A card is an identity with a fee attached. Accepting one means a processor, a billing name and a file about you that outlives your account.

  3. 03

    Never sell or share data

    No advertising network, no analytics vendor, no broker, not even aggregated. The interesting columns do not exist, so there is nothing to aggregate.

  4. 04

    Never hide an outage

    The status page is computed from our own probes, and every incident since September 2024 stays there — 58 so far. None gets quietly deleted.

  5. 05

    Never change terms silently

    Anything that widens what we collect, or narrows what you get, is announced in the panel 30 days before it applies. Old versions are kept and sent on request.

  6. 06

    Never become a spam route

    Bulk and A2P messaging is refused, and cut when found. It gets a whole range blocked within hours and burns the service for everyone using it properly.

How we are run

Small, funded by customers, and not named.

Funding
Customers. No fund, no round, no exit to plan for.
Team
Small, and deliberately unnamed.
Marketing
None worth the name. You found us by search or by word of mouth.
Largest cost
Carrier allocations, paid whether a range is used or not.

Who this is not for

Bulk messaging, a service that needs a registered local presence, or the only recovery factor on something you cannot lose. We would rather say it here than in a refund thread.

No investors, no growth target

The service is paid for by the people who use it and by nothing else. There is no fund expecting a return in five years — the usual reason a privacy product eventually adds « optional » identity verification and then makes it mandatory. We do not have that pressure, and we have structured things so we cannot acquire it quietly.

Why nobody's face is on this page

People who run no-KYC infrastructure are a target — for pressure, for harassment, and for the occasional invitation to a jurisdiction they would rather not visit. Staying unnamed is how a service like this survives long enough to be worth trusting. That is a real trade-off: you are asked to judge us on what the product does rather than on who runs it. So we made the things you can check as concrete as possible.

Where the money goes

Carrier allocations are the large cost, and they recur — we pay for a range whether you use it or not. The rest is infrastructure and the people answering tickets. There is no advertising budget, which is why you probably arrived here from a search result or from somebody who told you.

What happens if we are forced to change

If a jurisdiction ever made no-KYC number rental impossible for us to operate honestly, we would say so on this page and stop taking new orders, rather than add identity checks to an existing account and call it an update. Running lines would go to the end of their paid period. That is the commitment, written here in advance, where it is inconvenient to walk back.

Two years, in short

What changed since the first line went live.

Product changes as dated in the API changelog. The outages come straight from the status engine, so they will always match.

Browse the history
  1. The service opens

    Thirty-one countries, the panel, and v1 of the API on day one. First line ordered eleven minutes after the tunnel came up.

  2. Major outage: Panel, API and website unreachable

    Down for 28 min. Written up on the status page the same day, credited to every affected line.

  3. Landline ranges

    Fixed-line allocations added in twelve countries — about 20% cheaper, and the right line for a local business presence.

  4. Cursor pagination

    The API moves to cursor paging. Offset paging stays six more months, then goes.

  5. Signed webhooks, with a timestamp

    Webhook signatures move to a timestamped HMAC so a captured request cannot be replayed.

  6. Major outage: Messaging and voice unavailable

    Down for 33 min. Written up on the status page the same day, credited to every affected line.

  7. Code extraction rewritten

    Roughly 30% more inbound messages now carry a ready-to-copy code.

  8. AI add-ons

    Auto-pickup, call screening, voicemail summaries and live translation, switched on per line.

  9. Premium patterns

    Memorable numbers, and picking a specific one before ordering.

  10. 47 countries

    Guides, a public status feed, and this page.

  11. Next

    More countries, slowly

    Each one is a carrier contract, not a config change. Added when the allocation is stable enough to keep.

  12. Client-side encrypted inbox

    Messages encrypted in the browser under a key derived from your access key, so a seized database reads as noise.

  13. Outbound calling everywhere

    Inbound works in every country we sell. Outbound is missing in a handful; we are closing them one contract at a time.

No dates on what is next: a date on a roadmap is a promise made by someone who does not yet know the problem.

Keep your number.
Use ours everywhere else.

Pick a country, pay in crypto, and the line is live about a minute later. Nothing to install, nothing to prove.
