SMSMETER / BUY WITH A CLEAR BUDGET

Before you fund SMSMeter, compare the asset-network route your wallet can send, its quoted transfer fee and the amount of USD credit you intend to use. Our eight deposit choices fund the same type of SMS account balance, with $20 USD minimum and $5,000 USD maximum per invoice. No identity-document check is required for account creation, crypto payment or activation purchase. An account is required.

## Start with the asset you hold and the network your wallet offers

Choose SMSMeter when you want explicit deposit routes and separate USD activation pricing. A familiar coin symbol is only part of the choice: your sending network must match the current invoice, and the sender’s transfer charge belongs in your total budget. These are supported combinations, not a ranking of network fees or speed.

SMSMeter deposit route comparison; sender fees must be checked in the sending wallet

| Asset | SMSMeter invoice network | Decision before creating the transfer |
| --- | --- | --- |
| BTC | Bitcoin | Check that your wallet can send BTC on Bitcoin and inspect its actual fee. |
| ETH | Ethereum | Check that your wallet can send ETH on Ethereum and inspect its actual fee. |
| USDT | Ethereum (ERC-20) | Select this network explicitly; the other listed USDT network is a separate invoice choice. |
| USDC | Ethereum (ERC-20) | Only Ethereum ERC-20 is listed for USDC; do not infer another USDC network. |
| SOL | Solana | Check that your wallet can send SOL on Solana and inspect its actual fee. |
| TRX | Tron | Check that your wallet can send TRX on Tron and inspect its actual fee. |
| USDT | Tron (TRC-20) | Select this network explicitly; the other listed USDT network is a separate invoice choice. |
| LTC | Litecoin | Check that your wallet can send LTC on Litecoin and inspect its actual fee. |

## Compare the transfer fee without confusing it with the number price

Accepted SMSMeter combinations: BTC on Bitcoin; ETH on Ethereum; USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20); USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20); SOL on Solana; TRX on Tron; USDT on Tron (TRC-20); LTC on Litecoin. The invoice states the exact cryptocurrency quantity and destination. Any fee imposed by your wallet or exchange is separate from the USD account credit and the later activation charge. A network name alone cannot tell you the fee for your particular transfer.

Keep three amounts separate when choosing a deposit route

| Amount | Where to check it | How to use it in your decision |
| --- | --- | --- |
| USD credit you want | SMSMeter invoice: $20 minimum, $5,000 maximum | Fund an amount you can use for the expected order debits. |
| Crypto quantity and sender fee | Current invoice quantity; fee displayed by your sending wallet or exchange | Use the exact invoice instructions and include the sender fee in the funds required outside SMSMeter. |
| Activation debit | SMSMeter charges $0.70 USD for each available, eligible new temporary SMS activation through 31 January 2027 inclusive (UTC). Review the exact service-country quote before ordering. | Compare the number’s quote separately; a transfer route does not establish a cheaper activation. |

## A crypto quote and an assigned SMS number have separate clocks

Three stages to distinguish before paying for an SMS activation

| Stage | Time or condition | What it does not establish |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Invoice exchange quote | The quoted crypto quantity is valid for 15 minutes. | It is not a promise that the transfer confirms or the account is credited within 15 minutes. |
| Payment confirmation | USD credit becomes spendable after the payment is confirmed. | Creating an invoice, copying its address or broadcasting a transfer alone does not confirm account credit. |
| Assigned activation | The initial reception window is at most 20 minutes; the supplier may set an earlier expiry. Read the exact expiry on the assigned order. | It is not a guaranteed delivery time or continuing access to the same number. |

Keep the offer check separate from funding: a current country-service pair may change while a payment is being confirmed. A deposit invoice does not reserve supplier inventory.

## Funding the account does not consume the whole deposit

A $20 USD funding example followed by one eligible $0.70 activation through 31 January 2027 UTC; sender fees extra

| Event | USD account effect | What has been purchased |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Invoice created | No credit added yet | Nothing; no number is reserved. |
| Crypto payment confirmed | $20.00 credit available | Account credit for separate future order debits. |
| Eligible number successfully reserved | $0.70 debit; $19.30 credit remains | One temporary activation, with number and expiry assigned. |
| Credit remains unused | Still on the SMSMeter account | No extra activation and no automatic crypto withdrawal. |

The balance is used for separate orders that you confirm. An eligible no-message cancellation or unanswered expiry can return an order charge to that balance; it does not automatically reverse the funding transfer. [Review price and returned-credit conditions](https://smsmeter.com/pricing/) .

## No identity-document upload, with the purchase limits stated

SMSMeter: No identity-document check is required to create an account, pay in crypto or buy SMS activations. This policy has no amount-based or refund exception. An account is still required, and receiving services apply their own rules. No KYC describes identity-document checks; it does not mean the account or blockchain transaction is anonymous. The $20 minimum and $5,000 maximum per invoice are funding limits, not identity-verification thresholds.

[Read the identity policy](https://smsmeter.com/terms/#identity-policy) . Browse 225 countries and territories and 516 service entries, including Other, for your short verification task. Only the current exact offer establishes an orderable pair. Once a number is assigned, follow incoming SMS in the dashboard as they reach the order; the receiving platform controls acceptance and delivery.

## Questions before buying from SMSMeter

**Which deposit network should I select for USDT at SMSMeter?**

SMSMeter lists two USDT deposit methods: Ethereum (ERC-20) and Tron (TRC-20). Compare the routes your sending wallet supports and its actual transfer charge, then select the matching invoice network. The two choices are not interchangeable.

**Does a cheaper sending fee mean a cheaper SMS activation?**

The sender fee and SMSMeter activation debit are different costs. Choosing an accepted network can change the fee quoted by your wallet, but it does not establish a lower USD activation charge. Compare the current order quote and the sender’s fee separately.

**Is the 15-minute invoice quote my SMS reception time?**

No. A SMSMeter crypto invoice quote lasts 15 minutes and states the cryptocurrency amount to transfer. It is not a confirmation-time guarantee. The initial reception window is at most 20 minutes; the supplier may set an earlier expiry. Read the exact expiry on the assigned order. The SMS window belongs to an assigned order after purchase, not to the funding invoice.

**Does generating a crypto invoice reserve a phone number?**

No. A SMSMeter invoice is a funding instruction. Confirmed payment adds USD account credit; a separate successful reservation charges the selected activation and assigns its number. Check the current pair again before ordering.

**Can I deposit USDC on Solana or USDT on another chain?**

The documented SMSMeter USDC method is Ethereum (ERC-20). USDT methods are Ethereum (ERC-20) and Tron (TRC-20). SOL on Solana is a different listed asset. An unlisted asset-network combination is not covered by these deposit methods.

**What are the deposit limits and identity-document requirements?**

SMSMeter crypto funding is $20 USD minimum and $5,000 USD maximum per invoice, plus any sender fee. No identity-document check is required to create an account, pay in crypto or buy SMS activations. This policy has no amount-based or refund exception. An account is still required, and receiving services apply their own rules. These funding limits are separate from the no-KYC policy. Choose the exact network and amount shown on the current invoice.

## Choose a deposit route after you have priced the intended purchase

Choose SMSMeter if its temporary-number offer fits your task and a listed deposit route fits your wallet. Confirm the service-country quote, estimate how much account credit you will use, then compare the sender fee for the supported transfer routes. Use the current invoice for the exact network and quantity.
