## FAQ

**Can I get a Mexican phone number for verification from the US or abroad?** Yes. Choose Mexico and the app in SMS Nitro; a private +52 number is reserved for 20 minutes and the code appears in your dashboard. Your location does not matter, and you pay only if the SMS arrives; otherwise the amount returns to your balance.

**Do I need to add a 1 after +52 for a Mexican mobile?** No. Since 2019 Mexican numbers are dialed as +52 plus 10 digits for both mobile and landline. If a form rejects the number, remove any 1 inserted after the country code and type the 10 digits exactly as shown in your dashboard.

**Which apps list Mexico as the best country?** Uber, SHEIN, Ticketmaster, Mercado Libre (Mercado Livre in the catalog), Rappi and Kwai list Mexico as a best fit, and 54 apps had Mexican numbers at the last snapshot. Each app page shows the Mexican price before you confirm.

**Are Mexican SIMs registered to an ID?** Yes. Since January 9, 2026 every mobile line in Mexico must be linked to its holder's CURP, and lines not linked by June 30, 2026 were disabled. Active +52 numbers are therefore registered carrier lines, which is why the physical-SIM pool passes strict services.

**How much does a Mexico number cost?** From $0.04 per delivered code (Microsoft / Outlook) at the last price snapshot. Strict apps and physical-SIM lines cost more; the exact price of each app on a Mexico number is shown before you confirm and frozen until the SMS arrives.

**Do I need to be in Mexico to use a +52 number?** No. Everything happens online: the number is reserved in your SMS Nitro dashboard and the SMS is read there, so your own location and SIM do not matter.

**Are Mexican numbers physical SIM or virtual?** Both pools exist. Physical-SIM Mexico numbers are real carrier lines and pass strict checks (WhatsApp, Google, banks); virtual ones are cheaper and fine for most sign-ups. The pool is labeled before you confirm.

**What if the SMS to my Mexico number does not arrive?** You are not charged. The held amount returns to your balance automatically and you can take another Mexico number, or switch country, right away.

**How long can I use the Mexico number?** The number is reserved for 20 minutes. Every SMS sent to it in that window appears in your dashboard, and you pay only when the first code arrives.
