Analysis

OVERVIEW

sms4sats is an open-source, pseudonymously developed SMS rental service that charges per use through Lightning hold invoices instead of maintaining accounts or stored balances.

LIMITS

The jurisdiction is undocumented and the record warns one-time numbers are unsuitable as durable two-factor recovery numbers, since target services may reject reused or VoIP numbers or later demand phone revalidation.

USEFUL FOR

Single-use SMS verification paid in sats, not a durable phone number for long-term account recovery.
