}API Reference
Generate a test phone number
Generate a random test phone number and its corresponding verification code. Works without authentication (unauthenticated access is heavily rate limited). Also accepts demo/sandbox API keys.
Test phone numbers use reserved ranges that never send real SMS:
- US:
+1{area_code}555-01xx(NANP fictional block) - Global:
+99901xxxxxxx(ITU E.164 test range)
The verification code is always the last 6 digits of the phone number.
