HeroSMS Activate | hero-sms.com Activation 6-digit Code

HeroSMS (often found at hero-sms.com or linked as a successor to SMS-Activate) is a service used to buy temporary virtual phone numbers for receiving OTPs (One Time Passwords) for apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, or Gmail.

If you are trying to “activate” a number (receive an SMS), here is the step-by-step process to use it:

1. How to “Activate” (Get an OTP)

The “activate” command is essentially the process of renting a number for a specific service.

1. Log In: Go to the HeroSMS website (or the app if you are using a mobile version).

2. Top Up: You must have a balance. These sites usually require crypto (Bitcoin/Litecoin) or specific payment processors.

3. Select Service: On the left sidebar or home menu, click the icon of the app you need (e.g., Telegram, WhatsApp, Google).

4. Select Country: Choose a country (e.g., Indonesia, USA, UK). Tip: “Cheap” countries often have lower success rates.

5. Buy/Activate: Click the shopping cart or “Buy” button.

   • This generates a number for you.

6. Use the Number: Copy the number given to you and paste it into the app you are trying to verify.

7. Wait for Code: Watch the HeroSMS website. The status will change from “Waiting” to the actual 6-digit code.

2. Troubleshooting: Code Not Arriving

If you clicked activate but the code isn’t showing up:

• Time Limit: You usually have 15-20 minutes. If no code arrives in ~15 minutes, the order typically cancels automatically.

• Cancel Manually: If the code doesn’t arrive within 2 minutes, it is often faster to click the “X” or “Cancel” button to refund your balance instantly and try a different number/country.

• Do NOT Resend: If the app (e.g., WhatsApp) says “wait 1 hour,” that number is likely burned. Cancel it and buy a new one.

3. Important Warnings

• Transition from SMS-Activate: Many users are moving to HeroSMS because the famous SMS-Activate service announced changes/shutdowns. HeroSMS is effectively the “new” version for many.

• Scam/Reliability Warning: Recent user reviews for hero-sms.com and similar clones have been mixed to negative (2/5 stars). Many users report depositing money and never receiving codes.

  • Recommendation: Only deposit a very small amount ($2-$5) to test if it works for you before adding significant funds.

• Temporary Only: Never use these numbers for important banking or permanent accounts. You will lose access to the number after 20 minutes, and you cannot recover the account if you get locked out later.
