How the Noir SMS Affiliate Program Works

By the Noir SMS team4 min read

Quick answer

Every Noir SMS customer gets a referral link. When people sign up through your link and buy numbers, you earn a commission on their purchases, and you can move those earnings to your Noir SMS balance to pay for your own verifications. Share the link honestly, disclose that it's a referral link, and never promote it with spam or for prohibited uses.

If you've found Noir SMS useful, you've probably recommended it to someone already. The affiliate program lets you earn from those recommendations. It's built into your customer account, where your referral link lives alongside your balance. This guide explains how the referral link works, what you earn on, how to use your earnings, and how to share the link in a way that's honest, compliant with advertising rules and in line with Noir SMS's acceptable use policy.

How does the affiliate program work?

Each customer account has its own referral link, which you'll find in the dashboard. When someone opens your link and creates a Noir SMS account, they're connected to you as a referral. From then on, you earn a commission on purchases they make.

Because the referral link comes with your customer account, your earnings sit in the same place as your balance and purchase history. That also means it benefits from the same account protections, including optional two-factor authentication with an authenticator app.

Your earnings build up in your account, and you can move them to your Noir SMS balance. From there, they work like any other balance: you can spend them on numbers for your own verifications, and the balance never expires. For the current details of the program, check the referral area of your dashboard or ask support.

What do you earn on?

You earn on purchases made by people you referred, meaning number purchases they make from their balance. Your referrals pay the same live prices as everyone else, so using your link costs them nothing extra. They also get the same features: pay per number, automatic refunds when no SMS arrives within 20 minutes, and a balance that never expires.

  • Earn on purchases by people who sign up through your link.
  • Referrals pay normal prices; nothing is added for them.
  • Earnings can be moved to your Noir SMS balance.
  • Earnings can then pay for your own verifications.

Who is the program a good fit for?

The program suits people who already talk about privacy, apps or online tools: bloggers, newsletter writers, YouTubers, community moderators, and people who help friends and family set up new phones and accounts. The best referrals come from genuinely useful content, such as a guide to keeping your number private, a walkthrough of verifying an app while traveling, or an explanation of VoIP versus mobile numbers.

Because Noir SMS is pay per number, it's an easy recommendation for someone who needs a single verification and doesn't want a subscription.

It's less suited to audiences looking for things Noir SMS doesn't do. There are no voice calls and no outgoing texts, and the numbers aren't meant to be kept. If your readers need a permanent second line, an eSIM or second SIM is the honest recommendation, and saying so builds the kind of trust that makes your other recommendations more valuable.

Be clear and honest. Explain what Noir SMS does, including its limits: numbers receive SMS only, are for one verification on one service, and are recycled later, so they aren't suitable as a long-term recovery number. Don't promise that every app will accept every number, because no provider can guarantee that.

Advertising rules in the US, UK and Canada generally expect you to disclose when you earn from a recommendation. In the US, the FTC's endorsement guidance asks for a clear disclosure of material connections; in the UK, the advertising codes expect affiliate content to be identifiable as advertising; and Canada's Competition Bureau has similar expectations. A simple note such as “This is a referral link; I earn a commission if you buy” near the link is a good habit. This is general information, not legal advice.

What isn't allowed?

The program follows the same acceptable use policy as the rest of Noir SMS. Spam is prohibited, so don't mass-message your link or post it where it isn't welcome. Don't market Noir SMS for fraud, scams, impersonation, harassment, bulk or automated account creation, evading bans, or bypassing bank, fintech, crypto-exchange or identity checks. Accounts that break these rules are closed.

Promote Noir SMS for what it's meant for: helping people verify their own legitimate accounts without exposing their personal number. If you have questions about the program, contact support@noirsms.com or use the Support page in your dashboard.
