Rent a number for GroupMe
In the Noir SMS dashboard, select GroupMe and pick a US, Canada or UK number. The live price shows before you buy, and the number is reserved for 20 minutes.
GroupMe is the free group chat app run by Microsoft that many US college classes, clubs, teams and church groups use. You can sign up with a phone number, an email address or a Microsoft account, and when you use a phone number GroupMe texts you a short PIN to confirm it. The phone number matters more on GroupMe than on most chat apps: organizers often add people to a group by number, and in the US, people without the app may be able to take part in a group by plain text message. Noir SMS can receive the confirmation PIN on a carrier mobile number reserved for 20 minutes, which is handy if you'd rather not hand your personal number to a large group of strangers.

Yes, a Noir SMS number can receive the GroupMe verification PIN. Pick GroupMe in the dashboard, choose a US, Canada or UK number, enter it in the app and copy the code. No SMS in 20 minutes means an automatic refund. Because GroupMe ties group invites to phone numbers, sign in with your email or Microsoft account afterward and keep that as your main login.
One number, one GroupMe verification. Pay only for what you use.
Prices captured on November 12, 2026. Prices and stock change with demand; the live price is always shown in your dashboard before you buy. Not charged if no SMS arrives.
In the Noir SMS dashboard, select GroupMe and pick a US, Canada or UK number. The live price shows before you buy, and the number is reserved for 20 minutes.
In the GroupMe app or at groupme.com, choose to sign up with a phone number, set the country code and type the rented number. GroupMe texts a PIN.
Copy the PIN from your dashboard into GroupMe. Then add and confirm an email address or link a Microsoft account so you can sign in later without the number.
When someone adds you by phone number, GroupMe matches it to an account. Share a group's join link, or let people add you by the name on your profile, instead of expecting invites to the rented number, which is recycled later.
GroupMe has historically let people in the US join a group through ordinary text messages. A Noir SMS number only receives texts for 20 minutes and can't reply, so it can't be used as an SMS-only member; install the app instead.
A temporary number is fine for keeping your personal number private in a big group chat. Creating batches of accounts, spamming groups or rejoining groups you were removed from breaks GroupMe's rules and Noir SMS's terms.
Not always. GroupMe usually lets you register with an email address or a Microsoft account instead, though it may ask you to confirm a phone number in some cases. If you choose phone sign-up, a Noir SMS number can receive the PIN.
Check that the country code matches the number (+1 for the US and Canada, +44 for the UK) and wait a minute before you request a new PIN. If nothing reaches your dashboard within 20 minutes, the charge is refunded to your balance automatically.
Only while that number is still linked to your account. Since rented numbers are recycled, it's better to join groups through share links and to sign in with email or a Microsoft account, so you don't depend on the number.
The GroupMe app is available outside the US, and you can register with a Canada or UK number. Some text-message features, such as taking part in a group without the app, have mainly been offered in the US, so plan on using the app.
No. A Noir SMS number receives verification texts in your dashboard for 20 minutes only. Use the GroupMe app or website to read and send messages; the number is only there to confirm your own account.
