Rent a number for Twilio
In the Noir SMS dashboard, select Twilio and pick a US, Canada or UK number. You see the live price first, and the number is reserved for 20 minutes.
Twilio is the cloud communications platform developers use to send SMS, make calls and run verification flows from their own apps. Creating a Twilio account usually means confirming your email and then a phone number by text code. On a trial account, the verified number matters later too: trial projects can generally only send messages and calls to verified numbers, and Twilio may use your phone for sign-in security. Noir SMS can receive the sign-up code for your own legitimate account, for example to keep a personal number off a work sign-up, but a recycled, receive-only number can't be your test destination or your security phone.

A Noir SMS number can receive the Twilio sign-up verification code for your own developer account. Choose Twilio in the dashboard, pick a US, Canada or UK number, enter it and paste the code. No SMS in 20 minutes means an automatic refund. On a trial account that number also becomes your verified test destination, so add your own phone for testing and for account security.
One number, one Twilio verification. Pay only for what you use.

Sign up on twilio.com with your real name and email, confirm the email, then enter the rented number when Twilio asks to verify a phone.
Paste the code from your dashboard. Add your own phone or an authenticator app for sign-in security, and verify your own phone as a trial test number.
Twilio forbids spam, phishing and unsolicited messaging, and it reviews senders through programs such as A2P 10DLC and toll-free verification in the US. A temporary number only confirms your own account and never helps get around those reviews.
Trial accounts can usually only reach verified numbers. A Noir SMS number receives texts for 20 minutes and then expires, so messages you send in testing won't reach you. Verify your own phone for that.
Noir SMS numbers can't send texts or take calls, and they can't be ported into Twilio. If your app needs its own number, buy one inside Twilio after your account is set up.
Yes, Twilio usually asks you to verify a phone number by text code after confirming your email. A Noir SMS number can receive that code for your own account.
Not really. It's reserved for 20 minutes and only receives SMS in the Noir SMS dashboard, so it won't work as an ongoing test destination or for voice. Verify your own phone in the Twilio console for testing.
No. Those are business registration reviews for sending messages in the US, based on your company details and use case. A phone code has nothing to do with them, and Noir SMS can't be used to get around them.
Twilio may refuse numbers it detects as VoIP or already tied to another account. Noir SMS numbers are carrier mobile numbers, so they usually work. If one is rejected, cancel after 2 minutes for an instant refund and try another.
Not yet. Noir SMS also has a REST API: generate a key on the API page of your dashboard and see the docs at noirsms.com/api/docs/. Noir SMS is a receive-only verification service, not a messaging platform like Twilio.
