## What happened to SMS-Activate

SMS-Activate ceased operations in December 2025. It was one of the largest SMS activation aggregators; its users had to find a replacement.

Source: the notice on the official site sms-activate.org, “We have completely ceased our operation since December 22” (checked 2026-10-24).

How MOTYA SIM works: numbers come from several sources, the price of each service × country pair is on screen before payment, and when a code does not arrive within 15 minutes the money returns to your balance automatically.

## Why MOTYA SIM

- **Code in your chat** — the number and the SMS code land in the Telegram chat and in the Mini App.
- **From $0.04 per code** — the price is on screen before you pay, and exactly that amount is charged once from your balance. Telegram from $0.38.
- **Auto refund in 15 minutes** - no code in 15 minutes: the order cancels itself and the amount returns to your balance.
- **Cancel before the code** — from 30 seconds after purchase until the code arrives, you can cancel the order on its card: the money returns to your balance.

## Start in three steps

1. Open the bot in Telegram and pick a service and a country.
2. Top up the balance in the bot with CryptoBot or xRocket.
3. Pay for the activation from the balance — the number and the SMS code arrive in the chat.
