Privacy app
VNumbr vs MySudo: a MySudo alternative
MySudo is a privacy-focused app that lets you create separate profiles, each with its own phone number, email address and more, mainly for calls and messages inside the app. VNumbr is not an app or a communications suite. It sells a permanent number on a real mobile network whose incoming texts appear in a web dashboard, aimed at sign-ups, two-factor codes and account recovery.

Where VNumbr fits better
Numbers from real mobile networks
VNumbr numbers are allocated on real carrier networks, which some services treat more readily than app-based lines.
Readable from any browser
Incoming SMS appear in your dashboard and can also be read through an API, with no handset needed.
Pay in crypto
Checkout is by cryptocurrency or wallet balance, with no card details typed into the site.
Multiple countries
Choose the country whose prefix suits the account you are creating.
Choose MySudo instead when
- You want to make and receive calls and texts from an app on your phone.
- You want several complete contact profiles in one place.
- You prefer a mobile-first experience over a web dashboard.
Which should you pick: MySudo or VNumbr?
You need one code and never need the account again
MySudo or VNumbr OTP numbers both fit. Compare current prices for your app and country.
The account uses SMS two-factor authentication
Choose a number you keep. A VNumbr permanent number stays assigned to you while you renew, so later codes keep arriving.
You want to pay with cryptocurrency and sign up with just an email
VNumbr checkout is built around that. Check MySudo's current payment options if this matters to you.
You need voice calls or a full calling app
VNumbr numbers receive SMS only. If calling matters, an app built for it may suit you better.
Moving from MySudo to VNumbr
- 1Buy a number in the country your account expects.
- 2Open the account you want to move and find its phone number or security settings.
- 3Add the new number and confirm it with the SMS code that arrives in your VNumbr inbox.
- 4Only after the change is confirmed, let the old MySudo number lapse.

Common questions
Can a VNumbr number make calls?
No. VNumbr numbers are built for receiving SMS. Calling is not part of the service.
Do I need to install an app?
No. You read messages in your web dashboard, or pull them through the API.
Which one is more private?
They do different jobs. Read each provider's privacy policy. VNumbr does not share your data with third parties or with the mobile network operator.
Should I use MySudo and VNumbr together?
Many people do. A per-use or app-based service can cover a quick one-off, while a VNumbr permanent number covers accounts that need codes again later. They are not mutually exclusive.
Are VNumbr numbers real mobile numbers?
Yes. They are allocated on real mobile carrier networks rather than internet-based pools. Each app decides which numbers it accepts, so no provider can guarantee a result.
How do I pay and sign up at VNumbr?
Sign up with an email address, then pay with cryptocurrency through Cryptomus or NOWPayments, or from a wallet balance. No identity documents are required.
How do I switch from MySudo to VNumbr?
Buy a number, register it on the account you want to move, and update the verification number inside that app while your old number still works. Only then let the old one lapse.
Just need one code, not a number to keep?
This comparison is about VNumbr's permanent numbers. VNumbr also sells single-use OTP numbers billed per activation, for a one-off verification code.
