Wise asks for a phone number at sign-up — and often again when you set up a new currency balance, initiate a large transfer, or log in from an unrecognised device. If you'd rather keep your personal number off yet another fintech platform, or if your Wise account region doesn't match your SIM's country code, a rented virtual number on a real SIM card gives you a clean, private verification line that works every time.

At Codessender, you can rent a private, real SIM-based phone number specifically for Wise verification — starting at $0.39 per day, with rental periods of 7 or 30 days. The number is exclusively yours for the entire rental window: no one else receives SMS on that line, and every verification code Wise sends lands directly in your dashboard. This guide covers how it works, which countries are available, and how to pick the right number for your Wise account.

Why Rent a Number for Wise Instead of Using Your Own SIM

Wise is a financial institution that moves real money across borders — not a messaging app. Linking your personal phone number to it creates a permanent bridge between your identity and your international transfers. A rented virtual number gives you several practical advantages:

Keep your personal number private. No spam calls, no marketing messages, no cross-platform tracking tied back to your main SIM. Your personal line stays clean.
Region matching for smoother verification. If your Wise account is registered in Europe but your SIM is from elsewhere, a local virtual number from the same region avoids delivery delays and carrier-level filtering that can block OTP codes.
Dedicated line for fintech. Separate your banking and transfer notifications from your daily messaging — cleaner inbox, fewer distractions, better focus.
Multi-account management. Freelancers, remote workers, and business owners running multiple Wise accounts can assign a unique rented number to each profile, keeping verification codes organised in one dashboard.
Privacy-respecting by design. No personal identity tied to the verification number, and no permanent record left behind once the rental ends.
Reliable for ongoing 2FA. Wise sends login confirmations and transfer authorisation codes throughout the life of your account. A rented number catches every one of them during the rental window.

How Wise Phone Rental Works on Codessender

Unlike one-time SMS activation — where the number disappears after a single code — phone rental gives you exclusive access to a number for a full 7 or 30 days. This matters for Wise because the platform sends multiple types of SMS over time, not just the initial sign-up OTP:

Initial account verification code during registration
Login confirmation codes when accessing your account from a new device or browser
Transfer authorisation codes for large or unusual transactions
Currency balance setup confirmations
Account recovery codes if you ever need to regain access
Security alert notifications

The underlying technology is a real physical SIM card hosted in Codessender's infrastructure — not a VoIP line. That distinction is critical because Wise, as an FCA-regulated financial institution, actively filters VoIP number ranges. A real SIM passes verification the same way a regular phone would, and SMS delivery is consistently reliable across all supported operators.

The rental process is straightforward: you pick a country, choose 7 or 30 days, and the number appears in your dashboard instantly. During the rental period, every SMS Wise sends to that number appears in your Codessender dashboard in real time — typically within 5 to 30 seconds. When the rental expires, the number is released. You can renew before expiry if you need it longer.

Step-by-Step: How to Rent a Number for Wise

Renting a number for Wise verification takes under two minutes. Here's the exact process:

Step 1 — Go to the Wise Rental Page

Visit the Wise rental section on Codessender. You'll see the full list of available countries, operators, daily prices, and current stock counts — all updated in real time.

Step 2 — Pick a Country That Matches Your Wise Region

For the best SMS delivery, match your number's country to your Wise account region. If your Wise account is registered in the UK, pick a UK number. If it's registered in the EU/EEA, pick any EU country — Germany, France, Spain, and the Netherlands all offer excellent coverage. Region matching minimises the chance of carrier filtering and keeps OTP delivery fast.

Step 3 — Select Rental Duration (7 or 30 Days)

Choose 7 days if you mainly need the number for initial registration and occasional login confirmations. Pick 30 days if you use Wise regularly and want to catch every transfer authorisation code, login notification, and security alert on the same dedicated line. The 30-day option costs less per day in most cases.

Step 4 — Complete the Rental

Your rented number appears in your Codessender dashboard immediately after payment. It's exclusively yours — no one else receives SMS on that line during your rental period.

Step 5 — Enter the Number in Wise

Copy the number from your dashboard and paste it into the Wise registration or verification screen. The OTP code arrives in your dashboard — typically within 5 to 30 seconds.

Step 6 — Use the Number Throughout Your Rental Period

Every SMS Wise sends — verification codes, transfer authorisations, login confirmations, and security alerts — lands in your Codessender dashboard for the full duration of your rental.

Rental vs One-Time SMS Activation: Which One for Wise?

Codessender offers both one-time SMS activation and longer-term phone rental. Here's how to decide:

Scenario	Best Option	Why
One-time Wise sign-up only	One-time SMS activation	Cheaper for a single code — pay once, done
Regular Wise usage with transfers	Phone rental	You'll need the same number for transfer authorisation codes and login confirmations
Managing multiple Wise accounts	Phone rental	Rent one dedicated number per account — all codes in one dashboard
Short-term project or freelance gig	Phone rental (7 days)	Covers the full project window without overcommitting
Ongoing personal or business Wise use	Phone rental (30 days)	Best value per day, catches every SMS across a full month

For most Wise users, rental is the better long-term choice. Wise sends multiple SMS messages over the life of an account — a rented number catches every single one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Wise accept virtual numbers?

Yes — when those numbers are based on real physical SIM cards. Wise, as an FCA-regulated financial institution, may reject VoIP numbers. Codessender rental numbers run on real SIM infrastructure, so they pass Wise's verification checks the same way a regular mobile phone would.

How long can I rent a number for?

You can rent a number for 7 days or 30 days. Both options give you exclusive access — no one else can receive SMS on your rented number during that window.

Can I extend my rental if I need the number longer?

Yes. You can renew your rental before it expires directly from your Codessender dashboard. The same number stays assigned to you.

Which country should I choose for Wise?

Match the country to your Wise account's registered region. For UK accounts, pick a UK number. For EU accounts, Germany offers the most operator redundancy, while Sweden and Bulgaria are the cheapest options. The table above lists every available country with current pricing.

Can I rent multiple numbers for multiple Wise accounts?

Yes. You can rent as many numbers as you need — each one appears separately in your dashboard with its own SMS thread.

Is phone rental better than one-time SMS activation for Wise?
