One-time use temporary phone numbers are exactly as the name suggests, they are intended for a single use and are meant to be disposable.
They are typically used for quick, one-time SMS verifications and are not meant to be rented for a longer period of time. While there may be a very short window of opportunity for re-using a one-time phone number, it is typically only within the first 30 minutes of usage.
If you require multiple SMS verifications or a longer period of time, we recommend using our long-term rental option.
This option allows you to rent a phone number for a period of 7 days, 30 days, or even up to 12 weeks.
This service is available in select countries such as United States, United Kingdom, France and more. To access this option, you can head to the "[Long Term Rental](https://mobilesms.io/webapp/long-term-rental)" section of your dashboard. We are constantly working on expanding the availability of this service to more countries.
Please note that one-time use phone numbers are not eligible to be converted to a long-term rental.
