The basics
How fast is the number live?
Answer
Median time from confirmed payment to a working line is 41 seconds. HushSMS provisions automatically end to end: there is no manual review queue, no business-hours dependency and no approval step a human could be slow about.
The longer version
Almost all of that elapsed time is the blockchain, not us. Solana and Tron confirm in seconds, Lightning effectively instantly, Bitcoin in minutes at normal fee levels — pick the asset accordingly if you are in a hurry. The provisioning itself is a write to a routing table and a row in a stock ledger, which takes milliseconds. Providers with slower activation are usually running a fraud review, and a fraud review is a thing you only need when you have collected identity to review.
