The basics
How many countries can I get a number in?
Answer
HushSMS sells numbers in 68 countries across Europe, North and South America, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Every one of them receives SMS and inbound voice. Each country page publishes the real numbering-plan data — dial code, mobile prefixes, geographic area codes and national digit count — so the format can be checked before anything is paid.
The longer version
Coverage in this category is quoted loosely, and a provider claiming 150 countries is usually counting ones where a code sometimes arrives. The honest unit is a range we hold stock in and can provision from without asking anyone. Depth matters more than breadth once you are past the obvious markets: a country with a handful of numbers left will sell out of the pool you want and leave you with the pool you do not. Where a country appears on the site, the numbering data is the regulator's, published and checkable; the tiers and stock figures are ours.
