Select a currently listed Iran +98 number and open its SMS inbox. Public options are free and shared; rental and code-locked options have separate access rules. Iran’s official E.164 plan uses national prefix 0 for domestic calls, and that prefix must not be dialled from abroad, so an international number uses +98 without the domestic leading 0.

Iran’s national prefix 0 must be removed in international format
The Communications Regulatory Authority’s numbering plan, published through the ITU, states that Iran uses national prefix 0 for domestic calls and that it must not be dialled from abroad. Therefore a domestic mobile form beginning 09… is written internationally as +98 9….
Use the current +98 numbering plan rather than old format guides
Iran’s regulator continues to publish updated E.164 numbering information. The 2026 ITU bulletin lists country code +98, international prefix 00, national prefix 0, and a two-digit national destination code structure. Old examples should not override the current international-format rule.
Iran receive-SMS search results mix free inboxes and paid activations
Current English results include free receive-SMS pages, pay-per-activation products, and rented virtual numbers. MyTempSMS distinguishes these access modes: public inboxes are free and shared, while rental and code-locked options can have separate prices or conditions.
A correctly formatted +98 number can still be rejected
Formatting is only one part of SMS verification. A sender may block shared or virtual numbers, and international routing or sender policy can prevent a message from reaching a listed +98 inbox. MyTempSMS does not promise compatibility with any specific platform.
Check these items before retrying an Iran SMS
- Use +98 followed by the national significant number without the domestic trunk 0.
- Confirm the exact number and access type on the current detail page.
- Refresh the inbox after the sender confirms dispatch.
- If no message arrives, consider sender filtering or route availability instead of repeatedly requesting new codes.
Frequently asked questions
Do I keep the 0 after +98 for an Iranian number?
No. Iran’s national prefix 0 is used domestically and must not be dialled from abroad. Use +98 followed by the national significant number.
How do I write an Iranian 09 mobile number internationally?
Remove the domestic 0 and add +98, so a domestic 09… form becomes +98 9….
Can I use a free Iran number to receive SMS online?
Yes, when a public Iran number is currently listed. The inbox is free to use but shared and subject to changing availability.
Does +98 guarantee that the number is an Iranian mobile SIM?
No. The country code identifies Iran, but it does not prove the number’s current technology, carrier, or non-VoIP status.
Why was my +98 verification number rejected?
The sender may block shared, virtual, or previously used numbers. Correct international formatting does not guarantee acceptance.
Can I rely on a public Iran number for long-term 2FA?
No. Public numbers can change or disappear and messages can be visible to other visitors, making them unsuitable for durable two-factor recovery.
