How to track the status of your SMS verification code delivery on SMSVerifier?

You can easily track your SMS verification code delivery status on SMSVerifier via the dashboard or API, with real-time updates and automated refund handling if no SMS arrives.

How to Access Delivery Status on SMSVerifier

Tracking the status of your SMS verification code delivery on SMSVerifier is straightforward. Once you have purchased a virtual number and requested an OTP for your target service, the status updates become available in real-time.

Follow these steps:

• Log into your SMSVerifier dashboard.
• Navigate to the Active Orders section where your current purchases are listed.
• Locate the specific order ID corresponding to the virtual number and service you selected.
• View the status column to see if the SMS code has been received, is still waiting, or the order expired.

Understanding Delivery Statuses

SMSVerifier uses clear and consistent status labels to indicate the progress of your SMS verification code delivery. Here’s what each status means:

• Waiting: The SMS code has not arrived yet but the order is active.
• Received: The OTP SMS has been successfully delivered and is visible in your dashboard.
• Expired: The order timed out (usually after 20 minutes) without receiving an SMS; your balance will be refunded.
• Cancelled: The order was manually cancelled before SMS arrival.

Using the API to Track Status

Programmatic tracking is essential for developers integrating SMS verification into their workflows. SMSVerifier offers a robust API to query the status of your orders.

curl "https://smsverifier.com/stubs/handler_api.php?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&action=getStatus&id=ORDER_ID"

import requests

params = {
    "api_key": "YOUR_API_KEY",
    "action": "getStatus",
    "id": "ORDER_ID"
}

response = requests.get("https://smsverifier.com/stubs/handler_api.php", params=params)
print(response.text)

const response = await fetch("https://smsverifier.com/stubs/handler_api.php?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&action=getStatus&id=ORDER_ID");
const text = await response.text();
console.log(text);

Automated Notifications and Webhooks

To avoid constant polling, SMSVerifier supports webhook callbacks that notify your server instantly when the SMS code arrives.

Configure your webhook URL in your dashboard settings under API/Webhooks. The server will send a POST request with the order details and OTP as soon as the SMS is received.

Handling Undelivered Codes and Refunds

If the SMS verification code does not arrive within the allotted time (usually 20 minutes), SMSVerifier automatically refunds your balance for that order. This ensures you only pay for successful deliveries.

• Step 1 — Purchase number and request SMS Begin your verification process with a virtual number.
• Step 2 — Wait up to 20 minutes The system waits for SMS delivery, updating the status from 'waiting' to 'received' or 'expired'.
• Step 3 — Automatic refund if no SMS If no SMS arrives, your balance is refunded within seconds.
