Note: The desktop website currently doesn’t offer annual plans. You need to go to the →APP to make the purchase; only the APP offers annual plans.
1. Saily: The only drawback of this number is that it’s randomly assigned. Not long ago, the monthly plan was $0.99 per month.
2. The monthly plan has now increased to $1.99 per month. (It’s still nice to save a little money during the first year.)
3. Fortunately, an annual plan is now available too. You can use my discount code: CHENYU6350 to get it for $4.99 per year. (New users receive $2.02, plus another $5 off with my discount code.)
The process is as follows: You only need to purchase the number; you don’t need data, as data is relatively expensive.
Be sure to enter the promo code above first. Once you see “-US¥5.00” displayed where it appears in the original poster’s screenshot, click “Pay with voucher credit” above. Do not select voucher credit first.
Although Saily can receive PayPal verification codes, it’s still a virtual number. The last time I tried to get a US student email address and used its number, I was rejected outright.
