Burn-after-read +1 lines for minutes-only USA OTP: one QA smoke test, one listing, one retry while traveling — then inventory recycles. Not a kept US profile.
This hub is for throwaway timing. You need a +1 SMS once — staging a US-gated feature, posting one marketplace listing that demands an American code, or recovering a failed capture while traveling — then you are done. The line is rented for that minutes-to-hours window and released.
Think single-session work: smoke-test a US App Store build, confirm a seller draft that expires tonight, or re-send one OTP you will never open again. If next week’s login still expects the same American MSISDN, pick the other USA hub.
Workflow is capture-and-discard. Order → paste → read code → close the tab. Primary USA stock first when messengers are picky; failover pool only if primary is empty. No multi-week hold, no “keep this as my US profile.”
Skip standing DIDs, inbound voice, and consumer rentals. Non-US countries belong on the global temporary-number catalog. Kept United States account presence belongs on /usa-phone-number/.
Billing note: metered OTP capture (often from $0.02), wallet timeouts credit back automatically — reserve a line, enter it on the app, read the code in console. Catalog spans 2,200+ apps across 200+ countries where stock exists. Avoid public SMS inboxes; they recycle numbers across strangers.
No. It is burn-after-read. When the capture window ends, the reservation returns to inventory. Place a fresh order for the next one-off signup.
One QA smoke test, one time-boxed marketplace listing, one travel retry after a failed code, or any minutes-only +1 you will never open again. Not multi-login US profile work.
No. Temp USA is a short session reservation, not a carrier contract or standing DID. Voice minutes and multi-week rentals are out of scope.
Leave when the product still treats you as a United States user on later visits or renewals. Stay here only for single-session disposal.
