tmpsms is a POSIX sh command-line utility for obtaining a temporary phone number and receiving SMS messages via Upmasked's temporary SMS service. It was aimed at privacy-conscious users and bug bounty hunters testing applications.

Use cases

  • receive SMS verification codes without giving out my real phone number
  • get a disposable phone number from the terminal for testing signups
  • test SMS-based flows during bug bounty hunting
  • protect my privacy when registering on websites requiring phone verification
  • script temporary phone number acquisition into my workflow

When to choose

  • you need a throwaway phone number for one-off signups or testing and have no alternative tool
  • you want a minimal POSIX sh script that integrates with other shell scripts

When to avoid

  • you need a working tool today - the upstream Upmasked service has shut down and tmpsms no longer functions
  • you need ongoing SMS receiving or long-term phone numbers
  • you expect maintenance or new features - the author has stated development is unlikely to resume
