Why get a Seychelles (+248) number

Across Africa, mobile is the primary way people get online, pay and talk to businesses, so a local number is often the first point of contact.

With a +248 number you can serve Seychellois customers, suppliers and partners without opening an office in Victoria, and without asking anyone to pay for an international call.

Because it's a real number on the Seychelles telephone network, it works for normal calls and text messages — including one-time passcodes and verification SMS from apps and websites.

What's included with every Seychelles number

Receive as many SMS as you like — codes, alerts, replies
Send up to 500 texts a month
Call out for up to 1,000 minutes a month
Take unlimited calls from Seychelles and abroad
Plug into Zoiper, Linphone, 3CX or Asterisk with SIP
Forward calls to your own mobile
Dial from the browser — nothing to install
No contract; keep the number as long as you want

Works with WhatsApp, Facebook, Google, Telegram and more

Signing up to WhatsApp, Telegram or Google with a +248 number takes a minute: enter the number in the app, then read the code in your Smart Messaging dashboard as soon as it lands.

People use Seychelles numbers to run a separate business profile, keep a personal SIM private, or appear local to Seychellois contacts. If any app ever refuses the number in the first 7 days, you get a free replacement — that's our 7-day replacement guarantee.

Looking for a Seychelles virtual number?

Most people searching for a Seychelles virtual number want a +248 number they can use online, without a SIM card or a trip to Seychelles. Smart Messaging gives you exactly that — but on a real number from the Seychelles numbering plan, not an app-only line or a shared list.

You use it in your dashboard, in any SIP app or forwarded to your own phone, and it receives standard SMS and voice calls — which is why WhatsApp, Telegram, Google and Facebook verification codes arrive like on any mobile line. Read more: virtual number vs real mobile number.
