Akudo virtual numbers for SMS verification

Buying an Akudo number, in practice

An Akudo number is in stock in 15 countries right now, 10K lines in total, and the entry price is $0.07 in Malawi. The price gap between countries is not arbitrary: it follows what the local networks charge and how often they actually deliver, which is why the table above shows both next to each other.

Sorting by price and taking the cheapest of the 15 countries is the most common way to spend more than you meant to. Cheap tracks abundance, and abundance usually tracks the places a platform has already learned to distrust. The top of the table is ordered by what delivers rather than by price alone, which is why it is the sensible place to start even when something further down is a few cents less.

At volume, the same catalogue is readable over the API: one key, a bearer token, and live prices for Akudo in any country as JSON. It is the same prices and the same stock the page shows — there is no separate wholesale list — which is what makes it usable for reselling as much as for automating your own sign-ups.
