Buying a Kaito number, in practice

A Kaito number is in stock in 7 countries right now, 477K lines in total, and the entry price is $0.10 in Poland. 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 7 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.

Nothing is charged until the Kaito code lands. The price is held against your balance while the number is live and released automatically if the window closes empty, so the cost of being wrong about a country is a wait rather than money. Balances are topped up in crypto, $20.00 minimum, with nothing added on top.
