Free number for Bonus Buddy: free vs paid
Free Bonus Buddy numbers exist, but they are shared: the number is published on a public page, every visitor reads the same inbox, and Bonus Buddy has usually seen it many times before. Below is when a free number is good enough, when it isn't, and the cheapest private number that works instead.

Why free Bonus Buddy numbers usually fail
A public number is used by thousands of visitors. By the time you find it, it is almost always tied to someone else's Bonus Buddy account.
Numbers that receive codes for many different accounts get flagged, and popular free numbers are the first to be refused — often the code is simply never sent.
The inbox is a public web page. Whoever loads it after you can read the code and finish the signup — or reset the account later.
Free inboxes have no support and no refund, because nothing was paid. If the code doesn't come, you have only lost the time.

Free Bonus Buddy number questions
Is there a free phone number that works for Bonus Buddy?
Occasionally, but you should not count on one. Public receive-SMS websites publish a handful of numbers for everyone to share, and Bonus Buddy sees the same numbers being used again and again. Most of them are already tied to an existing Bonus Buddy account or have been refused as virtual, so the code never arrives.
Does SMSPin give out free numbers for Bonus Buddy?
No. We don't run a public inbox, because a number anyone can read is a number anyone can use to take over the account you create with it. What we sell instead is the cheapest private option: a number only you can see, from $0.04, refunded automatically if Bonus Buddy never sends the code.
Why is a shared number risky for a Bonus Buddy account?
Every code sent to it is visible to every visitor of the page it is published on. Whoever reads your code can finish your signup, and later, whoever asks Bonus Buddy for a password reset on that number receives the reset code too. The account is only as private as the inbox.
When is a free public number good enough for Bonus Buddy?
When nothing about the account matters: testing that your own app sends an SMS, checking what a message looks like, or a throwaway sign-up you will never log back into. Never for anything holding money, messages, contacts or your identity.
What is the cheapest paid alternative for Bonus Buddy?
$0.04 on the cheapest country in the table on this page, out of 2 countries with Bonus Buddy numbers in stock right now. That buys one private number for one Bonus Buddy code; nothing is charged if the code doesn't arrive.
Do I need a subscription to get a private Bonus Buddy number?
No. You add a balance and pay per number. There is no monthly plan and nothing to cancel afterwards.
What if I need to receive Bonus Buddy codes again later?
Then neither a free number nor a one-code number is right — rent one instead. A rented number stays assigned to you for the whole rental and receives every SMS sent to it, so logins and resets keep working.
Why does a private Bonus Buddy number cost more in some countries?
The price follows supply. Countries with plenty of numbers that Bonus Buddy accepts are cheap; countries with few are dearer. The price shown on each row is the one you are charged, because the table is read from live stock rather than typed in.
