How much does a private phone number cost?
A private phone number from PrivacyNumber costs $7.49 per month at baseline, and most real lines land between roughly $3.58 and $16.18 per month depending on the country, line type, and billing period you choose. There is one one-time $10 setup fee on your first invoice, and nothing else — no per-text fees on inbound, no monthly minimums, no hidden surcharges.
The baseline mirrors Onoff's published consumer rate, so you are paying a fair market price for a real, long-term local line you keep — not a recycled gateway number. Inbound calls and SMS/MMS are included in the subscription; only outbound calls are billed separately at per-minute rates. Everything is crypto-only with no KYC at any step.

How is the price calculated? The four multipliers
Your monthly price is the $7.49 baseline multiplied by four factors: country tier, line type, billing period, and an optional premium-pattern surcharge. The math is fully transparent and shown in the panel before payment.
| Factor | Option | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Country tier | S premium | x1.35 |
| Country tier | A standard | x1.00 |
| Country tier | B budget | x0.85 |
| Line type | Mobile | x1.00 |
| Line type | Landline | x0.75 |
| Billing period | Monthly | x1.00 |
| Billing period | Quarterly (save 10%) | x0.90 |
| Billing period | Yearly (save 25%) | x0.75 |
| Premium pattern | Memorable / repeating digits | x1.60 |
Multiply the baseline by each factor that applies, then add the one-time $10 setup to your first invoice. A standard-tier (A) mobile billed monthly with no premium pattern is exactly the $7.49 baseline. See which country to pick if tier matters to your budget.
What are some worked pricing examples?
Here are concrete examples so you can see exactly how the multipliers stack. Each monthly figure is the recurring cost; remember the one-time $10 setup applies once on your first invoice.
| Number | Calculation | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| France mobile, monthly (tier A) | 7.49 x 1.00 x 1.00 x 1.00 | $7.49 |
| US mobile, monthly (tier S) | 7.49 x 1.35 x 1.00 x 1.00 | $10.11 |
| Romania mobile, yearly (tier B) | 7.49 x 0.85 x 1.00 x 0.75 | $4.77 |
| Germany landline, quarterly (tier A) | 7.49 x 1.00 x 0.75 x 0.90 | $5.06 |
| Budget landline, yearly (tier B) | 7.49 x 0.85 x 0.75 x 0.75 | $3.58 |
| Premium US mobile, monthly (tier S, pattern) | 7.49 x 1.35 x 1.00 x 1.00 x 1.60 | $16.18 |
The cheapest realistic line — a budget-tier landline billed yearly — works out to about $3.58/month, while a premium-pattern top-tier mobile billed monthly tops out near $16.18/month. Want a specific country? Open the US number page or France number page to confirm tier and availability.
What is included, and what costs extra?
Your subscription includes everything you need to use the line: inbound HD calls, SMS and MMS (send and receive), voicemail with transcription and translation, scheduled messages, on/off scheduling, caller-ID masking, and REST API + webhooks. Two things sit on top: outbound calls and optional AI add-ons.
- Outbound calls — billed per minute at standard destination rates, on top of the monthly subscription. Inbound is always free.
- AI auto-pickup — $4.99/month. An AI assistant answers and handles calls for you.
- AI call screening — $2.99/month. Filters spam and unknown callers before they reach you.
- AI voicemail summary — $1.99/month. Condenses voicemails into a quick readable summary.
- AI live translator — $4.99/month. Real-time call translation across 50+ languages.
Add-ons are optional and billed monthly; you can toggle them on or off at any time from the panel. PrivacyNumber is web-panel only — no app, no eSIM, no physical SIM — so everything works in any browser on any device. See the full feature set on the home page or the API docs.
How do I pay, and which cryptocurrencies are accepted?
PrivacyNumber is crypto-only — there are no cards, no bank transfers, and no PayPal. At human checkout you can pay with 9 coins: BTC, XMR, ETH, USDT (ERC-20 or TRC-20), USDC (ERC-20 or TRC-20), LTC, and TRX.
Whatever coin you send, the provider settles every payment to Monero (XMR) on its side, so the only thing recorded externally is the on-chain transaction itself. There is no KYC — no ID, no name, no address, no card. An email is used only as your panel login channel.
Autonomous AI agents can order and pay via x402 (USDC on Base) with no account at all. For step-by-step coin instructions, see Pay with Bitcoin or Pay with Monero. Full terms are in the terms of service.
How fast is activation, and can I cancel any time?
Activation takes under 60 seconds once your crypto payment confirms on-chain, and you can cancel any time by toggling auto-renew off in the panel — there are no cancellation fees and no claw-backs. You keep the number for as long as you keep paying; this is a real long-term line, not a temporary or burner number.
Refunds follow a clear policy: a 7-day window for unused service, pro-rated credit for any provider outage, all paid back in the same cryptocurrency you used. Honest caveat: most consumer apps and OTP flows accept these lines, but some VoIP-aware fintech apps (e.g. Venmo, CashApp) and certain banks or government portals run identity checks beyond SMS that no virtual provider can bypass. If a service rejects a freshly activated line, support swaps you to a different carrier range free within 7 days.
