SMS & Phone Settings

Complete guide on the SMS & Phone Settings options

The SMS & Phone tab lets you connect third-party phone/SMS verification providers to Stellar. These services are used when a site requires a one-time verification code (OTP) sent to a phone number (SMS/voice) during actions like:

• Account creation (ex: new accounts that require phone verification)

• Login verification (rare on some sites, common on account generators)

• Security challenges / confirmation prompts

Once connected, Stellar can request numbers, receive codes, and apply them during tasks—so you don’t have to manually manage texts.

What You’ll See in Settings → SMS & Phone

This section includes connection fields for supported providers:

• TextVerified Credentials (format: email:apiKey)

• SMS Man API Key

• Daisy SMS API Key

• Hero SMS API Key

• SMSPool API Key

• VOIP.MS Email

• VOIP.MS API Password

• Text Chest API Key

Some providers include a Get Balance button to confirm your key is valid and that your account has credits.

---

When Do I Need This?

You only need SMS & Phone if you’re doing something that requires phone verification.

Common examples:

• Account Generator tasks that prompt for SMS verification

• Sites that require a phone OTP during signup

• Any module that includes an SMS Input / Phone Verification option inside task creation

If you’re not generating accounts or not running modules that require phone OTPs, you can ignore this tab.

Before You Start (Important)

1) Use a supported provider

Pick one provider you want to use (you don’t need them all).

2) Add funds/credits

Most providers require credits for each SMS. If your balance is $0, you’ll get number/code failures.

3) Use the correct key format

Each provider uses a different credential format. Copy/paste carefully—most issues come from formatting mistakes.

---

Quick Setup (Recommended)

If you just want the fastest, most beginner-friendly setup:

1. Choose one provider (TextVerified is common for account generation).

2. Create an account on that provider’s website.

3. Add funds/credits.

4. Copy your API credentials.

5. Paste them into Settings → SMS & Phone.

6. Click Get Balance (if available) to confirm it works.

7. In your task, select that provider under SMS Input (or the module’s phone verification field).

How to Use SMS & Phone Inside Tasks

When a module supports phone verification, you’ll typically see something like:

• SMS Input

• Phone Provider

• SMS Provider

• OTP Method

• Verification Method

Typical flow

1. Open task creation for the module you’re using (ex: Account Generator).

2. Locate the phone verification field (ex: SMS Input).

3. Select your provider (TextVerified / SMSMan / etc.).

4. Start the task.

5. Stellar will:

   • Request a number (if the provider supports it)

   • Wait for the OTP

   • Auto-fill or continue the flow when the code arrives

Manual fallback

If the module supports manual OTP entry, you can usually select Manual and type codes yourself when prompted.

Best Practices

• Use one provider consistently at first (less troubleshooting).

• Keep credits loaded—many failures are simply low balance.

• Don’t run huge batches if your provider can’t supply numbers quickly (scale up gradually).

• If a provider is rate-limiting or out of stock for a service, switch providers temporarily.

---

Troubleshooting

“Get Balance” fails / returns nothing

Likely causes

• Invalid API key

• Wrong credential format (especially TextVerified)

• Provider is temporarily down

• You pasted extra spaces

Fix

• Re-paste credentials carefully (no spaces)

• Confirm the key is active in the provider dashboard

• Try again in a minute

• If it still fails, test a different provider

---

Task says “No numbers available”

Likely causes

• Provider is out of stock for that service/country

• You selected a region/service not supported by the provider at the moment

Fix

• Retry with a different provider

• Try a different region (if your module supports it)

• Wait a few minutes and retry

---

Task stuck “Waiting for SMS / OTP”

Likely causes

• SMS delayed

• Wrong provider selected in task

• Provider delivered the code but task didn’t receive it due to timeout

• Site never sent a code (site-side issue)

Fix

• Cancel and restart the task

• Confirm the provider selected matches the provider configured in Settings

• Try a different provider

• Reduce batch size (too many requests at once)

---

“Insufficient balance” or verification purchase fails

Likely cause

• You’re out of credits

Fix

• Add funds to your provider

• Click Get Balance again (if available)

• Restart tasks

---

VOIP.MS not working

Likely causes

• Using the wrong password (needs API password)

• VOIP SMS setup isn’t enabled/compatible for your use case

Fix

• Confirm you used API Password

• Confirm your VOIP.MS account is configured to receive messages as needed
