Buying MSISDN numbers in the UK
If I want a UK number to receive text messages, who should I be using? The last time I bought MSISDN numbers, I used…
gosh let me try and remember.
ZIM something. Somebody ZIM.
I’ll get it in a moment……. trying to think.
ZIM EPL! That’s it. They had a pretty good amount of gold, silver and bronze numbers and online activation, last time I looked.
I also used FastSMS as well.
Do you have any recommendations for other suppliers of UK MSISDN numbers?


All the mainstream UK aggregators should be able to offer them..

Posted by Steve Procter on November 19th, 2007 at 5:52 pm.Yep… we are now selling many MMS activated MSISDNs - forwarding images, video and audio to email or via HTTP POST to webservers. Works very well for multimedia blogging and public sector (councils etc).
