Howzat is fantasy cricket and nothing else, which in India is not a limitation. Around 40 million people use it to build squads from real fixtures and follow their points move with what happens on the field. It belongs to Games24x7, a company built around data science and behavioural modelling rather than marketing, and that shows in how the app handles player valuations and contest structure.
Cricket rewards this format better than any other sport. A Test match runs five days, a T20 turns on a single over, and the gap between the two gives a fantasy player completely different problems to solve. Picking a squad means weighing recent form against the surface, deciding whether a spinner is worth a place on a pitch that will turn on day three, and choosing a captain whose points double. Most of a match is not decisive, and having a stake in individual performances is what makes the quiet middle overs worth watching.
2026 rewrote the terms. Under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, Howzat ended cash contests, and rewards now arrive as virtual chips that stay in the app, with prizes taking the form of gadgets, vouchers and merchandise instead. The adjustment across the industry was severe, and Games24x7 cut around 70 percent of its workforce as the model changed underneath it. Fantasy itself remains legal across 28 states, and what is left is the game as a game.
Setting up an account confirms a phone number by SMS. The cricket calendar then drives everything the number receives: deadline reminders before a toss, notifications when a squad locks, and results as points settle after a match. During a full season that arrives daily. Take the confirmation on an additional number and the traffic keeps its own line. It reaches you inside your 5SIM order, while your teams, contests and history stay in Howzat.
How to buy a virtual phone number for Howzat
Choose Howzat in the service list on 5SIM. The countries stocked for it right now load next. Pick one and the operators available for that country and service pairing appear.
Each operator line carries price, available quantity and SMS delivery rate side by side. Take all three together. A cheap line running low with a weak recent record often needs a second attempt, which costs more than the difference saved.
The number you buy waits in your active order. Enter it in the Howzat phone field, request the SMS, and the message lands in that order window. Orders stay active for roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
If nothing turns up, cancel the unused active order and your payment returns to the 5SIM balance at once. An unused order left to run out refunds by itself.
