Receive SMS online for Nexon verification – Virtual Number for SMS Verification
Nexon has been shipping online games since 1996, when it launched what's widely credited as the first graphical MMORPG, and it went on to help define the free-to-play, microtransaction-funded model that most online games now run on. The catalog it built on that model runs deep: MapleStory has stayed a fixture since 2003, Dungeon Fighter Online became one of the highest-grossing games ever made, and KartRider turned kart racing into a long-running franchise of its own, all published across more than a hundred countries.
The newest arrival changed the shape of the company almost overnight. ARC Raiders, built by Nexon's Embark Studios and launched in late 2025, became the biggest new game release in Nexon's history, selling more than 14 million copies within about three months and pulling in a peak of roughly 960,000 people playing at once. Full-year 2025 revenue hit a record for the company, with MapleStory posting its strongest growth in over two decades right alongside the new release.
A unified Nexon Account is what ties all of that together, letting a player move between MapleStory, ARC Raiders, and everything else in the library through one login rather than a separate one per game. In-game spending runs through NX Cash, a purchasable currency used across the catalog for the optional Cash Shop rather than through subscriptions.
Registering that account confirms a phone number by SMS, a standard security and age-gating step across most of Nexon's titles. Someone setting up an account mainly to try ARC Raiders or catch up on MapleStory, rather than tying a gaming login to the number already saved in everyone's contacts, might prefer that verification step go through a separate line.
How to buy a virtual phone number for Nexon
On 5SIM, Nexon's service entry pairs with a country search the same way any listing does; pick a country actually holding stock and the operators serving it appear, each with a price, an available quantity, and an SMS delivery rate.
Buy the number that fits and it lands in your active order right away. Enter it on Nexon's verification screen, and the SMS arrives in that same order.
Cancel an order before it's used and the refund lands in your 5SIM balance right away; an expired one refunds the same way on its own.
