How to set up Sharing SMS: step-by-step instructions

  1. Buy SIM card(s) of local mobile operators with a minimum package of prepaid services.
  2. Insert the SIM cards into Android devices with Android version 6 and above. Check for network registration.
  3. Create a partner account in the personal cabinet of the site.
  4. From the personal cabinet download the application (APK-file) from the link.
  5. Install the Sharing SMS application on your devices and be sure to provide all necessary permissions* for the correct operation of the application.
  6. On launch, you will be prompted to make Sharing SMS the default SMS sharing app. For earlier versions of Android, this is required to receive SMS. Therefore, it is recommended to do this. You can also do this in the app settings.
  7. Add SIM numbers to the app by pressing the (+) button. Confirmation of the number is automatic, without the need to enter the code from the SMS.

The added numbers can have the following statuses: Active or Inactive.

Inactive status means that the number is not yet available for rent.
Active status means that the number has been rented and charges are being made.

Please note! After adding a number, the “Number Stability Assessment” mode is activated – the platform monitors the stability of your number for a certain period of time, usually ten days. If there are no availability problems during this period, your number will become available for rent. Once your number is available for rent, you can start earning.

  1. Turn off the power saving or battery optimization mode on your device (thanks to this mode Android can limit the application’s work in the background, or unload it from the phone’s memory at all).

To do this, in the Sharing SMS settings, click IGNORE BATTERY OPTIMIZATION and allow to turn off battery optimization for the application.

Next, in the app settings, tap OPEN APP SETTINGS > on the About screen, search for Activity Control, either Battery Usage or Battery. Unrestrict the app from running in the background and disallow launches to save power.

9. From the additional actions that increase the stability of the application, you can also fix/lock it in RAM.
To do this, call up recent applications using the hardware menu button. Hold your finger on the application window until the buttons are displayed > press the lock button.

10. Make sure in Android settings that power saving/power saving mode is turned off. And battery optimization is disabled for Sharing SMS. You can use the existing phone settings search to quickly access these settings.

11. Check in your device settings that network connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) is not disabled in sleep mode when the screen is turned off.

Depending on the OS of the device, this action may differ, for example:

  • Xiaomi – open Security > Settings (gear in the top corner) > Acceleration > Pinned apps > select from the list.
  • Huawei – open running apps > swipe down on the app window.
  • Oppo, Realme, OnePlus – call running apps > menu above the app window > Lock.

12. Add your email address to your account profile in your personal cabinet. We strongly recommend that you do this. Email is needed so that we can inform you about changes in the status of SIM card numbers, about so-called incidents when the application does not communicate with the server or the number is unavailable.

13. Add your USDT/USDC wallet address in your personal profile for cash payments.
