On December 29, 2025, many users faced the fact that SMSHUB and SMS-Activate were not working. Both platforms simultaneously announced the complete closure of their brands. As a result, thousands of SIM card providers were suddenly left without a source of income, and the SMS verification market faced a shortage of stable platforms for monetizing SIM cards. However, the demand for receiving SMS did not disappear. In 2026, SMStoProxy and HUB-MAN became a reliable alternative to SMSHUB, allowing SIM card owners to quickly return to earning and continue working under more profitable and transparent conditions.
Why a stable sim card supplier network matters more than price
The cheapest number is useless if it’s already been used to register the same service three times. What you’re really paying for is the supplier side: the network of SIM card owners feeding the platform.
A serious sim card supplier base means:
- Fresh, unrecycled numbers for high-sensitivity services (WhatsApp, Telegram, Tinder).
- Regional depth — multiple operators per country, so one carrier blocking SMS doesn’t kill your flow.
- Higher success rate, usually 85–95%, vs. 50–60% on shady aggregators.
This is exactly the side of the business that collapsed when SMSHUB and SMS-Activate went down at the end of 2025 — suppliers had nowhere to plug in. Platforms that absorbed those suppliers (SMStoProxy being one of them) inherited both the inventory and the uptime.
How earning on SIM cards works via SMStoProxy
SMStoProxy ensures fast and secure delivery of SMS codes from SIM card providers directly to clients. The platform acts as a technical intermediary, automating the process of receiving and selling SMS codes for account registration and verification in popular online services such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Uber, Discord, Tinder, and more.
SIM card providers contact our team to discuss terms, and we integrate them into the system within a single day. Each SIM card seller can choose a monetization model, set a price per code, and earn income for every successfully received message. SMStoProxy, in turn, ensures a stable flow of clients with a user base of over 3 million.
Why SMStoProxy is a real alternative to SMSHUB in 2026
After the closure of SMSHUB and SMS-Activate, it is especially important to choose a platform that does not rely on unstable solutions and offers a long-term working model. SMStoProxy has been operating since 2016 and has always focused on sustainable SIM card monetization, with a positive reputation and years of experience in the field.
Key Advantages of SMStoProxy:
- Flexible pricing for each SMS code

Continue earning with SMStoProxy as your SMSHUB alternative
In 2025, a SIM card provider’s income depends on the number of numbers, countries, and demand for specific services. After major players left the market, competition decreased, allowing active providers to increase profitability.
SMStoProxy allows adjusting prices according to current demand and earning a stable income even with a small number of SIMs. This makes the platform convenient for both former SMSHUB partners and new providers.
A reliable partner for SIM card suppliers
So, SMStoProxy is not just a replacement for the closed services but a full-fledged partner for long-term earnings. The platform ensures data security, stable infrastructure operation, and timely payments, which is especially important after the market instability at the end of 2025.
Conclusion
The closure of SMSHUB and SMS-Activate left many SIM card providers without income, but the market quickly adapted. In 2025, SMStoProxy serves as a reliable alternative, allowing providers to earn on every received SMS code again, maintain full control over the process, and work with a trusted platform.
