## Start with the one that matches your situation

Each is written for a decision somebody is trying to make this week, and each says where a shared number is the wrong answer.

- **How to share login codes with your team** — Read this if verification texts for a company account keep landing on one colleague’s phone and you want a practical way to stop it.
- **Should you use an employee’s personal phone number?** — Read this before you put a colleague’s mobile on a shared company account, because it sets out exactly what breaks when they are away or they leave.
- **5 best shared SMS inbox services for teams** — Read this if you are comparing tools and want an honest account of what each one is for, including the cases where ours is not the right fit.

## If you wanted a straight answer instead

The guides take a few minutes each. These pages take less.

- [What a shared SMS inbox is](https://sharedsmsinbox.com/shared-sms-inbox) — The plain definition of the thing the guides keep referring to, and who it suits.
- [Shared phone number for teams](https://sharedsmsinbox.com/shared-phone-number-for-teams) — Why it matters that the company owns the number rather than a person.
- [Login codes for teams](https://sharedsmsinbox.com/login-codes-for-teams) — The specific problem of verification texts arriving on one employee’s phone.
- [How it works](https://sharedsmsinbox.com/how-it-works) — The four steps, from signing up to receiving your first message.
- [Pricing](https://sharedsmsinbox.com/pricing) — $49/month per phone number, however many teammates need access.
- [Security and access](https://sharedsmsinbox.com/security) — Who can read your messages, how long they are kept, and what we do not claim.

## You can read all three, or just get the number

Move one shared account onto a company number and see whether the interruptions stop. It takes a few minutes and you can undo it.
