A +387 Number for Verification Codes, Without a Bosnian SIM
Yes, OTP Bolt can give you a Bosnia and Herzegovina (+387) number: Instant OTP receives one verification code from $0.20 per code, and a Dedicated Number you keep starts from $1.95/month. Instant OTP works right away for more than 1,600 apps, while a Bosnian Dedicated Number is handled on request after our team confirms availability, price and any local checks.
Living in Vienna, signing up for something back in Sarajevo
Picture a common situation. You moved from Tuzla to Austria or Germany years ago, your Bosnian SIM expired long ago, and now a service tied to family, property or a small business at home wants a +387 number before it lets you in. Your foreign number is either rejected or you would rather not hand it over.
Or you're on the other side of it: a developer in Banja Luka building an app for the local market, who needs fresh Bosnian numbers to test the sign-up screen without burning through colleagues' phones.
Both cases come down to the same need: a Bosnia and Herzegovina phone number for verification that you can reach from a browser. That's what OTP Bolt provides, in two forms.
Which apps can I verify with a +387 number?
Instant OTP in Bosnia and Herzegovina currently covers more than 1,600 apps. The ones people ask about most include:
- Viber, an everyday messenger across the Balkans, plus WhatsApp
- Telegram, Signal and Discord
- Google (Gmail and YouTube), Microsoft and Outlook
- Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and X (Twitter)
- LinkedIn for job hunting and recruiting
- ChatGPT (OpenAI) and Claude
- Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, Uber and Airbnb
The full, current list sits in the dashboard and on the Bosnia and Herzegovina country page. Coverage moves around, so check there rather than relying on an old screenshot.
Receiving one code: the five-step routine
To receive SMS online in Bosnia and Herzegovina with Instant OTP:
- Create an account with your email (you'll get a 6-digit code) or sign in with Google.
- Top up your wallet. The first top-up unlocks buying and shows the exact price for each app.
- Pick the app, then pick Bosnia and Herzegovina as the country.
- Copy the +387 number and paste it into the app's phone field.
- Watch the live inbox. The OTP normally lands within a minute or two.
Prices start from $0.20 per code and depend on the app. Every order runs on a 20-minute window: if no code shows up inside it, or you cancel before one arrives, the full amount returns to your wallet on its own. Once a code is delivered, that order is final.
No SMS after a few minutes? Try this
A silent inbox usually has a boring cause. Run through these before giving up:
- Check the number format. If the app's country picker already shows +387, paste only the digits after it.
- Use the resend option inside the app once. On some orders you can request another SMS to the same number.
- Cancel and try again. If the app refuses virtual numbers, cancelling returns your money, and a second attempt with a different number sometimes goes through.
- Switch country if the app keeps refusing Bosnian numbers and you don't specifically need +387.
We are not affiliated with any of these apps, and none of them works every single time. The refund rule exists exactly because some services filter numbers.
How Bosnian mobile numbers look in a sign-up form
Inside the country, mobile numbers are written with a leading 0 and an operator prefix in the 06x range, for example 061, 062, 063, 065 or 066, followed by six or seven more digits. In international format that 0 disappears, so 061 234 567 becomes +387 61 234 567.
Most apps want one of two things: the country set to Bosnia and Herzegovina with the national digits typed without the 0, or the whole number in one field starting with +387. Don't type both the code and the 0.
The country has three official languages, Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian, written in Latin and Cyrillic script. Depending on the app and your account settings, verification texts may arrive in one of these or in English. The numeric code is what matters, and it reads the same in every script.
Need the number again next month? Ask for a Dedicated Number
Instant OTP is built for a single code. If the account you're opening will ask for the same number at the next login, during a password reset or when you change devices, a one-off number is the wrong tool. That's where a second number you actually keep comes in.
Dedicated Numbers start from $1.95/month and include:
- a standing SMS inbox, so later login and recovery texts reach the same +387 number
- outbound calls placed straight from a Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari tab, without a SIM card or extra app
- inbound calls ringing in the browser, plus a call log
- prepaid terms renewed from your wallet, an email reminder before renewal, and the option to release the number whenever you like
Self-serve, instant activation applies only to the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico. Bosnia and Herzegovina is on request: use "Request a country" in the dashboard, and the OTP Bolt team will confirm whether a +387 number is available, what it costs, and whether local rules call for an address or ID check before activation. Timing varies, so plan ahead if a deadline is involved.
Testing a Bosnian sign-up flow through the API
If you build products for the Bosnian market, the REST API lets your QA scripts order a +387 Instant OTP number, poll for the incoming code and cancel unused orders with an API key. That makes it practical to run your own registration and phone-verification flow end to end on real local numbers. Endpoints and key setup are on the developers page.
Paying for codes and numbers
Everything runs from a prepaid USD wallet. You can top it up by card through Stripe checkout or with USDT or USDC. Nothing can be bought until the first top-up lands, and that same top-up reveals exact per-app prices for Bosnia and Herzegovina. PDF invoices arrive by email, which helps if the number is for a company.

Questions people ask
Can I get a Bosnian number if I live in Germany or Austria?
Yes. Instant OTP numbers for +387 work from anywhere, since the codes appear in your browser dashboard. A Dedicated Number for Bosnia and Herzegovina can be requested too, subject to availability and any checks our team flags.
How much does a Bosnia and Herzegovina virtual number cost?
Instant OTP starts from $0.20 per code, and the exact figure depends on the app. Dedicated Numbers start from $1.95/month, with the Bosnian price confirmed when you request one.
What happens if the code never arrives?
If nothing comes in within the 20-minute window, the order closes and the full price goes back to your wallet automatically. The same applies if you cancel before a code arrives.
Can I use the same +387 number for a second code later?
Don't count on it: an Instant OTP order is built around a single code. If you need the number again for logins or recovery, request a Dedicated Number instead.
Do I need a Bosnian ID to get a number?
Instant OTP doesn't ask for one. For a Dedicated Number, local rules may require an address or ID check, and the team tells you before activation.
Will the verification SMS be in Bosnian?
It depends on the app and your language settings. Texts may come in Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian or English, but the code itself is just digits.
Can I use OTP Bolt to open several accounts on one app?
No. Use each number for your own real account or your business, and follow every app's terms. OTP Bolt is meant for privacy, business sign-ups and testing your own product.
