Agent use cases

Concrete things AI agents do with SIMRelay numbers. These aren't hypothetical — they're the workflows real users are building today.

Autonomous account creation

Agents signing up for SaaS tools on behalf of users (e.g., onboarding agents in a consumer-AI product). The signup form requires SMS verification; SIMRelay provides the number, the code, and the audit trail.

Multi-account operations

Workflows that legitimately require maintaining multiple accounts on a service — research, comparative testing, region-specific data collection. Each account needs its own phone number; SIMRelay manages them as a pool with per-account assignment.

Browser agents handling identity challenges

Browser-driving agents (computer-use, RPA bots) regularly encounter "we need to confirm it's you" SMS challenges during long sessions. Without a hosted number, the session dies waiting for human SMS retrieval. With SIMRelay, the agent claims and binds a number at session start and reads its own challenges.

Customer-support bots with phone fallback

Support agents that escalate to a human conversation by SMS when the chatbot is out of its depth. The agent owns a SIMRelay number per active customer thread, threads SMS replies back into the conversation log, and hands off to a human if needed.

Data-collection scrapers behind phone-gated content

Increasingly, public data sources gate access behind a "verified phone" requirement. For legitimate research and analysis, SIMRelay provides the verification primitive without needing to dedicate a human's personal phone to the project.

What we don't help with

We don't enable abuse: bulk fake-account creation, spam, fraud. SIMRelay terms of service prohibit those uses, and our trust-and-safety team will close accounts that hit those patterns. The framing of this section is "legitimate agent workflows that previously hit a phone-verification wall."
