SMS OTP Verification Australia: 160Verify Phone OTP API

What is 160Verify?

160Verify is a purpose-built mobile phone verification service. Unlike standard SMS messaging, it is engineered specifically for security, managing the entire lifecycle of One-Time Passwords (OTPs) to secure logins, registrations, and transactions.

SECURE AUTHENTICATION

Validate that a user is in possession of a specific mobile number in real-time. Perfect for 2FA, password resets, and transaction approvals.

LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT

We handle the complexity. Set OTP expiration times (TTL), length, and retry logic directly from the dashboard without writing extra code.

DETAILED ANALYTICS

Track every attempt. See exactly who matched, who failed, and who expired with granular status codes for audit and compliance.

WHY USE 160VERIFY?

More Than Just Sending SMS

Generic SMS gateways just “fire and forget.” 160Verify is intelligent. It maintains the state of every password sent.

Automatic Expiry: Codes automatically invalidate after your set time limit (e.g., 5 minutes).

Status Logic: Instant feedback on whether a code was “Matched” or “Failed” without database queries.

Developer-First Integration

We’ve done the heavy lifting so your team doesn’t have to. Integrate robust 2FA in minutes using our REST API.

Simple Endpoints: Just two calls—Send and Verify.

Audit Ready: Every verification attempt is logged with a specific status code (Matched, Failed, Expired) for easy debugging and security auditing.

When a user is waiting for a code, every second counts. 160Verify uses priority routing to ensure instant delivery.

Currently, the price is $20 per month for your own dedicated number.
