中文Temporary Phone Number for Manus
Updated 4 min read
Manus needs a phone number confirmed by SMS before its AI agent can start planning research, coding, or app-building work inside your cloud workspace. For that one step, a temporary virtual number offers a practical option: pick an additional number reserved for Manus, receive the SMS online, and monitor the active order from your 5SIM dashboard.

Manus is built to finish a job rather than just answer a question. Instead of chatting back and forth, it works inside its own cloud-based computer, complete with a browser, a terminal, and a file system, planning out a piece of research, a coding job, or a report and then carrying it through to a finished result on its own. A feature called Wide Research pushes that further, running many full-capability copies of the agent in parallel across pieces of one larger job rather than relying on narrow helper bots.
The product launched as an invite-only beta in March 2025, and demand outran supply fast enough that early invitations became something people actively sought out on their own, before the company opened access more broadly. Rather than training its own model from scratch, Manus orchestrates other companies' large language models behind the scenes, including Anthropic's Claude, to power the agent's planning and execution.
Growth since launch has been rapid by most accounts: reported annualized revenue climbed from roughly the tens of millions in mid-2025 into the hundreds of millions within about a year, running on a usage-based model where actions draw down a balance rather than a flat monthly fee alone. The company has also pushed into new formats, including a way to build and publish a working mobile app without traditional development tools.
Getting started confirms a phone number by SMS as part of account setup. Someone spinning up a Manus account to test agent workflows, or keeping an AI-assistant account separate from the number already tied to daily messages, can run that verification step through an additional virtual number instead.
