中文Temporary Phone Number for NCsoft
Updated 4 min read
Every NCsoft title, from Lineage to Guild Wars and the incoming Aion 2, sits behind one login that asks for SMS verification the first time you sign in. A temporary virtual number for that single step is a practical option, keeping it off your everyday line. 5SIM shows available NCsoft numbers and delivers the SMS straight to your dashboard.
Receive SMS online for NCsoft verification – Virtual Number for SMS Verification
NCsoft has been publishing MMORPGs since Lineage launched in 1998, and the catalog built since then reads like a history of the genre: Lineage II, Guild Wars, Aion, Blade & Soul, and more recently Throne and Liberty, which found a bigger audience abroad than it did at home. In 2004 the company's North American arm launched two full MMORPGs, Lineage II and City of Heroes, on the same day, a scheduling feat no other publisher in the genre has matched before or since.
One account signs a player into every title in that library through a single launcher, so switching between Guild Wars 2 and a newer release doesn't mean juggling separate logins. The mobile side of the business has scaled just as far: Lineage M alone crossed billions of dollars in lifetime player spending, and its sequel topped $150 million in gross revenue within three months of launch.
2026 brings a genuinely new entry to that lineup. Aion 2, built on the Aion series that's run since 2008, is expected to launch globally on PC and mobile in the second half of the year as a free-to-play title, following a run of strong quarters for the older Guild Wars 2 alongside it.
Getting into that account system starts with a phone number confirmed by SMS, the standard way NCsoft ties one login to one real signup across its whole catalog. Someone setting up an account mainly for Guild Wars or the newer Aion release, rather than folding it into a number already tied to everything else, might prefer that verification step land on a line set aside just for it.
How to buy a virtual phone number for NCsoft
NCsoft and a country make up the two filters 5SIM needs before it shows any operators. Once both are set, the list fills in, a price, an available quantity, and an SMS delivery rate attached to every operator serving that pairing.
Buy the number that fits and it lands in your active order right away. Enter it on NCsoft's verification screen, and the SMS arrives in that same order.
Nothing is lost either way: cancel an unused order for an immediate refund, or let it expire on its own, since that also returns the balance without any extra step.

Compare NCsoft Numbers by Country, Operator and SMS Delivery Rate
Pick NCsoft and a country on 5SIM, and the operators serving that pairing appear with a price, a remaining quantity, and a delivery rate attached to each row.
Treat the percentage as a scorecard, not a guarantee: 71% for NCsoft through a given country and operator means 71 of its last 100 orders ended with the SMS actually arriving. A cheaper operator sitting well below that figure usually isn't the better deal once a retry is factored in.
