Are these numbers safe to use in tests?

Yes. US numbers use the 555 exchange (555-0100 to 555-0199) which is reserved by NANP for fictional use and cannot be assigned to real subscribers. International numbers use unassigned or clearly fictional ranges.

Can I use these numbers to send real SMS messages?

No — and that is the point. These numbers are intentionally non-routable. They will never reach a real person, making them safe for test data.

What is the E.164 format?

E.164 is the international standard format: a plus sign followed by the country code and subscriber number with no spaces or punctuation, e.g. +12125550143.

Does this tool store or transmit the generated numbers?

No. All generation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is sent to any server.

Why do US numbers use 555?

The 555 exchange within the +1 country code is reserved by the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) for fictional and testing purposes. Numbers 555-0100 through 555-0199 are the specific range designated for this use.

Can I generate numbers in bulk for a CSV?

Yes. Set the count to up to 100 and click Copy All to get all numbers separated by newlines, ready to paste into a spreadsheet or fixture file.
