You can create a free account at https://dashboard.nexmo.com/sign-up and take advantage of our complimentary €2 for free testing. 

To create your free Nexmo account:

1. In your browser, navigate to Dashboard https://dashboard.nexmo.com/sign-up.

2. Add your company information and click Sign up. Nexmo sends a PIN to your phone as a text message or automated phone call. The timeout for each verification attempt is 5 minutes. Note: you can associate a phone number with one account only. If your phone number is already associated with a Nexmo account you should remove that phone number from the existing account.

3. In Phone number verification, enter the PIN sent to you by Nexmo and click Verify. You are logged into Dashboard and shown how to start developing with Nexmo. This page is displayed each time you login until you have made your first successful call with Nexmo API.


When you create your Nexmo account you are given €2 free test credit and your account is set in DEMO mode. You can use our products to send messages to up to 10 destination numbers, Nexmo DEMO is added to all the SMS you send. To move out of the Demo mode add credit to your account.

For very few countries we cannot create a Nexmo account automatically. This is because of payment restrictions or legal trading restrictions for a US registered company.
