What is a virtual number?
A virtual number is a cloud number that has no physical SIM card and is not tied to a specific device or location. An important feature of our online service is that our virtual numbers can only receive SMS but not send them.
How fast will I receive SMS?
Receiving SMS and registering by a virtual number takes the same amount of time as when using a regular SIM card. If you do not receive an SMS with a verification code for a long time, then you can cancel the purchased number by clicking on the "Cancel" button. Funds will be instantly returned to your account. If you are using a country number that you are not currently in, using a VPN is recommended. Most services compare the country of the mobile operator and the actual location of the user.
What does it mean to receive SMS from website online?
You buy a virtual phone number for a specific service and when you register you need a code to confirm the number, you get it from our website.
Why are there no available numbers for the service I selected?
The number of virtual numbers for each service is limited, and their availability directly depends on customer demand at the moment. If the numbers for the desired service are not available, then you need to wait a little, and we will definitely add new ones.
Will someone get access to the number I used after service expiration?
If you receive an SMS to the purchased virtual number, then this number will never be offered to anyone for the specified site or application. So, for example, incidents, where someone will gain access to your social network or messenger, are quite excluded from our service. That is, in other words, our individual numbers are issued individually for each user.
Can I get a SIM card to which the virtual number is linked?
Our service works just so that people do not have to buy a SIM card. With us, people use a purchased online number without a SIM card. Such numbers are shown in your personal account interface, where you can see SMS messages with one-time codes for activation and confirmation.
Why do you need phone number verification with OTP SMS?
SMS OTPs (also called one-time PINs or one-time passwords) are frequently used to verify a phone number, for instance as a second step in registration / authentication or to verify online payments. By verifying a user's phone number when they sign up, you can start getting high-quality, verified leads. If you intend to communicate with your leads by phone or SMS marketing in addition to email, then it makes sense to include a phone number field on your form and verify the user's ownership of that phone number.
