To work with virtual numbers, you only need a computer with Internet access. This is very convenient, because when ordering such a number, you get the opportunity to receive hundreds of SMS a day, being anywhere, even without access to a computer. On such numbers you can often find advertising, as well as various discounts and offers. To order such a number, you do not need to have special skills and knowledge. It is enough to go to the service that provides virtual mobile number for sms verification, fill out a short form and indicate the phone number.

Technology Benefits

These numbers can be free or chargeable. Paid numbers tend to be cheaper, but also slower. As a rule, two types of virtual numbers are offered on the Internet: with a country code and without a country code. With a country code (for example, +74951234567) you can receive SMS to virtual numbers with the code of the operator to which the number belongs. If your virtual number does not have an operator code, then you will not be able to receive SMS from subscribers of this operator. Advantages:

  • no settings needed. All functions of the phone work normally;

  • you can receive messages from sites without registering on them;

  • you can receive paid SMS notifications for free;

  • all incoming SMS will be sent to your phone.

Using the number, you will be able to receive messages from all mobile phones with which you receive SMS, including from mobile numbers that are not registered in your network. You can receive SMS in any language, but for this, of course, you will have to use translation programs.

Where are virtual numbers used?

You can use virtual numbers for such purposes as:

  • receiving SMS from the site;

  • creating an anonymous account on the site;

  • registration in any social network;

  • sending messages to a website or blog;

  • newsletter subscription;

  • use of the "SMS reminder" service (for example, if you forgot to pay for Internet traffic);

  • checking payment status.

You enter your mobile phone number in the message receiving form on the site. After sending the SMS, you will receive a response message containing a confirmation code. Next, your phone will receive an SMS with a code that you need to enter in the same form. This will allow you to confirm that the message was sent by you. All customer data remains confidential.

The number connects to a specific website or service, after which you can receive text messages. A virtual number can be used for various purposes. For example, you can receive messages from your friends and acquaintances without even having your own number. Or, for example, you want your potential customers to know about you and your services. To do this, you create your website or blog and add a virtual number to it.
