What is a virtual phone number?
A real phone number hosted in the cloud. It receives SMS (and sometimes voice) codes without a physical SIM card, so you can verify an account without exposing your personal number.
Questions, answered
How virtual numbers work, which platforms are supported, how long a number stays active, and what happens if no SMS code arrives.
Which platforms are supported?
WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, Instagram, Google, TikTok, Discord and most other services that send an SMS verification code.
How long does the number stay active?
By default 20 minutes — long enough to receive one code. You can extend the rental up to 24 hours at checkout if the service re-verifies you.
What if the code never arrives?
The order is cancelled automatically when the rental window expires and the amount goes straight back to your balance.
Can I reuse the same number later?
One-time numbers are released after the rental ends. Choose a longer rental window if you need continued access to the same number.
