Virtual phone numbers are phone numbers not associated with a physical landline phone or mobile device, and are thus assigned to a single user, who can use them from multiple devices.
Your mobile number is your identity, and without it, you can't do anything online — whether that's activating messenger, making online purchases, or even just opening a new account on social media. But if you don't have access to your mobile number, how can you get verification codes for apps and websites?
The answer is simple: by using a virtual phone number. A virtual phone number allows you to use any application or website without sharing your real one because they don't know who you are.
What are virtual phone numbers?
Virtual phone numbers are phone numbers not associated with a physical landline phone or mobile device, and are thus assigned to a single user, who can use them from multiple devices.
Once you have your own virtual phone number, you can use it in any application that requires a phone number to create a new account, such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger, Skype, Google Voice, and others.
What is the SMS verification process, and how does it work?
SMS verification is a way to double-check the identity of a user before they complete a login.
When you sign up for an app or website, you provide your username and password. Your username might be your email address, or it could be a username created by the company for their own purposes. Either way, you'll use that same username and password when logging in.
Before signing up, however, companies will send an SMS verification code to your phone. This code will be different every time, so that no one person can get access to more than one person's account. You'll need this code to complete your login — that's what SMS verification means!
SMS verification goes by other names as well: SMS authentication, Phone number verification, 2FA, or SMS one-time password (OTP).
