Receive SMS Online - temporary phone numbers
Temporary phone numbers let you receive SMS online without exposing your personal phone number. They are commonly used for one-time verification (OTP), testing, and development.
Common use-cases
- Account verification (Telegram, Google, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc.)
- Testing sign-up flows and SMS delivery
- Receiving OTPs when you cannot use your primary number
Security & reliability
Use temporary numbers only for non-critical accounts. If a service rejects a number, try another listed number or use a paid dedicated virtual number.
