Many web portals, when registering a new user and creating an account, require that a mobile phone number be provided, which is required for SMS verification and account activation. It often happens that a phone number “exposed” in this way will subsequently end up in spam databases or be used by network scammers to covertly subscribe to commercial services and subsequently make a financial profit.
In order to avoid becoming a victim of this scam, some users use replacement SIM cards with a zero balance, but it is much easier in such situations to use virtual number services to obtain the requested activation code.

Virtual phone number for SMS – what is it?
If this is the first time you have heard of the service, you may be confused by its name. It seems strange, unfamiliar and perhaps a little intimidating. But in terms of functionality, it’s almost identical to the one you use and even better.
A virtual phone number for SMS is a telephone number which works over the internet. You can use it remotely, you don’t need wires or expensive equipment, you don’t need a connection at your base station, you just need a stable Internet connection.
A virtual number will allow you to receive text messages and register accounts in social networks, messengers and other online resources which require a mobile number for registration.
The benefits of virtual numbers:
- Massive online account creation. Virtual numbers can be used to register on a variety of Internet portals, social networks and online shopping. Create any number of accounts without fear of spam or fraud.
- For lovers of freebies. Paid music, gaming and film sites often offer a trial monthly subscription. Using different virtual mobile numbers, subscriptions can be renewed indefinitely.
- No service contracts. When registering a new SIM card with a local cellular company, the buyer must sign a service contract. Long-term agreements are especially characteristic of VoIP providers. Whereas to register a virtual number with an online provider (e.g. SMS-man service) the user does not have to provide any personal data or sign anything.
- Maintaining your anonymity. You do not have to provide any personal information or disclose your phone number to obtain online numbers, the service is completely anonymous.
