What Is A Fake Phone Number?

When we use the term ‘fake’ phone number, it perhaps calls for a little bit of an explanation. The numbers we have on our website aren't fake – in fact, they're all linked to real sim cards and real numbers. The word ‘fake’ comes from the fact that the number you're using isn't your own. Thus, you get to maintain higher privacy and security when signing up for new services. So essentially, a fake number – at least in this sense – simply means using an online number that is not your own.

Is It Free to Use Fake Phone Numbers?

Unlike a lot of other similar services available online, TemporaryNumber is totally free. This means you can access our full catalog of fake phone numbers worldwide without having to enter your credit card details or pay a dime! We truly believe in an open and honest service, which is exactly what we offer to our users. Better still, you won't even need to register with us – use our service anonymously without entering your name, number, or email.

How Do I Access Fake Phone Numbers on TemporaryNumber?

Using fake phone numbers on our site couldn't be easier! We know there are other services around that complicate things and make the process a little too much hassle, which is why we wanted our website to be simple to use, meaning you can receive your SMS verification message on a fake number on TemporaryNumber within minutes!

How Often Are Fake Phone Numbers Added?

Before we get onto how often new fake numbers are added, let's talk briefly about the number we already have on TemporaryNumber. As with anything in life, numbers can start seeing a little wear and tear over time. This is because the more a number is used, the more prone it can become to slowness and delays. This can happen when a number becomes overloaded trying to receive a high volume of messages. To combat this, TemporaryNumber ensures that numbers are made inactive BEFORE they get to this level and that new numbers are added in this place. So to answer the question, we add new numbers onto TemporaryNumber every day, meaning you will always have at least one new number to choose from each and every day that you use our service. This means no lags or delays.

What Can I Use Fake Phone Numbers For?

While you are free to use our fake phone numbers for whatever reason you wish – personal or otherwise- most users on our site use them for SMS verification purposes. SMS verification is always required when you register or sign up for a new service. It acts as an extra level of authentication; without you, you won't be able to access the service you want. You can use our fake phone numbers to receive SMS verification for any service, including social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, etc.), online dating (Tinder, Grindr, etc.), career platforms (apps such as LinkedIn), messaging apps (Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber, Telegram) and more.

Why Use A Fake Phone Number for SMS Verification?

Using our own number to register with a new app or service oftentimes compromises our own privacy and security. This is because your number is stored in their system and used at a later date for sales and marketing purposes. The result? Unwanted calls and texts, all trying to sell you products that, for the most part, you won't be interested in. Furthermore, they can also use your number to track your activity over other apps, enabling them to better understand the type of services you may be interested in in the future. Many of us find this to be a total breach of our online privacy and security and have started looking for other ways of registering for the services we want without compromising the most basic levels of online confidentiality. Don't forget – all of our numbers are connected to real sim cards, which means that the number you choose to use won't come up as suspicious or red-flagged, meaning our numbers are totally safe and secure to use – however many times you want to use them!
