Good to know

These are virtual numbers that work over the internet, not mobile SIM numbers. Many platforms accept them, but some apps, banks and payment services do not accept virtual numbers, so we can't guarantee that a specific service will send SMS to your number. Use your number for your own accounts and in line with each service's rules.
