The Process of Getting a US Virtual Number

How to Get a US Number for SMS Verification

Registration on most websites or messengers requires verification of the number. If for some reason, you don’t want to use your personal number, use the service to get SMS online.

When Is It Worth Using a US Virtual Number?

The short answer is: whenever you don’t want to or can’t use your own number, for example:

• to create an additional account in social networks or messengers;
• to register on websites or places from which you do not want to receive annoying notifications (such as a local restaurant, fitness center, etc.);
• to register on websites where you want to remain anonymous. Data leaks are not uncommon. Even if your virtual number is found out by criminals, they won’t be able to associate it with your identity.

In addition, some resources (websites, applications) require that you register only with a specific region number. Most often, the US number is exactly what you need.

5 Steps to Get a US Number for SMS

The process of getting a number will take you no more than 5 minutes. Follow these steps:

1. Register on the website of the mobile operator that offers the service of SMS receive.
2. Find the USA on the list of countries.
3. Select the desired tariff. In the column on the left, you will see the options “Receive SMS” and “Number rent.” The first option means that only one message will be sent to your number, and after that, you will no longer be able to use it. For example, if you sign up for Facebook with this number and then forget your account password, you won’t be able to receive SMS confirmations. The second option is to rent a number for 3, 7, 15, or 30 days. Currently, the cost of renting a number for 3 days is $10 (i.e. approximately $3.3 per day). If you pay for the service for a month, then a day of use will cost about $1.3. You’ll be able to receive an unlimited number of messages, and after a month, you can extend the rental period. Theoretically, this number can be yours forever.
4. Top up your account. When you choose a plan, add the required amount to your balance.
5. Make a purchase. Click on the button with the sum and pay for the purchase.

You’re done! Now, you can enter the number you received when you register on websites or in messengers.
