How to Get a Temporary or Virtual Number for Free?

A mobile is a very important device, especially in today’s day and age. Its importance has grown so much, that it is almost impossible to imagine life without it. On top of that, when you have a smartphone with a functional mobile sim, its importance and effect in our daily lives only goes on to multiply itself.

Buy Airtel Prepaid with exciting benefits!

As technology has progressed over the years, so has smartphone innovation. Now, there is nothing that a smartphone cannot do. Make calls, provide you access to high speed internet, hail cab rides, attend classes, watch OTT movies – we could go on all day. Amidst all this, the calling functionality still reigns over everything else.

If you cannot make a call with your smartphone or any mobile for that matter, then it is essentially useless. After all, the primary reason of having a phone is constant connectivity.

When Will I Need a Temporary Phone Number or Mobile Sim?

There can be a large number of reasons on why you could be needing a temporary phone number. For example, it is a great way to keep your actual phone number private from others. This way, you can enlist your temporary mobile sim for marketing calls and other similar activities, so that you can avail their associated services.

However, your actual phone number is marked safe from these marketing services or calls from unverified sources. A temporary mobile number can become a great ‘burner’ device if you understand its benefits and know how to use it properly.

Get the Help of a Friend

If you need a temporary number just for once, then you can always ask a close friend or a family member for help. This is a rather simple process and extremely cost-effective as well.

For example, there is an app which is asking your number for its app based verification process. Since you are unwilling to provide your personal number, you can always use the other person’s phone number for the verification and OTP process. All you have to do is provide their number, ask them to inform you about the OTP and you are verified. It is that easy.

However, you should remember that this process only works if the other person isn’t already registered to that app/service via that phone number.

Try Out an Online SMS Receiver Website

There are a large number of websites that are designed to receive SMS texts for you, absolutely free. Follow this list of steps to use these websites and get a temp sms, temp number for otp and more very easily:

  1. Open the online SMS receiver website on your computer or smartphone
  2. At the same time, also open the app which will send the OTP or verification ID
  3. Now, enter any of the free sms receiver phone numbers that are displayed on the website into the app
  4. After entering the 10 digit mobile number on the website, go ahead and receive the OTP
  5. This OTP will be received on the number that you chose from the website, so make sure you look for it
  6. Once the OTP is displayed on the website, enter the values as they are and go ahead
  7. Do note that it may take from a few seconds to a minute for the OTP number to reflect on the website

That’s all there is to do. You have now successfully made a new account for yourself by receiving an OTP on a different number. Therefore, your phone number wasn’t shared outside.

Buy a Temporary SIM card

You can also purchase an Airtel prepaid SIM card and use its services as a temporary measure. While you may not be able to get a completely free service, the wide range of benefits that you get when you buy Airtel sim helps you to maximise your benefits.
