Overview
Possible use cases (legal):
- Privacy protection when signing up for services
- Avoiding spam on your real number
- Testing account creation workflows
- Bypassing geo-restrictions (with limitations)
- Reliability Issues: Because the numbers are public and shared (or reused after a cooldown), many major platforms (like Google or Facebook) have flagged many of these numbers. Users often encounter "This number has been used too many times" or "Invalid number" errors.
- No Voice Capability: The service is strictly for receiving SMS text messages; it cannot receive voice calls or verification codes via voice.
- Temporary Access: Once the rental period expires or the SMS is received, the number is no longer accessible to the user. If they need to re-verify the account later, they will likely have to pay for a new number, which may result in losing access to the account if the platform requires re-verification.
