A temporary number is a virtual phone number that receives incoming SMS and forwards it to your TemporaSMS account. You use it to pass a verification on any supported platform — then the number expires. Your real phone number stays private.
Unlike SIM cards or VoIP apps that require a contract, TemporaSMS charges only when a message arrives. No wallet lock-ins. No recurring billing.
