Free virtual phone number using apps

A noticeable increase in the possibilities of using a virtual number is provided by the Hola add-on for the Chrom browser.

Free numbers for registering Vkontakte can be an excellent way out for those who are going to create a new page on a social network, but are not going to spend money and time buying a SIM card. It stands out favorably for its simplicity and accessibility, since in order to take advantage of this approach, it is often enough to have only access to the Internet.

Of course, the use of special virtual services has its own disadvantages and disadvantages, but most of them can be called insignificant and insignificant. And those nuances that cannot be ignored are usually preserved when using the usual SIM cards of popular mobile operators.

The easiest way to create your own account is to buy a new SIM card and get the necessary codes for it. The traditional approach will eliminate the need to think about where to find a fake number and choose between a large number of online services.

But those who do not want to go to the nearest communication salon and spend money on buying an unnecessary SIM card, which will be used only once, should think about alternative options for getting a phone. They usually also require fees and time to register and get contacts. But the amount spent turns out to be noticeably lower, and the virtual service itself can be visited an infinite number of times, if necessary, instantly receiving new numbers to create accounts and profiles.

Free virtual numbers

Modern technologies allow users to choose from several options for obtaining a phone number for registering Vkontakte. Apart from the standard purchase of a SIM card from a well-known operator, those who wish are able to use the following online services:

• special sites providing IP telephony services to clients;
• portals that allow you to acquire contacts for a long time;
• short term rent for receiving sms vk and receiving several codes;
• free online resources or offers with a grace, trial period.

At the same time, it is important to emphasize that all the listed types of portals are extremely similar and often do not have visible differences. And the main differences are in the order of rendering services and depend only on the wishes of the registered subscribers.

Phone for receiving SMS

Those who want to buy a phone number for registering Vkontakte must remember that not all the options available on the world wide web are suitable for Russian social networks. Some portals offer only international SIM cards or contacts of individual countries, which cannot be used in Russia. Therefore, when choosing an Internet service for receiving SMS, it is worthwhile to familiarize yourself with the basic rules and conditions of their use in a timely manner. This is necessary to avoid offensive mistakes and thoughtless spending. After all, it will definitely not be possible to return the amount spent.

Additionally, you should pay attention to the convenience of the selected portal. This is especially true of free services, since they usually turn out to be of the lowest quality.

How do I get a phone number?

Despite the huge variety of all kinds of resources that offer users to get a phone number for anonymous, secure communication and receiving SMS messages, the general principle of operation of most sites is extremely similar. To create an account in social. networks without buying a SIM card, you will need:

• choose the most suitable portal;
• go through a relatively short registration procedure;
• top up the balance;
• choose a temporary number for registration;
• use the received contacts.

When using free or trial options, the procedure will be the same, but the account replenishment point will disappear from it. Otherwise, the described process will be unchanged and will definitely not cause insurmountable difficulties.

It is worth noting that those who want to increase anonymity can use a proxy server.

Fake numbers

Despite the huge number of advantages and positive aspects, the described services also have weaknesses. Those who want to get a number for registration in VK for free are obliged to remember the vulnerability of the page they have created. Indeed, if an attacker gains access to the profile, it will be fantastically difficult to regain control.

Possible difficulties lie in the absence of an effective way to obtain a code that allows you to change the previously selected password. After all, the answer to the question of where to get the phone number used earlier does not exist. Of course, you can buy a SIM card of a real mobile operator by pre-ordering the required number combination, but this approach is complicated and often requires additional expenses. At the same time, there are no guarantees that the user will be able to use this method.

Buy a number for registration

It is important to note that free virtual numbers are not always convenient enough, so those who want to create a new page on a social network will have to use paid services. Most of these sites work with various e-wallets, of which there are a lot of them now. That is why, when choosing a suitable resource, you should pay attention to the provided payment methods. This will allow you to choose the most convenient option.

At the same time, the payment itself for the assistance provided rarely exceeds 15 rubles.

Temporary registration number

It is not difficult to buy a number for VK registration. But people who decide to use a special virtual service should remember that, despite the external similarities, each portal providing such services has unique features. You should take them into account when deciding to pay for the SMS service.

You should not categorically refuse from the extremely simple option of obtaining a new account. Separate sites allow users to buy ready-made profiles and use them for their own purposes. At the same time, the cost of such a purchase will be minimal, but you should not count on help in case of meeting with scammers. The network administration does not support such transactions.

Today, more and more Internet services require a mobile phone number when registering. From a security point of view, this is reasonable: SMS confirmation significantly reduces the risk of account hacking. But there are situations when a phone request only gets in the way. For example, when creating another profile on the same resource.

We usually only have one or two SIM cards. If their numbers are already present in the site database, there are problems with registration. What do we do in such cases? Or we refuse the idea, or we beg our relatives and friends to let us use their phones. However, there is an easier way - a virtual phone number for rent.

Purpose, possibilities and advantages of virtual numbers

We figured out one of the types of virtual numbers - they are used to receive SMS when registering in social networks, for example, "VK" and "Odnoklassniki", as well as on other web sites. The rental period ranges from 5 minutes to a day. The cost of the service is symbolic. And in some places it is generally free.

Another type of virtual phone is used in business. In this area, they are used not for registration on websites, but for their main purpose - for receiving and making calls, as well as for SMS / MMS and fax messages. Such numbers are rented (as a rule, long-term) by telecom operators in various regions. The essence of the service is as follows: a subscriber (company) is located in one region, and works in another. In order not to splurge on charges for roaming and long-distance communication, the company buys (leases) a virtual number in the region of operation, all data from which is forwarded to the customer's real phones or PBX. The number, as a rule, is provided as an ordinary one - a municipal one. Less often - mobile.

Advantages of virtual telephony:

• For users of VKontakte and other social networks - the ability to create an unlimited number of accounts.
• For those who register on the websites of shops and trading platforms - an opportunity to avoid telephone spam and protect themselves from fraudsters.
• For subscribers of paid gaming, music and other web services with a free trial period, where the user is identified by a phone number: the ability to extend the free period for an unlimited time.
• For business - savings on communication services. Simplification of communications with the enterprise for customers and partners in remote regions (this is no less important than personal savings, because few people want to pay for calls to your company at intercity rates).

The best services for receiving SMS with Russian numbers

OnlineSim.ru

OnlineSim.ru is a classic paid, but inexpensive service for registrations on Internet sites. Provides the following features:

• Choose a number from an unlimited database. This ensures that no one has used it before you. The base is available 24 hours a day
• Receive SMS to the number you previously used.
• Forward incoming to personal mobile phone.

After registration (here it is required) you will have to fund your account. Currently (December 2016) 6 top-up options are available:

• PayPal.
• Yandex money.
• Bank cards.
• Qiwi.
• Bitcoin.
• Z-payment (supports many different payment methods).

Tariffs, as you can see from the screenshot, are not high. The most expensive one is 17 rubles for the immediate provision of a number for registration on VKontakte, which receives SMS within 20 minutes. If you want to save a little, you can get a used number for 12 rubles, (but not used on this service), which sometimes takes a long time to wait.

The cheapest is to rent a phone to receive SMS from Mamba, Yandex, WhatsApp, Telegram, SEOsprint, Friend Vokrug, Steam, Uber and OpenI. Immediately - 3 rubles, used with a delay - 2 rubles.

OnlineSim offers a choice of MTS, Beeline and Megafon numbers. Optionally, you can set up a filter so that you are shown the phones of only one operator. Here you can also "filter" the region (Moscow, St. Petersburg), the possibility of forwarding SMS to a personal mobile phone and the service option (message repeat and lease extension).

An account statement (with transactions, expense amounts and dates) is available on the site for ordering. And if difficulties or problems arise, you can always contact technical support.

In many ways, the hike is similar to the previous service. It also contains a huge database of free, never used phones for registration on various resources. Prices are on average the same. So, renting a number to create a VK account costs 8-10 rubles. Buy a ready-made account - 12 rubles.

Renting a number for receiving SMS for a certain period of time will cost a little more: 3 hours - from 40 rubles, a day - from 60 rubles.

The list of Internet resources that SMS-reg.com works with is no longer than that of Online Sim, but here you can use the phones of several countries. Available: Russia, Ukraine, Poland and Bulgaria.

The main advantages of paid services for receiving SMS are time saving. For a not too ruinous sum (2-15 rubles), you will be provided with a phone number of your own country (many domestic resources simply do not accept American and European numbers), which has never been used by anyone. And the content of the SMS that you receive will not be read by anyone but you.

OnlineSim and SMS-reg are far from the only sites that provide SMS receiving services. There are those that do not require anything from the user at all. Even registration, not to mention payment. Of course, you will not be able to register on VKontakte with their help, but for some "omnivorous" Internet sites they are quite suitable.

Free services with foreign numbers

- one of the easiest to use SMS receiving services. Works for free and without creating an account. The user just needs to take one of the free numbers for 5 minutes and indicate it when registering on the desired site. The currently available number is displayed in the second field from the top. A reply message (SMS confirmation) will appear right here on the Sellaite page.

The advantages of the service are simplicity and availability. Disadvantages - all provided phones are reused, so most of the Internet sites do not accept them. There are no Russian numbers. Ukrainian and Belarusian too. In addition, the text of the message addressed to you will be visible to everyone who is currently on the site.

Receive SMS Online

The Receive-sms-online.com service works in a similar way - just go in and take any of the eight available phones. Unlike Sellaite, Russian and Ukrainian numbers are often available here.

Next to each phone is the number of times it has been used in the last 24 hours. The less, the more likely it is that the number will be accepted by the site on which you are registering.

Reply SMS with confirmation codes come here. To read, just click on the number.

Twilio.com

Twilio.com, in comparison with the two previous ones, is a much more civilized service - one of the most popular web resources of this kind in the English-speaking space. Its assets include an extensive database of telephones from different countries of the world. However, there are very few Russians, Ukrainian and Belarusian among them.

Twilio is free to use, but you need to create an account. When registering, it is important to indicate your real email address and your mobile phone number, otherwise you will not receive confirmation and will not be able to enter your personal account.

To get your first free Twilio number, click Get Started.

The next window will display the virtual phone provided to you. Despite the fact that the service tries to select numbers of their countries for users, not everyone gets Russian phones. For example, we got the American one.

If you want to change the number, click "Choose this Number".

Click “Done” to close the window.

If the new option did not suit you either by clicking “Buy a phone number”, you can buy another one. In this case, you will be given a choice of phones from 20-30 countries. You may be lucky: Russia will be among them.

To manage Twilio numbers, click the "Manage phone numbers" button.

The information you are interested in is in the "Message Log" section.

Proovl.com (formerly Smscan.com)

- the last actually working virtual telephony service in today's collection. Provides real mobile numbers for short-term use. The cost of services is from € 0 (for one SMS) to € 5 (for daily use).

Test SMS reception on Proovl does not require registration (the received message is displayed on the website). If this is not enough, after creating an account and replenishing the account, the user is given a choice of a dozen phones in Europe and the USA.

The site has 2 tariff plans: standard and premium. One-time reception of messages on both tariffs does not cost anything. Connecting a permanent virtual number - € 5-10. Subscription fee per day - € 5. On the standard tariff, no more than 2 numbers can be connected at the same time, on the premium one - without restrictions.

Proovl virtual phones can be used for registration on any Internet sites (except for those that send data only to Russian numbers) and, unlike a number of similar ones, accept long messages. Information is stored in the user's personal account for up to 150 days.

Sometimes you urgently need to register in a network. Take VKontakte, for example. She and many others like her are asked to indicate their number.

But what if you don't want to include your number? Or has it already been used for registration (you cannot register two accounts for one number)? Or maybe everything is so urgent that there is no time to buy another SIM card?

Whatever the circumstances, there is always a way out:

• You can ask your friends or neighbors for a number. But they may not always have a free number for VK. And if it turns out, they can lie or ask for money. In addition, if the number remains with them, they can easily change the password for your account;
• You can use a free disposable number to simply receive an SMS with a code;
• You can register in the IP-telephony system and buy a number from them.

-telephony?

IP telephony is a technology for using conventional telephony over the IP protocol. Since Internet traffic is cheaper than using telephone networks, In addition, a virtual phone number is created for free. Although the usual numbers are connected for a fee.

In addition, the flow of information is transmitted in digital form and is necessarily compressed in order to save traffic and not transmit information garbage through the channels.

You can use this number both from a computer and from a smartphone. You just need to install the application and you can start texting or calling. There are also stationary devices for IP telephony. Virtual numbers are also connected to them.

Free disposable number for SMS

There are services that allow their users to use a free number to receive an SMS with a code. It seems to be convenient, but there is one "but": there are few free numbers.

You go to the service page (for example, tempsms .ru). Usually the numbers are shown immediately on the main page. And on the same page the SMS that came to them are shown. That is, everyone can see your code. This is not the safest option.

The second significant drawback is that you must have time to register before no one has taken the number. Rooms can be changed every day or several times a day. In terms of budget, this is not bad. In terms of anonymity, too. Because if a whole bunch of people use one number, it will be difficult to track down any specific one. Especially if you use the number only once and with a proxy.

If you want a one-time account and don't want to spend a dime, this is perfect. But if you need a profile in VK for a long time, this option will not work - if you need to receive another SMS, you will not receive it. Because the number is likely to change. Especially considering that this SMS may only be needed in months.

Personal virtual number

It will be safer to get a virtual number for your own use. So that only you can read your SMS. Fortunately, creating a virtual phone number for 10 minutes for free is not so difficult and still anonymous. Just do not forget to cover the webcam with tape so that the recording with your face does not get to intruders)

There are several services that do this:

• other.

Each, as always, has its own "nuances". Comtube, for example, allows you to get an international number free of charge and without a monthly fee (there is a monthly fee for the RF number). But it cannot be used to register somewhere.

It's not about the policy of the service, it's about how the message should look. That is, the SMS that is sent to you must begin with your username on the service. And since VK and other sites create messages automatically, they will never send you SMS of the desired format. Therefore, linking an account through is impossible.

How receive sms online through the Internet?

To receive SMS online, there are special sites that provide a special virtual number to which you can receive an SMS message. All sites presented in this review are free and do not require registration. I will tell you about the best services for receiving SMS online in my opinion and how to use them correctly.

This article will be constantly updated so as not to lose its relevance. Therefore, if you know other services that provide a virtual number for receiving SMS, drop the link in the comments. I mean something sensible and useful for users, not an advertisement for some ### o-site!

In what cases may you need a virtual number to receive SMS? There are many different situations. Receiving SMS online can be used primarily to improve anonymity. By using virtual numbers, the user can avoid being tracked on the Internet. Here are examples of using services for receiving SMS messages.

• To receive SMS confirmation online.
• SMS online via the Internet can be used when registering on social networks, classmates, vkonatke, etc.
• Also, receiving SMS online may be needed when registering mailboxes.

Virtual number without registration

In this chapter, I will discuss online services that do not require registration. These sites can be used when you need to receive SMS online quickly and free of charge. It is possible to send SMS to such virtual numbers only if it does not contain any sensitive data.

Sensitive data for me is not an activation code or password with a login until the link or the name of the site from which the SMS was sent is not indicated. This information can be not only in the visible part of the letter, but also in the technical headers (RFC headers) of the letter. We talked about this in the article "How to find out IP by mail". The link was above.

Here is an example of how you cannot use a virtual number without registration. I blurred the password and login of some poor fellow, somehow I don't want to participate in your hacking.

Many not very advanced users do not take into account what I said above and by such ill-considered actions they lose access to their and other people's accounts. Therefore, if you delve into such sites, you can find a lot of edible things. But do not forget that using someone else's data for authorization is also in a sense hacking. And as you know, there is a time limit for hacking in any country.

Sellaite

Let's start with the Sellaite website. This site allows you to receive SMS online for free using one of the available numbers at that time.

The service does not require registration. To receive SMS online, go to the website page and click on the available number.

Keep in mind the provided SMS number may change at any time. Therefore, register on it only what does not require future confirmation and binding to the number.

Receive-SMS-Online

The next site is called Receive-SMS-Online. Among the possible virtual numbers there are often Russian and Ukrainian ones. Which can be very useful for our audience.

Registration is not required to receive SMS. We go in, choose a number and send an SMS.

This is another general public virtual number for receiving sms, so the rules are the same with it as with the first service.

FreeOnlinePhone

FreeOnlinePhone - the site provides online numbers for receiving SMS. No Russian numbers were noticed, but despite this the site works stably.

ReceiveSMSOnline

ReceiveSMSOnline is another service that offers a virtual number for free. At the time of this writing, the service provided only British and American virtual numbers, although the description says at least two more countries: Canada and Sweden.

Free virtual number

There were delays during testing of this service. From one SMS source it took about 20 minutes, from another about 30.

Receive-SMS

Receive-SMS is another site that provides a virtual number for receiving SMS for free and without registration.

In addition to a free virtual number, it offers the sale of numbers. The price for one room for one month is $ 9.

ReceiveFreeSMS

The next service is ReceiveFreeSMS. Offers virtual number for free. And not a number, but a whole bunch of virtual numbers from different countries.

Free SMS reception

This is the best service in my opinion. I will pray for his health, I hope he will live a long time and will please the anonymous people.

Keep in mind. Some large sites define a virtual number and refuse to send SMS to it. This happens extremely rarely, but it does happen. So if you can't get SMS to a specific number or to some service in general, then don't be upset, try another one. It is also worth considering the fact that virtual numbers are not durable and tend to change frequently.

That's all. In fact, I wanted to supplement this list with other sites for receiving SMS online via the Internet, which, although they require registration, have richer functionality. But the article dragged on a bit, and I decided that the continuation would be in another article. So subscribe to publics on social networks so as not to miss.
