Why use a virtual number for Coinbase

Coinbase uses SMS for security codes. A virtual number keeps your real number off the account while still letting you log in.

For ongoing access, pick a monthly or yearly number rather than a single code.

Does it work with Coinbase?

Often works

Coinbase accepts many virtual numbers for SMS. Since you will need codes over time, use a dedicated monthly number rather than a one-off activation.

4
Read the code
The SMS code appears in your SimVala dashboard. Enter it and you are verified.

A dedicated number is $2.99 a month, and a one-off SMS activation starts at $0.40 per code, both paid in crypto. For an account you log into again and again, choose a monthly number so it keeps receiving codes.
