Why use a virtual number for crypto exchanges
Exchanges use SMS for login codes and security prompts, so the number stays in use over time rather than for a single sign-up. A dedicated number keeps your real one off the account.
Because you will receive codes on every login, a monthly or yearly number that stays active is the right choice here, rather than a one-off. Read each code in your dashboard as it arrives.
