Why use a virtual number for Gmail
Creating or securing a Gmail address often triggers a phone check. A virtual number keeps your personal number out of it.
It is the same Google verification step, so the flow matches our Google guide.
Does it work with Gmail?
Can be strict
Gmail uses Google's phone verification, which can be selective. A dedicated number helps, and your balance stays if a number does not verify.

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