Why use a virtual number for messaging apps
People use a dedicated number for messaging apps to keep a personal number private, to run a separate account for work or a side project, or to sign up while abroad without a local SIM.
The flow is the same across apps: enter the virtual number at the phone step and read the one-time code we deliver to your dashboard. For an account you keep, a monthly number stays reachable for future logins.
