I've had a good experience buying a virtual phone number from https://smsbower.com The process was straightforward and user-friendly. You select the country and service you need the number for, and they provide a list of available numbers. One thing I really liked was the immediate activation – I got my number in seconds. Using the number for verification was smooth; I used it for setting up a new Google account and had no issues receiving the SMS code. From my experience, the numbers are reliable, and they support a wide range of services. A couple of tips from my experience: always double-check the service you intend to use supports virtual numbers, and if you plan to use it for multiple verifications, keep track of which numbers are used for which service to avoid confusion. I noticed that virtual sms numbers work best when they are dedicated to a single account or service, ensuring no mix-ups or delays in receiving messages. Overall, it's a convenient way to manage verifications without compromising your personal phone number.

Thanks for the detailed information and tips! It's reassuring to hear that the process is quick and the numbers are reliable. I'll definitely check out smsbower.com and keep your advice in mind when using the virtual number for different services. Appreciate the help!
