AD

Free virtual numbers might seem tempting, but they come with serious risks.

The Hidden Dangers

  • Shared Numbers - Multiple people use the same number
  • No Privacy - Anyone can see incoming messages
  • Account Theft - Others can reset your passwords
  • Blacklisted - Most services have already blocked them

The Safe Alternative

Use dedicated, private numbers from reputable providers like BloomSMS. Your number is yours alone, and messages are encrypted.
