Sometimes I only need a number for a short project or when signing up for services online. Buying a new SIM every time feels wasteful. Is there another way?
There is actually a simple alternative. Instead of purchasing a SIM, many people choose virtual numbers that can be rented for days, weeks, or longer. They are managed through apps and let you call or text just like a regular line. I read about the process and you can find about this in detail, including when renting makes sense for travel, work, or protecting privacy. It is flexible and saves the hassle of carrying extra SIM cards
