Or a second number that works without a sim card like usual. A lot of my friends talk about these online services. But my regular number is enough for me. I’m just curious to understand what this thing is actually needed for.
I read that it’s an effective way to escape spam, scammers, and just for online safety in general. Maybe I got lucky, but I don’t really have spam as such. I just don’t leave my number everywhere, and nobody sends me anything or calls me.
Even if you don’t really care about online safety, which, to be honest, is kind of strange, because these days it’s worth thinking about it even when everything seems fine, I’m sure many people would still want to separate personal life and work. I have a lot of communication with clients I talk to only once. I definitely don’t want to give them my personal phone number, and virtual numbers from smsfast.com are very convenient for this. My real phone number is used only for personal life, personal chats, friends and family. Maybe your friends use such numbers for the same reasons.
