Need a temporary phone number to finish SMS verification? Sim100 sells private virtual numbers for OTP codes. This is the short version of how to use it well.
Match the app. Match a country the app accepts. Copy the number with the country code. Request the SMS once, then watch the Sim100 inbox. That sequence avoids most failed activations.
One-time is for a single OTP. Rent when you expect a password-reset SMS or a second device login. Losing the number after a one-time buy is the usual reason people get locked out.
Wait for the timer, cancel for a refund, change country, try again. Do not reuse a number the destination already rejected. Check the Sim100 FAQs or contact support if a route looks down for everyone.
Create a free Sim100 account, add balance, then buy a private number. You pay only when the SMS arrives. Developers can automate the same flow with the API.
