Create fake cell phone numbers - here it goes

So that you are protected against fake calls or the like on the Internet, you can create a fake mobile phone number on various websites. In this practical tip, we will compare three different providers.

What is a fake cell phone number and what are the dangers?

Fake cell phone numbers are especially useful for creating user accounts. This way you avoid excessive advertising SMS and calls. Before you decide on such a phone number, there are a few things you should know about it.

• All websites that offer so-called fake cell phone numbers are visible to everyone. This means that third parties can also read your received SMS. Under no circumstances should you use fake numbers for sensitive data.
• Also make sure that the SMS you expect is clearly identified. Otherwise, it can quickly go under in the chat window.
• Caution: Many of the fake cell phone numbers are blocked by most providers. So you can't use this trick everywhere.

Provider 1: Fake cell phone numbers from vsimcard.com

If you need a phone number for a user account, create a fake phone number.

• On the vsimcard.com website you have the choice between several different cell phone numbers.
• To do this, select a free number and enter it where you need it.
• You will then receive the respective SMS on the cell phone number. The message is then visible after you reload the page.
• Alternatively, you can use a so-called disposable email on the website.
• Conclusion: The service is suitable for simple SMS confirmations, but not for private matters, since the site is public.

Provider 2: Create phone number on sms-receive.com

On sms-receive.com you have different mobile numbers with several country codes available.

• Select the desired fake cell phone number on the homepage.
• Unfortunately, the SMS entries are rather confusing and can also be viewed by everyone.
• Therefore, you should also refrain from using sensitive data with the mobile phone number.

Alternative: Use the SIM card as a fake cell phone number

With the providers mentioned above, you have the disadvantage that the messages are openly visible. We therefore strongly advise against using these providers for private purposes.

• Alternatively, you can order a cheap SIM card on the Internet.
• This gives you full control and you can also use the SIM card for private purposes.
