Use Magine without a mobile number - is that possible?
When registering with Magine, you must also provide your mobile number. Here we explain how you can complete the registration if you do not have a SIM card or do not want to reveal your own number.
Register at Magine without a cell phone number?
Regardless of whether you log in to Magine via Facebook, Google or with your e-address: you cannot avoid entering a valid mobile number. A confirmation code will be sent to the number, which you must enter in the last step of the registration on the Magine website. However, it does not matter whether it is actually your own number. You can therefore use a free disposable mobile phone number, such as that offered by vsimcard.com.
- Open the //vsimcard.com/free_cards.php page in a new browser window or tab.
- Select a free SIM card or phone number from the dropdown list. Then click on the "Submit" button.
- Copy the number displayed behind "Message Inbox" to your clipboard and paste it into the field during Magine registration.
- Wait a moment. It may take up to a minute for the SMS to arrive. Go back to the vsimcard.com website and click the "SMS Refresh" button.
- The SMS with the Magine TV code should now be displayed below the number. Then enter at Magine to complete the registration.
