There are platforms online that provide free phone numbers to receive verification codes. This service is for people who want to use a phone number to register apps in other countries, or register a new app but don’t want to use the real phone number.
Normally, the profit model for platforms like this is to attract web traffic and sell ads. The technical process behind this service is that the platform applies for real phone numbers in different countries and keeps them available, and then they install specif apps on the phone that can send the SMS message information to the web automatically.
If you want to register for a website but don’t want to reveal your personal information, you can use this kind of service. It’s easy to use. You can open the website of a platform, choose one phone number on the main page, input the chosen phone number into the website, click send the verification code, and you go back to the free verification code platform, click into that phone number, and it will turn into another page where you can find your verification code.
