Ask HN: Which virtual phone number service do you recommend?
For security reasons I want to add a second phone number (for Telegram, signing up for services etc.)
Which service do you recommend? I know Twilio, but they are doing way more now than just phone numbers and I am afraid they cancel my account for no reason or not enough traffic.
- FrenchDevRemote 4y agoThe Onoff app is cool twilio won't cancel your account but some of their numbers are blacklisted/already used on a bunch of major websites
- jqpabc123 4y ago"Virtual" phone numbers won't work for signups with many security conscious service providers like banks. Personally, I use a spare/old phone with this instead: https://www.ultramobile.com/paygo/ https://www.ultramobile.com/paygo/
- chrisked 4y agoTwilio works well. Just buy a number and forward txt msg to your phone. Never had an issue with low volume.
- s__s 4y agoI’ve been using Grasshopper for years and it’s quite good. Though it’s probably a bit pricey if your use case is a simple throw away number. Might be worth digging around their pricing options though.
