What is a virtual number for SMS verification?

A real phone number you use through SmsGrab instead of your own SIM card, to receive a verification SMS.

A virtual number is a real phone number that you use through SmsGrab instead of the SIM card in your own phone. You enter it where an app or a website asks for a phone number, and the verification SMS appears in SmsGrab. A one-time number lasts 20 minutes and is meant for one sign-up. If no code arrives, you get the full price back. See What is SmsGrab?
