Receive SMS - Virtual numbers
Receive SMS is an Android app developed by Christian Hurter that provides users with a free virtual phone number to receive SMS messages. It is particularly useful for those who do not want to give away their real phone number or do not have access to a phone. The app offers virtual SIM cards from different countries, including Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. It also allows users to receive SMS messages even on a tablet.
One of the key features of Receive SMS is that it gives users control over the messages they receive and helps them avoid the problems commonly associated with receiving verification texts. The app is free to use and does not require any registration. Users are given a virtual phone number that they can use for as long as they like, and the texts come through on the app as soon as they are received.
However, it is important to note that all phone numbers provided by the app are public, and for privacy reasons, it is not recommended to use them for services like Facebook, Google, and WhatsApp. Users should also read the SMS sender's terms and conditions and use their own SIM card if necessary. It is also important to note that the app does not support illegal behavior, and services and companies may report abuse to
