Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for Adverts
Adverts.ie is a massive online marketplace in Ireland where you can buy and sell a huge range of new and used items. To communicate with other users and build a trusted profile, you need to verify your account with a phone number. For anyone using the platform, a temporary phone number is a crucial tool for ensuring your safety and protecting your privacy when dealing with the public.
Connect Safely with Buyers and Sellers
When you're arranging a deal, you are communicating directly with people you don't know. A virtual number is a critical safety shield. It allows you to chat, call, and arrange a meeting without ever exposing your real, personal phone number. This protects you from any unwanted future contact or potential harassment from someone you’ve transacted with.
Avoid Potential Scams and Fraud
Online marketplaces can be a breeding ground for scams. A disposable phone number is a powerful tool for self-protection. You can use it for all your Adverts.ie communications. If you encounter a suspicious user, you can instantly cut off all contact by abandoning the number, which is the quickest and cleanest way to exit a potentially fraudulent situation.
Maintain Your Privacy
Using a temporary number allows you to keep your marketplace hobby separate from your personal life. It adds a layer of anonymity to your profile, giving you the confidence to browse, buy, and sell without worrying about your personal contact details becoming public knowledge. It ensures a safer and more secure experience from start to finish.
Frequently Asked Questions

First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into Adverts. Also, ensure the number you used is still active and within its valid time frame.
If the issue persists, the number might have been flagged by Adverts. In such cases, we recommend simply renting a new temporary phone number and repeating the registration process.
