Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for Airtime
Airtime is a social app that lets you and your friends watch videos together and chat in real time, creating a shared viewing experience. To create an account and find your friends, you need to register with a phone number. In any social setting, a virtual phone number gives you more control over your privacy and who you connect with.
Control Your Social Connections
When you join a social app with your real number, it may automatically suggest you to everyone in your phone's contact list. A virtual number gives you a fresh start. It allows you to create an Airtime profile and manually choose who you want to connect with, without the app broadcasting your presence to your entire network. This gives you complete control over your social circle on the platform.
Maintain Your Privacy
You might want to use Airtime to connect with a specific group of friends without making your profile broadly discoverable. A virtual number helps you maintain this privacy. It allows you to verify your account without linking it to your primary phone number, which is a key piece of your real-world identity. This ensures your social viewing remains a private and controlled activity.
Avoid Unwanted Notifications
A temporary number can also act as a filter for notifications. You can use it to sign up and then manage how and when you are alerted about activity on the app. This helps you to engage with Airtime on your own terms, without having your personal phone constantly buzzing with social updates, keeping your digital life more organized and less intrusive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, our numbers are specifically designed for Airtime registration. Airtime requires a phone number for account creation, and our virtual numbers provide a reliable way to receive the SMS verification code.
Yes, you can. SMSFAST allows you to rent multiple virtual numbers, meaning you can use a unique number for each Airtime account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into Airtime. 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 Airtime. In such cases, we recommend simply renting a new temporary phone number and repeating the registration process.
There may be a slight delay in network delivery at times. Please give it a minute or two.
- Request resend: On the Airtime interface, look for the option to resend the code. This often prompts a new SMS message to be sent to your number.
- Ensure you are actively viewing the SMSFAST interface for the specific virtual number you rented, as the SMS message will appear there.
If the code still doesn't arrive after a resend attempt, the temporary number might be experiencing an issue with that specific service. We recommend canceling the current number (if no SMS has been received, you typically won't be charged) and renting a new disposable number from SMSFAST.
A number is valid for up to 20 minutes for SMS verification purposes. This ensures you have enough time to receive your verification code and complete the registration.
