Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone number for AR Lens Apps
Augmented Reality (AR) Lens applications are social tools that overlay digital information and interactive filters onto the real world through your phone's camera. To share your creations and connect with others, these apps require phone number verification. As AR blurs the line between your digital and physical worlds, a temporary phone number is an essential tool to protect your real-world privacy.
Protect Your Real-World Identity and Location
AR apps are intrinsically linked to your presence in the real world. Using your real phone number can create a connection between your online AR persona and your actual identity and location. A virtual number allows you to sign up and participate without revealing your private contact details. This protects you from being identified or contacted by strangers you interact with through the app, safeguarding your personal space.
Avoid Location-Based Spam
As AR technology evolves, so does location-based marketing. By registering with a temporary number, you protect yourself from receiving unsolicited promotional messages or ads that are targeted to you based on the places you visit and use the app. It helps you enjoy the fun of augmented reality without becoming a target for hyper-local advertising.
Explore New Social Platforms Safely
A virtual number is the perfect tool for safely exploring new and emerging social AR apps. You can create a profile and test the platform's features and community without committing your permanent, personal data. If you decide you don't like the app or its privacy standards, you can simply discard the number, leaving no digital footprint behind.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can. SMSFAST allows you to rent multiple virtual numbers, meaning you can use a unique number for each AR Lens account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into AR Lens. 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 AR Lens. 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 AR Lens 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.
