Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for ASA
Engage with a professional organization like the American Statistical Association (ASA) while maintaining control over your professional and personal contact information. To become a member, register for a conference, or access exclusive publications, you are required to create an account with phone verification. A temporary phone number is an invaluable tool for any professional who wants to protect their privacy within a large member-based community.
Protect Your Professional Identity
When you join a large association, your contact information may become accessible to other members or listed in a directory. Using a virtual phone number for the initial registration allows you to control how you are contacted. It prevents your direct work or personal line from being exposed to unsolicited calls from other members, recruiters, or third-party vendors who partner with the association.
Secure and Private Event Registration
Registering for conferences or webinars often requires an OTP (One-Time Password) for verification. A disposable phone number provides a secure, private channel for this. You can sign up for events without your personal number being added to lists that are shared with event sponsors and exhibitors, saving you from a barrage of follow-up marketing long after the event has ended.
A Firewall for Your Communications
Using a temporary number acts as a firewall for your primary communications. It ensures your personal and direct work lines are reserved for trusted contacts. In the event the association's database is ever compromised, your real number is not at risk. It's a smart, professional strategy to manage your career development and networking with an enhanced layer of security and privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, our numbers are specifically designed for ASA registration. ASA 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 ASA account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into ASA. 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 ASA. 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 ASA 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.
