Pay with Privacy Using a Virtual Phone Number for CityBase
CityBase provides a convenient way for residents to pay for utilities and public services through online portals and kiosks. When you register for an account to manage your payments, phone verification is often part of the process. Using a temporary phone number is a smart strategy to protect your privacy while handling these essential transactions.
Protect Your Personal Contact Information
When paying for municipal services, you are interacting with government or quasi-government systems. While secure, minimizing the exposure of your personal data is always a good practice. A virtual phone number allows you to complete the verification process for your CityBase account without providing your primary, personal contact number, keeping it out of additional databases.
Avoid Unwanted Civic Notifications
While some notifications are essential, you may not want your personal phone line to be the default contact for all civic communications. A disposable phone number can be used to receive the initial verification SMS, giving you control over how and where you receive future updates. This helps keep your primary inbox free for personal and emergency communications.
Enhance Your Transactional Security
Using a virtual number adds a layer of separation between your identity and your financial transactions. It ensures that your main phone number, which may be linked to more sensitive personal banking accounts, is not directly associated with your utility payment profiles. This simple step helps safeguard your data and provides greater peace of mind when managing your bills online.

First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into CityBase. 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 CityBase. In such cases, we recommend simply renting a new temporary phone number and repeating the registration process.
