Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for FreeNow
FreeNow is a leading multi-mobility app in Europe, offering everything from ride-hailing to e-scooters and carsharing. To use the service, you must create an account and verify it with a phone number, which is also used to help drivers connect with you. While essential for the service to function, this exposes your private number. A temporary phone number is a smart solution that allows you to travel conveniently while keeping your personal information secure.
Protect Your Privacy from Drivers
When you book a ride, your phone number is often shared with the driver for coordination. This means a stranger has your personal contact details. A virtual number protects your privacy by acting as a temporary bridge. The driver can call or text you to find you for pick-up, but they never get access to your real, permanent number, protecting you from any unwanted contact after the ride is over.
Safeguard Your Location History
Your ride-hailing history is a detailed record of your movements, including your home, workplace, and frequent destinations. Linking this sensitive location data to your primary phone number creates a comprehensive and potentially vulnerable profile of your life. Using a virtual number for registration helps to de-link your travel patterns from your core identity, adding an important layer of privacy.
Avoid Unwanted Promotional Messages
Mobility apps often send promotions, discount codes for your next ride, and updates about new services. A temporary number can filter this out. It receives the initial verification code, and all subsequent marketing communications are funneled to that line, keeping your personal SMS inbox clean and focused on your own conversations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, our numbers are specifically designed for FreeNow registration. FreeNow 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 FreeNow account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into FreeNow. 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 FreeNow. 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 FreeNow 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.
