Navigate with Grab, Not with Your Privacy at Risk
Grab is the leading super-app in Southeast Asia, offering everything from ride-hailing and food delivery (GrabFood) to digital payments. To use these essential services and ensure your safety, phone number verification is at the core of the registration process. However, sharing your personal number across such a vast ecosystem can be a concern. A temporary phone number is a smart and secure way to use Grab’s services while protecting your personal data.
Safeguard Your Privacy on Every Ride and Order
Whether you're booking a ride or ordering a meal, your phone number is shared with the driver or delivery partner. A virtual number acts as a protective shield. You can communicate for your trip or delivery without exposing your real, private contact information. This prevents your number from being saved or used for any unwanted contact after the service is complete, enhancing your personal safety.
Control Your Digital Footprint
A super-app like Grab connects many aspects of your daily life. Using a disposable phone number to receive your verification SMS allows you to create your account without linking all that activity directly to your core personal identity. It’s an effective way to manage your digital footprint and maintain a boundary between service providers and your private life.
Seamless and Secure Access to Services
Getting started on Grab should be a hassle-free experience. Our service provides a temporary number instantly, allowing you to get the OTP and confirm your account in minutes. You can book your next ride or order your next meal with confidence, knowing that your personal information is protected from the outset.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, our numbers are specifically designed for Grab registration. Grab 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 Grab account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into Grab. 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 Grab. 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 Grab 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.
