Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for Gringo
Gringo is a popular Brazilian app designed to help drivers—including foreigners, as the name implies—manage their vehicle documentation, pay fines, and handle taxes all in one place. To use the app, you need to register with a phone number. This service deals with official documents and personal data, making a virtual phone number a smart choice for privacy and ease of use.
Protect Your Personal and Vehicle Data
The Gringo app links your phone number to sensitive information, including your driver's license details (CNH) and vehicle registration documents. Using a virtual number adds an important layer of privacy, de-linking your core personal phone number from your official vehicle data. In the event of a data breach, your primary contact information remains secure.
Simplify Registration for Foreigners
For "gringos" (foreigners) in Brazil who may not have a local long-term SIM card, registering for essential local services can be difficult. A temporary virtual number provides an instant solution. It allows you to receive the SMS verification code needed to activate your Gringo account, so you can manage your driving legalities without hassle.
Avoid Unwanted Third-Party Offers
Once you register for a service related to car ownership, you may become a target for marketing from insurance companies, auto shops, or other related businesses. A temporary number shields you from this. It allows you to use the Gringo app for its intended purpose while protecting your primary phone line from being flooded with unsolicited commercial offers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, our numbers are specifically designed for Gringo registration. Gringo 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 Gringo account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into Gringo. 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 Gringo. 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 Gringo 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.
A number is valid for up to 20 minutes for SMS verification purposes. This ensures you have enough time to receive your verification code and complete the registration.
