Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for Heetch
Heetch is a popular ride-hailing app with a strong presence in France and several African countries. To book a ride, you must create an account and verify a phone number, which is also used to connect you with your driver. For both passengers and drivers, a temporary phone number is an essential safety tool for protecting your privacy on every trip.
Ensure Passenger and Driver Safety
Whether you are a passenger or a driver, a virtual number is a critical safety feature. It allows for necessary communication to happen—like confirming a pickup location—without either party having to reveal their real, personal phone number to a stranger. This protects both passengers and drivers from potential unwanted contact, harassment, or misuse of their private information after the ride is over.
Protect Your Location and Travel History
Your ride-hailing app contains a detailed history of your movements. Using a virtual number helps to de-link this sensitive location data from your core personal identity. It adds a layer of privacy that separates your travel patterns from your primary phone number, which is a smart security practice for anyone navigating the city.
Travel Internationally with Confidence
As Heetch operates in different countries, a temporary virtual number from your destination can make using the service seamless and more private. It allows you to use the local service without registering your primary home-country number, giving you an extra layer of privacy and security while you travel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, our numbers are specifically designed for Heetch registration. Heetch 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 Heetch account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into Heetch. 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 Heetch. 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 Heetch 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.
