Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for Karos
Make your daily commute more efficient and eco-friendly with the Karos carpooling app, while ensuring your personal safety and privacy are the top priority. To connect with drivers or passengers, you must create an account and verify it with a phone number. A temporary phone number is the most important safety tool for any carpooler, creating a vital boundary between you and a stranger.
Protect Your Personal Contact Information
When you carpool, you are sharing a ride with someone you don't know. Using your real phone number can expose you to unwanted contact outside of the arranged trip. By using a virtual phone to receive the initial SMS verification and for communication, you can coordinate your commute without ever revealing your personal number. This is a critical step for your personal safety and privacy.
A Secure and Discreet Way to Coordinate Your Ride
The app requires a quick verification with an OTP (One-Time Password). A disposable phone number provides a secure and discreet way to do this. It also allows you to communicate with your carpool match about pickup times and locations without them having your permanent contact details, ensuring all communication can be kept within the platform if you choose.
Keep Your Commute Patterns Private
Your daily commute reveals where you live and where you work. Using a temporary number adds a layer of anonymity to your Karos profile, making it harder for your travel patterns to be linked to your real-world identity. It’s a proactive measure to ensure that a convenient commute doesn't come at the cost of your personal security.
Frequently Asked Questions

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