Benefits of Using a Temporary Number for LinkedIn
LinkedIn is the world's largest professional network, essential for career development, networking, and job hunting. To ensure the authenticity of profiles and secure your account, LinkedIn requires phone number verification. While necessary, you may not want your personal phone number directly associated with your public professional profile. A virtual phone number allows you to secure your account while maintaining control over your personal contact details.
Control Your Professional Persona
Your LinkedIn profile is your public professional face. A virtual number allows you to complete the two-factor authentication (2FA) setup without giving out the personal number you use for family and friends. This creates a clear boundary between your personal and professional lives, ensuring that recruiters or new connections can't contact you on your private line unless you explicitly provide it to them.
Avoid Unsolicited Sales Calls and Spam
Sales professionals and marketers often use LinkedIn to find leads. Once your phone number is associated with your profile, it can become a target for unsolicited sales calls and messages. By using a virtual number for verification, you protect your primary number from being harvested for marketing purposes, keeping your personal line clean and professional.
A Secure Step in Your Career
Securing your LinkedIn account is a vital step in protecting your professional reputation. Our service provides a reliable virtual number instantly, allowing you to receive the verification OTP and enable 2FA without any hassle. It's a smart, simple way to enhance your account's security while ensuring your personal contact information remains private.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, our numbers are specifically designed for LinkedIn registration. LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into LinkedIn. 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 LinkedIn. 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 LinkedIn 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.
