Security is non-negotiable when dealing with cryptocurrency. When linking a phone number to your Luno account for verification or two-factor authentication (2FA), a temporary phone number adds an invaluable layer of protection. It prevents your primary, long-term phone number from being directly exposed to potential data breaches, phishing attempts, or SIM-swapping scams. You can securely receive SMS messages containing OTPs for logins, transaction confirmations, and password resets on a disposable phone. This means that even if the virtual number is somehow compromised, your main phone number remains safe and untraceable, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access to your crypto assets.
Your phone number is a critical piece of personal information, often collected and used for identification purposes. By opting for a temporary phone number for Luno, you maintain a higher degree of privacy. You can get SMS online for the initial account setup and ongoing verification without permanently associating your private number with your financial transactions. This prevents your personal phone number from being logged in various databases or potentially shared with third parties. It allows you to manage your financial services discreetly, ensuring that your core contact information is not widely disseminated and that you don't receive unwanted promotional text messages on your device, thereby maintaining your financial privacy.
Luno, like other financial platforms, frequently requires SMS verification for various actions, from account creation to significant transactions, as part of its Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance. A temporary number simplifies this process. You can easily receive SMS containing the necessary OTP to complete these verification steps quickly and efficiently. This provides flexible account access without exposing your primary contact details. The convenience of receiving SMS messages instantly on your virtual number ensures that you can conduct your Luno transactions smoothly and securely, while keeping your permanent phone number separate from your financial activities and meeting regulatory requirements.
Either create a new account by clicking "Registration" or log in if you already have one.

Both options let you receive an SMS code on a Luno number. The difference is in reliability and privacy.
Yes, our numbers are specifically designed for Luno registration. Luno 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 Luno account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into Luno. 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 Luno. 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.
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.
Yes, we provide real, non-VoIP numbers from local SIM cards. You can use to register on a variety of services.
No, you generally cannot reuse the same temporary number for Luno registration. It is designed for one-time SMS verification. If you need to register another account, you'll require a new code from a new virtual number.
Yes, it is safe. Using SMSFAST numbers for services like Luno significantly enhances your privacy and security. This allows you to avoid exposing your personal number.
