Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for Medium
Medium is a popular online platform where writers can publish their thoughts and readers can discover insightful articles on a wide range of topics. To create an account, write, or comment, you may need to verify your identity with a phone number. For any writer or reader who values their privacy, a temporary phone number is an essential tool for protecting your identity.
Write with Anonymity and Confidence
Many writers on Medium use a pseudonym or prefer to keep their writing persona separate from their real-world identity. A virtual number is key to maintaining this separation. It allows you to create and verify your account without linking your articles and opinions directly to your personal phone number. This protects you from potential harassment and allows you to write freely.
Protect Your Personal Information
A temporary number ensures that your primary phone number is not stored in Medium's database, protecting it from being exposed in a potential data breach. This is a crucial step in protecting your core contact information and preventing it from being linked to your online publications and reading habits.
Avoid Unwanted Notifications
Using a temporary number can also help you control the notifications you receive from the platform. It allows you to keep your personal SMS inbox clean from platform alerts, letting you engage with Medium's content and community on your own schedule, without constant interruptions on your personal line.

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