Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for MPaisa
MPaisa is a major mobile money service in Fiji, operated by Vodafone, that allows users to send and receive money, pay bills, and make purchases directly from their phone. Your phone number is your account number, making it a critical piece of your financial identity. A dedicated virtual number provides an enhanced layer of security for managing your mobile money.
Add a Security Layer to Your Mobile Wallet
While your primary SIM is your main account, using a virtual number for online registrations that might link to your MPaisa account is a crucial security step. It prevents you from exposing your primary, money-linked MPaisa number on websites or apps that could be insecure. This protects you from having your main account number targeted by scammers who know it's a mobile wallet.
Separate Daily Spending from Your Core Identity
A virtual number allows you to create a degree of separation between your everyday transactions and your core personal identity. It gives you a way to interact with services that accept mobile money payments without always providing your primary phone number, enhancing your privacy in day-to-day commerce.
Avoid Targeted Scams
Scammers in mobile money markets often send fake transaction alerts or requests for payment. By keeping your primary MPaisa number as private as possible and using a virtual number for other online activities, you reduce the risk of your number falling into the wrong hands. This makes you a harder target for the convincing scams that target mobile money users.

Yes, you can. SMSFAST allows you to rent multiple virtual numbers, meaning you can use a unique number for each MPaisa account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into MPaisa. 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 MPaisa. In such cases, we recommend simply renting a new temporary phone number and repeating the registration process.
