Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for NCSoft
Protecting Gamer Privacy and Account Integrity
When you create an account for NCSoft games, such as Lineage or Guild Wars, providing a phone number can link your real identity to your gaming profile. By using a virtual phone number, you establish a crucial buffer, ensuring your primary phone number is not directly exposed to the game publisher's databases, other players, or potential security vulnerabilities. You can securely receive SMS messages for initial account setup, password resets, and two-factor authentication (2FA) codes on this disposable phone. This proactive measure helps safeguard your personal phone number from being included in publicly accessible gaming profiles or compromised in data breaches, thereby preserving your privacy and the integrity of your personal information.
Streamlined Account Verification and Access
NCSoft games frequently employ phone number verification to combat bot accounts, enhance security, and manage access to game features or competitive play. A temporary number makes this verification process quick and efficient. You can easily receive an SMS online containing the OTP (One-Time Password) or verification code directly on your virtual number. This ensures that you can promptly access your games, participate in events, and engage with the community without delay. The ability to receive SMS on a virtual number provides convenience, especially if you prefer not to use your permanent phone number for gaming accounts or if you manage multiple accounts for different game regions or characters.
Avoiding Unwanted Communications
Game publishers can sometimes send promotional text messages, event announcements, or account-related alerts. By using a temporary phone number, you gain better control over these communications. You can use the number to receive essential SMS messages for account setup and critical game-related security notifications. However, if you find yourself receiving non-essential text messages or if your need for the number has passed (e.g., after a specific event), you can simply discard the temporary number. This drastically reduces the chance of your personal phone being targeted by spam or unnecessary text messages, ensuring your primary communication channel remains clear and dedicated to your core interactions.

First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into NCsoft. Also, ensure the number you used is still active and within its valid time frame.
