Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for OBI
Take on your next DIY project with supplies from OBI, the major European home improvement retailer, while keeping your personal information private. To join their loyalty program ("heyOBI"), place an online order, or arrange a delivery, you need to provide a phone number. A temporary phone number is the smart DIYer's best tool for a secure and spam-free shopping experience.
Protect Your Privacy on Home Projects
Planning a major renovation or a simple garden update is your own business. Using a virtual phone number for your OBI account allows you to purchase materials and schedule services without linking your project directly to your primary phone number. This is especially useful when coordinating with multiple departments, as it keeps your personal number out of many different hands.
A Secure and Private Way to Shop
The process of creating an account requires a quick verification with an OTP (One-Time Password). A disposable phone number makes this step simple and private. You can get your account set up, place your order, and arrange for delivery, all with the confidence that your personal contact information isn't being stored for long-term marketing campaigns.
A Firewall Against Endless DIY Marketing
After you've finished your project, you may not want to receive weekly texts about power tool sales or seasonal promotions. A temporary number acts as a firewall, protecting your personal phone line from the targeted marketing that follows a home improvement purchase. It allows you to use the store for your specific needs without being pulled into an ongoing marketing cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, our numbers are specifically designed for OBI registration. OBI 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 OBI account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into OBI. 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 OBI. 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 OBI 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.
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 OBI 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.
