Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for RIDE
Navigate your city with a RIDE e-scooter or ride-sharing service while keeping your personal travel patterns and contact information private. To unlock a vehicle and start your trip, you need to create an account and verify it with your phone number. A temporary phone number is the smart commuter's choice for enjoying the convenience of micro-mobility without sacrificing personal privacy.
Keep Your Location History Private
Your daily travel patterns create a detailed map of your life—where you live, work, and socialize. By using a virtual phone number to register for a RIDE app, you create a separation between this sensitive location data and your true identity. This ensures your movements are not directly linked to your primary phone number, which is often connected to many other aspects of your life.
A Quick and Secure Way to Get Moving
The sign-up process for a RIDE app is designed to be fast, requiring a simple verification with an OTP (One-Time Password). A disposable phone number makes this step instant and private. You can get the code, create your account, and be on your way in minutes, all without providing a permanent contact number that could be used for marketing purposes.
A Filter for Unwanted Promotions
Using a ride-sharing app can often lead to a stream of promotional messages about discounts, new service areas, or partner offers. A temporary number acts as a filter, keeping this marketing clutter off your personal phone line. It allows you to receive essential trip-related notifications without the constant noise, making your travel experience cleaner and more focused.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, our numbers are specifically designed for RIDE registration. RIDE 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 RIDE account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into RIDE. 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 RIDE. 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 RIDE 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.
