Buy and Sell with Privacy on Ruten with a Virtual Phone Number
Ruten is one of Taiwan's largest and most popular C2C (consumer-to-consumer) e-commerce marketplaces. To facilitate communication between users and maintain a trusted platform, phone verification is a necessary step for registration. Using a temporary phone number is an essential practice for protecting your privacy and security.
Safeguard Your Privacy in a Public Marketplace
When you buy or sell on a public marketplace like Ruten, you are interacting directly with strangers. A virtual phone number allows you to register and communicate without exposing your primary, personal phone number to a massive user base. This is crucial for preventing unwanted calls, spam messages, and potential harassment from other users.
Control Your Communications and Avoid Scams
A disposable phone number helps you manage your transactions safely. You can use it specifically for your Ruten activities, keeping those communications separate from your personal life. It also acts as a first line of defense against common marketplace scams, as you haven't provided a real number that could be used by fraudsters to find more personal information about you.
A Smarter, More Secure Way to Trade Online
Using a virtual number gives you the confidence to buy and sell freely. After you have completed your transaction, you can simply stop using the number, which instantly cuts off any further contact. This simple step ensures you can enjoy the benefits of a huge online marketplace without compromising your personal security and privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, our numbers are specifically designed for Ruten registration. Ruten 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 Ruten account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into Ruten. 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 Ruten. 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 Ruten 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.
