How to Buy a Virtual Phone Number for SBI Card Through SMSFAST
To make a purchase and receive SMS online:Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number with Your SBI Card
Your SBI Card is one of India's most popular credit cards, and your registered phone number is a critical part of its security for receiving OTPs and alerts. While you must use your real number for the primary account, you are often prompted to use it for secondary, third-party services like partner offers, contests, or linked loyalty programs. A temporary phone number is the perfect tool for taking advantage of these perks without exposing your primary number.
Protect Your Critical Bank-Registered Number
Your main SBI Card number should be one of your most protected pieces of information. When you sign up for a partner offer (e.g., a discount on a shopping website), using a virtual number is the safest choice. It allows you to redeem the perk without giving your crucial, bank-linked phone number to a third party, protecting it from spam and, more importantly, from being targeted by fraudsters.
Avoid Marketing Spam from Third-Party Partners
When you use your SBI Card for a special promotion, your number can be added to the marketing list of that partner company. A temporary number acts as a firewall. It lets you get the discount or offer while ensuring that all follow-up marketing from that partner goes to a separate line, not your primary phone, keeping your inbox clean.
Enhance Your Overall Financial Security
By using a virtual number for all non-essential, card-related sign-ups, you create a smart security habit. You minimize the number of companies that have your primary phone number, which reduces your overall risk profile. This compartmentalization is a key strategy for keeping your main SBI Card account as secure as possible.
