Benefits of Using a Temporary Phone Number for WINDS
WINDS is an Indian "Super App" that aims to redefine the shopping experience by offering cashback and rewards across a wide range of transactions. To join the program and start earning, you must register with a phone number. A temporary phone number is the smartest way to take advantage of the rewards without having your contact information shared across a vast network of partners.
Protect Your Number from a Wide Partner Network
The power of a multi-brand rewards program is also its biggest privacy risk. When you register with WINDS, your phone number could be shared with all participating partners for their own marketing campaigns. A virtual number acts as a firewall. It allows you to use the app to earn cashback, while protecting your primary number from being distributed to dozens of different companies.
Consolidate Rewards, Not Spam
A temporary number lets you enjoy the benefits of a unified rewards program without getting a unified stream of spam. It receives the initial verification SMS to get you started, and then acts as a filter for all the promotional texts from various retailers and service providers. This keeps your personal phone line clean and reserved for your own communications.
Maintain Control Over Your Data
Using a temporary number for loyalty programs is a simple way to maintain control over your personal data. It allows you to get discounts and earn rewards without creating a permanent link between your consumer habits and your primary phone number. It gives you the freedom to engage with your favorite brands on your own terms and with greater privacy.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can. SMSFAST allows you to rent multiple virtual numbers, meaning you can use a unique number for each WINDS account.
First, double-check that you've copied the SMS code precisely as it appeared in your SMSFAST account and entered it correctly into WINDS. 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 WINDS. In such cases, we recommend simply renting a new temporary phone number and repeating the registration process.

- Request resend: On the WINDS 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.
