Keeping your home SIM active
So bank codes still reach you
Verification codes on virtual numbers
Why they often do not arrive
numbers
If you bought a number to receive a WhatsApp, Telegram or bank code, it will probably not arrive, and we would rather tell you now.
Why
Those services keep lists of number ranges that belong to internet telephony providers and refuse them outright. The message is blocked before it ever reaches us, so there is nothing on our side to fix and nothing in the logs to show you.
It is also against the rules
Using a ThirdSIM number for third-party verification codes breaches our Acceptable Use Policy. Several verification-code messages within an hour suspend the number automatically and flag the account. If review confirms it, the number is released.
What these numbers are good for
Real conversations: client calls on a local number, work texts kept out of your personal inbox, one number your team can always reach while you travel.
If you already bought one for codes
Open a ticket. If the number has not been used, we will sort it out with you.
