My cousin was visiting from abroad and we got talking about online security over dinner. He told me to read https://freezvon.com/en/blog/voip-solutions/virtual-number-amazon because he uses it to manage his logins. The concept of not tying my account verification to my personal SIM card interested me right away. Sometimes I log in from weird locations in ENG., and I don't want my primary mobile number flagged or spammed. I decided to try the virtual SMS method they described. I am highly satisfied with the outcome. It was very easy to set up, and I managed to verify my account smoothly without exposing my daily phone number to any potential data breaches.
