Hey, everyone! I need a virtual phone number for my Apple ID to set up registration and two-factor authentication. There are tons of websites online, but half of them don’t work, or the text messages just don’t go through. Where can I find some good advice or an article that clearly explains how to set everything up without losing access to my account later? Thanks in advance!
I had exactly the same problem a couple of weeks ago. I went through a bunch of websites with phone numbers - sometimes the text message wouldn’t come through, and other times Apple would say the number couldn’t be used. Eventually, I stumbled upon a great guide on the blog https://freezvon.com/en/blog/voip-solutions/virtual-number-apple-id it explains, without any complicated jargon, what the trick is and how to properly rent a number for your Apple ID. It took me about five minutes to read, I realized my mistake, and I sorted everything out right away. The key is to choose a number that allows you to receive SMS messages multiple times. The article is great - I highly recommend saving it.
