Using one-time numbers to maintain privacy when registering for the Crypto Service

If you want to keep your privacy when buying crypto, it may be better to use a one-time number when signing up for a service.

This article will cover the basics of how to use a one-time number, including how to purchase one.

One-time numbers…What are they?

Temporary phone numbers can be used for a limited period of time, usually to register for a social media platform. Usually you need to contact your service provider to get a new number if needed. Depending on your chosen provider, there may even be a long processing time involved.

But with the help of a telecom provider like Hottelecom, you don’t need to get permission from a mobile provider to get a new number. Getting one yourself is very easy!

And unlike other VoIP numbers, there is no associated subscription fee because it expires when used. Should you need to access it again for account verification, you can pay for temporary access to the same number.

Get a one-time number

If you’re worried that the process will be lengthy, don’t worry. Consider the entire process as easy as ordering a digital product such as an e-book online. Below is how you can get one with Hottelecom. The exact process may vary between different providers, but the general flow should be the same.

1. Go to the homepage

If you want to learn more about VoIP and its offerings, this is the place. We recommend that you shop around to ensure that a one-time number is the best fit for you.

There should be a big blue button there that says “Buy Virtual Number Online.” Just click that button. This should trigger the opening of another tab where you will do the rest of the steps.

2. Select the number type you are looking for

You will see “Step 1: Select type of number”. Hottelecom offers a few options including toll free numbers, fax, SMS, call and one time SMS numbers. Please note that for other suppliers the selection may be named differently. At least for our purposes, you should click on the last one.

Next, select the country where you want to register your service. After you have done so, you will be able to select from a drop-down menu a list of services where you will be able to use the number. There is an “Other” option if you don’t see it there.

3. Register yourself

So you don’t need to fill in the information; you can simply use the Google Sign in button to go to the next step. Otherwise, click the Register button and fill in all the information you are asked for.

If you already have a Hottelecom account, skip this step.

4. Pay for the purchase

Review the details to make sure everything is in order. Then proceed to pay for it. Hottelecom covers many payment methods, so you don’t have to worry about it. You will also be able to use it immediately after payment.

If you are interested in purchasing, please do not do so without reading this first. We want you to be fully informed about your purchase decision before proceeding.

Do you need to meet certain requirements to get the number?

No not at all! As long as it is legal to buy one in your country, you will be able to do so. The only thing that comes close to a demand will be the payment for the number.

Is there a limit to how many you can get?

Not at all. As long as the number you want is available, you can use it. Feel free to order as many as you need!

Are there any downsides to getting a virtual disposable number?

If the reason you’re getting one is aligned with the purpose of the number, there shouldn’t be any downside. For example, you change your phone all the time, so you always have to reconfirm your phone number. In this case, you may be better off with a regular virtual number that does not expire.

How does a temporary number work?

Once you have purchased it, you will be able to use it. With Hottelecom, the entire process can be done in two steps. Just use the number to register for the service where it can be used. Then wait for a confirmation code. It will appear as an “SMS message” in your personal account.

Where can I get one?

There are many telecom companies today so this should not be a problem. Your greater concern should be to choose a provider that delivers on its promise. That’s why it’s important to only stick with those who have a proven track record in the VoIP industry.
