Why use a virtual number?
When you sign up for Signal, WhatsApp, or Telegram with your personal phone number, you're linking your identity to that account permanently. That number can be looked up, leaked in data breaches, or used to track you across platforms.
A virtual number breaks that link. You get a real, working phone number — just not one tied to your name, your SIM card, or your mobile contract. The app works exactly the same. The difference is privacy.
This matters especially if you're a journalist protecting sources, an activist in a sensitive environment, someone escaping a stalker, or simply a person who believes your communication tools shouldn't double as surveillance tools.
How this service works
This isn't a DIY product — it's a guided service. Here's what happens after you order:
1. You tell us what you need
Select your preferred app (Signal, Molly, Telegram X, or WhatsApp) and how you'd like us to contact you (Email, WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram).
2. We set up your number
We source a virtual number from premium providers based on your requirements. We can discuss country preferences if needed — some countries have longer number retention than others.
3. We guide you through activation
We send you the SMS verification code via your chosen messenger and walk you through the activation process. We also share security tips specific to your app.
4. You're done
Your app is now linked to a number that isn't connected to your real identity. No SIM card, no contract, no paper trail.
What to expect — honest answers
We believe in transparency. Here's what you should know:
Numbers are temporary by nature. Virtual numbers are sourced from telecom pools. After a period of inactivity (typically 3–8 months), providers may recycle them. This is industry-standard — we can't change how telecoms operate.
We use premium sources only. We don't use free or throwaway number services. Our providers are paid services with better retention rates. Based on years of experience, we know which country codes and providers last longest for each app.
We can't guarantee permanent ownership. If someone else registers the same number months later, they could potentially receive your verification codes. That's why we recommend: don't link payment methods or sensitive 2FA to accounts using virtual numbers.
This is for activation, not ongoing SMS. The service is designed for initial app registration. If you need to re-verify later and the number is no longer available, you may need a new number.
Best practices for maximum privacy
• Use with a CryptPhone — A virtual number on a GrapheneOS device means neither your phone nor your number can identify you
• Don't link banking or payment apps — Use virtual numbers for messaging only, not financial services
• Enable registration lock — Signal and WhatsApp have PIN features that prevent re-registration even if someone gets your number later
• Consider app-specific advice — We'll share tips for your specific app during setup
Supported applications
Signal — End-to-end encrypted messaging. Our most popular request.
Molly — Hardened Signal fork with additional security features.
Telegram X — Lightweight Telegram client.
WhatsApp — Widely used, though we recommend Signal or Molly for higher security needs.

Why order through Cryptvice?
You could try to find virtual number services yourself. Many are scams. Others are free services that recycle numbers within days. Some keep logs of which numbers went to which customers.
We've been doing this since 2019. We know which providers work, which countries have the best retention, and which apps have specific requirements. You get our experience, our premium sources, and personal support — not a random number generator.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get my activation code?
After you place your order, we'll contact you via your chosen messenger (Email, WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram). We create a virtual number based on your requirements and send you the SMS verification code directly.
We also provide security tips specific to your app — like enabling registration lock and protecting your account from future takeover attempts.
How long will my number stay active?
Based on our experience, most numbers remain active for 3–8 months. This depends on the country, provider, and app you're using.
We use premium paid services only (never free throwaway numbers), which gives better retention rates. However, we cannot guarantee permanent ownership — this is how the virtual number industry works globally.
What happens if someone else gets my number later?
After months of inactivity, telecom providers may recycle numbers to new customers. If this happens, that person could potentially receive verification codes meant for you.
That's why we strongly recommend:
• Enable registration lock/PIN in your app immediately after activation
• Don't link payment methods to accounts using virtual numbers
• Don't use virtual numbers for banking or sensitive 2FA
Can I choose which country my number is from?
Yes, we can discuss country preferences during setup. Some countries have better number retention than others for specific apps.
Based on years of experience, we know which country codes work best for Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Molly. We'll recommend the best option based on your needs.
What if the activation doesn't work?
We provide personal assistance throughout the entire process. If something doesn't work — whether it's a blocked number, failed verification, or technical issue — we'll troubleshoot with you and source an alternative number if needed.
You're not left alone with a code that doesn't work. That's the difference between our service and random online number generators.
