SMS-MAN: Virtual Numbers for Online Verifications
SMS-MAN is an online platform that provides users with virtual phone numbers they can use to receive SMS messages — especially verification codes when registering accounts or services on the internet. The process is straightforward: you pick a country and the kind of service you want to sign up for (for example a social network, messaging app, or marketplace). Then you obtain a virtual number through the platform and use it as the number to receive the verification SMS. Once the code arrives, you complete the registration process using that code.
The pricing model is flexible: you might pay a very small amount for a single-use number, or you can rent a number for a longer term if you expect to receive multiple SMS messages for ongoing use. The platform also offers an API interface for those who want to use it at scale — for example people creating many accounts or automating the verification process. On its business/partner side, SMS-MAN claims to handle large-volume usage, operate globally, monitor for fraud, and accept a variety of payment methods including prepaid models.
In essence: the business is about enabling you to use a non-personal, virtual phone number for receiving SMS messages online — which can help protect your personal number or enable temporary account setups.
