Where in the World - replace lost number - for SMS verifications only

[Florence]

Dear international,

Please allow me to present myself. I am Florence Omobo, a renowned expert in international finance.

From your initial post, I understand that you require assistance to perform security checks with your bank while you are travelling outside Northern Cyprus. Yes, this has become a very common problem recently, but it is a problem which I can easily help you to solve.

For a modest annual fee, which is much less than the 15 pound fishtext fee previously mentioned, I can assist you with your international banking transactions. If you are interested, send me a PM, so that I can give you my postal address to which you should forward your SIM card and bank details.

Best regards,

Florence Omobo

FYI. Line2 is Android as well. You can also access the SMS messages over the web. I don't think it is what you want reading the messages, but felt that I should correct it for the benefit of other readers.

I found a free service called Pinger. It gives you a Us number to send and receive texts. You have to send a text every month though, not to lose your number.

Someone - presumably in another thread, I can't find it now - recommended me a service:

- It was a mobile only app
- Offered free SMS-receiving numbers in a handful of countries (maybe around 5), if I remember correctly, such countries like the US/UK Canada and Germany
- It was not Pinger, definitely

Anyone may remember it and bring it again to my attention?

I much appreciate you!

I am still looking for - THIS one! Have you find it?

Or, is it possible it was Fongo previously offered US/UK, German numbers as well, not only Canadian ones? And Fongo is the one I am looking for.

I doubt it. Fongo is a Canadian company that offers Canadian phone numbers to Canadians only. When I set up my Fongo account several years ago I had to confirm the registration using another Canadian phone number. This is a solution that works well but only for Canadians (and those who can masquerade as Canadians )

This is a dumb question, but what about simply getting an unactivated SIM card from your carrier and stashing it in your suitcase or some place else. If you lose your mobile, call your carrier, verify your identity, and activating the new card.

Also VOIP.MS and Anveo are VOIP providers who now offer SMS compatible DIDs.

I don't know which country you are referring to; but this is simply not how most places operate, I guess.
