What’s the best app for temporary phone numbers?

[Young Orlando]

I often need temporary phone numbers for online accounts or short-term projects. Is there an app that provides this service without requiring a physical SIM card?

I’ve been using FreshNumber https://freshnumber.com for exactly this purpose, and it’s amazing! Their Second Phone App gives you temporary phone numbers for calls and SMS, which is perfect for online verifications or one-time use cases. It’s incredibly convenient because everything is handled digitally—no extra SIM cards or devices required. The app is easy to use and ensures your privacy is always protected.

I was designing a SIM-based IoT module and needed to test SMS reception without using a physical card. Found 7sim.net — picked a UK number directly in the browser, no registration needed. The code arrived in under two minutes. Since it’s a real SIM-based number, not VoIP, it worked with the verification system. Didn’t have to install anything or use a live SIM.

Besides two lines of text reading "NOMOS Glashutte" and link "Made in Germany," the text on the watch is spare. Arabic link minute markers in five-minute increments surround the outermost part of the dial and mint link green indices mark the three, six, nine, and 12 o'clock hour markers. The manual-wind watch is powered by the in-house Alpha caliber.

This idea has been in link my mind for more than two years, Rexhepi says. If you've been to Switzerland, no doubt you'll recognize the inspiration for this stop seconds mechanism: the Swiss railway clocks seen in train stations across the country that briefly pause before ticking forward to the link next minute. Rexhepi has left the Minute Inerte's dial open at 6 o'clock link to allow a glimpse at the mechanism of the complication.
