Temporary phone numbers are short-term, disposable phone numbers used to protect your privacy and avoid sharing your personal number. They’re commonly used for online verifications, signing up for services, or communicating with strangers, such as during classified ads or short-term transactions. These numbers can be active for a few minutes, hours, or days, and are typically provided by mobile apps or websites.
