Upmasked has come up with an innovative SMS verification tool that provides you the privacy you deserve. Get access to free disposable SMS numbers online.
Found it via this project. Probably not so good to use with banking services, but otherwise could be useful.
I like the idea, I loathe giving my number to websites. However a lot of sites will use these numbers to then allow password resets which is a serious security concern. People could just request a number from upmasked, then go to popular services and try to reset any account associated with that number.
Many services won’t allow a reset with just the number, but some will, and it is often unclear when you are offering up a number and you don’t know that these services won’t change their policies in the future.
TL;DR I wouldn’t use this for any accounts I care about.
