    What is Virtual mobile number?

    Also known as: VMN

    A virtual mobile number is a standard mobile number that lives in software instead of on a SIM card, letting a business send and receive SMS through a platform rather than a handset.

    Because it is a normal mobile number, it behaves exactly as recipients expect: they can reply, save it as a contact, and receive one-time codes on it. What differs is where the messages land — in a shared inbox that a whole team can see.

    That shared visibility is what makes virtual numbers useful for team workflows like receiving SMS verification codes for accounts that only allow a single mobile number.
