A temporary number or a number from an app?
They are built for different jobs. If you want a phone number you will use for calls and chats and keep for months, an app is the better buy. If all you need is one code for one sign-up, a temporary number covers it without a subscription.
| Temporary number | Virtual number from an app | |
|---|---|---|
| What you pay | One number for one sign-up, from $0.01 | A monthly subscription, often for each number |
| If the code does not come | The money goes back to your balance after 20 minutes | Usually lost: a failed code is not refunded |
| WhatsApp, Telegram and similar apps | Many numbers come from mobile carriers, which these apps usually accept | The apps say codes are not guaranteed; some name WhatsApp and Telegram |
| Countries | 211 countries | Mostly the US plus one or two |
| Setup | Nothing to install | Install an app and create an account |
| Calls and chats | No, SMS only | Yes, that is what they are for |
| Keep the number for months | No, it is for one sign-up | Yes, while you pay |

Real or virtual Netherlands number: which one?
A Netherlands number comes from a mobile carrier, and apps that refuse virtual numbers usually accept it. Sint Maarten is cheaper and fine for many sign-ups, but some apps reject virtual numbers.
