Every time you have to register on a website, an email address is required, and in some cases, to avoid leaving the main email address, you resort to those temporary email addresses, which are used only to verify your users. and which can be automatically and instantly generated in seconds. To avoid this, some more stringent and personal online services, that is, that a person can register 100 times with different accounts verified through temporary addresses, ask to verify the mobile number. In telephone verification, the user must provide a telephone number to receive a randomly generated code via SMS or voice call and confirm that he is a real person and not a spam bot. The purpose of telephone verification is always the same, to prevent a user from having multiple accounts.
Also for this reason, however, there are ways to overcome this protection by providing a phone number that is only used to receive SMS online and confirm the code . In practice they are online services that provide a number and that only serve to receive confirmation SMS, not therefore to be used for personal purposes.
