Why Use a Virtual Number for Mercado in Costa Rica?
Here’s the deal: tossing your real number at every app is an open invitation to spam, data leaks, and account mix-ups. A virtual number keeps things neat and private.
Avoid using your real phone number.
Keep your personal SIM off random databases and promo lists. Protect your identity and your inbox.
Works for sign-ups, logins, and OTPs
Most services still rely on SMS for verification. A virtual number receives those codes just like a SIM, but without the clutter.
Great for privacy and multiple accounts
Running a personal, business, and testing profile? Rental numbers make it painless, with no device juggling.
Fast, reliable delivery in Costa Rica
In practice, OTPs land in ~5–10 seconds. Many users find that they can see codes even faster than with a local SIM.
