Public number pages are public by design
A public receive-SMS page is not an individual mailbox. The number may be shared by many visitors, and messages displayed on the page can be read without proving ownership of the number.
Is Receiving SMS Online Safe?
Receiving SMS on a public number is safe only for low-risk messages that you are comfortable making public. Anyone can open the same number page and read displayed messages. Never use a public number for financial, medical, government, recovery, password-reset, or identity-related communication.
Information you should never send
Do not send passwords, financial codes, payment details, medical information, government identifiers, recovery links, private conversations, or any message that could provide access to an important account.
Account and recovery risk
Public numbers can be reused, blocked, removed, or viewed by another person. If an account needs continued access or recovery, use a personal or private number that you control.
Respect platform rules
A temporary number does not override the rules of the website or app sending the SMS. Do not use MyTempSMS for fraud, spam, automated bulk accounts, harassment, or any unlawful activity.
