Question

how to have multiple temporary phone numbers ?

Jul 27, 2016 7:49AM PDT

Hello

I own a galaxy phone but i can only have 1 sim card in it.
I would like to have a temp mobile phone number to post some selling ad without sharing my real personnal phone number.

How can i do that?
Did someone tried Swumber application which is supposed to provide virtual phone numbers?

Now get back to Swumber to ask them to finish the answers.

Folk that I know never do this, they will however use a temporary email account for such a thing.

Example temp email.

Create a new gmail or other account for use for this one thing.
When it's gone, forget about the email account you created.

As to your need, you did your initial research but stopped short. That is, you have questions for Swumber but didn't ask them.

Do you have the dual sim model?

"Samsung Galaxy S6 dual sim (SM-G9200)" for example. I do see claims about a "Magic Sim" (google that) but I do not know of anyone that tried it.
