Short answer
No. Talk360 does not support registration using virtual, VoIP, or temporary phone numbers.
What this article is about
This article explains why virtual phone numbers cannot be used to create a Talk360 account and the risks associated with virtual numbers.
Why virtual phone numbers are not supported
Talk360 requires a real, reachable mobile phone number to:
Verify account ownership via SMS
Prevent fraud, misuse, and automated registrations
Meet legal and telecom compliance requirements
Virtual or temporary numbers cannot reliably meet these requirements and are therefore blocked by design.
Risks of using virtual phone numbers
Virtual phone numbers may appear convenient, but they often carry risks such as:
Unreliable SMS delivery, especially for verification codes
Shared or recycled numbers, which can lead to account conflicts
Higher fraud and abuse rates, triggering automatic security blocks
Limited recovery options if access is lost
Due to these risks, many services, including Talk360, restrict or reject virtual numbers.
What you can do instead
To register successfully, use:
A real mobile phone number
A number that can receive SMS
The same number throughout the verification process
Once verified, your Talk360 account can be used normally.
What Talk360 can and cannot do
✅ Verify real mobile phone numbers securely
❌ Accept virtual, VoIP, or temporary numbers
❌ Override verification rules or whitelist virtual numbers
Support cannot enable registration using virtual phone numbers.
When this is expected behavior
If registration fails when using a virtual phone number, this is expected behavior, not a technical error.
