This step in the registration process is mandatory. A verified phone number is useful in the future for identity verification and for quickly recovering the password if the user forgets it.<\/p>\n<p>Several verification options are offered to choose from:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Text message that will be sent to the number as a short SMS<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Phone call (the user just needs to answer the call to verify the number)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For maximum convenience, an increasing number of users choose the first option for number verification. If you refuse to enter a number, the user will not be able to create a new account.<\/p>\n<p>But how to create an account if there&#8217;s no desire to use a personal number? In this case, it&#8217;s possible to use virtual, disposable numbers from different countries.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-19473\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/virtual-number-for-apple-id-1024x699.png\" alt=\"virtual number for apple id\" width=\"843\" height=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/virtual-number-for-apple-id-1024x699.png 1024w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/virtual-number-for-apple-id-300x205.png 300w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/virtual-number-for-apple-id-768x524.png 768w, https:\/\/sms-man.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/virtual-number-for-apple-id.png 1251w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 843px) 100vw, 843px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_to_create_apple_id_account_using_a_virtual_number?\"><\/span>How to Create Apple ID Account Using a Virtual Number?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A virtual number is understood as numbers that are not tied to a specific physical device (for example, to a mobile phone\/SIM card).
