Mocospace SMS Verification

Meeting new people through chat and games? Complete the Mocospace SMS verification with a virtual number and keep your real phone number away from strangers.

MocoSpace, or Moco, is a mobile-first social network that went live in 2005 and is run today by Boston-based JNJ Mobile. It centres on chat rooms, instant messaging, photo sharing and games for meeting new people, and its help pages state that it is restricted to adults aged 18 or older. It may send an SMS code at sign-up to cut down on fake profiles and spam accounts.

Verifying Moco with a virtual number simply means entering the temporary number on the sign-up screen and typing in the code. It makes sense for people who chat with strangers and want to keep their personal number away from bad actors, or who want to try the platform for a while before committing. Some virtual numbers may not be accepted, in which case another number is needed.

Do not share your address, workplace or bank details with people you meet on Moco, and be wary of profiles that ask for money, gift cards or verification codes, or that push you to another app quickly. Report abusive users with the platform's block and report tools, review your privacy settings and keep your account's recovery email up to date.
