Yophone SMS Verification

For encrypted chats and video calls, receive your Yophone SMS verification code on a virtual number and open an account without sharing your main number.

Yophone is a communication app offering free messaging, voice and video calls, groups and channels, file sharing, an AI assistant and payments. It says personal messages are protected with end-to-end encryption, and its privacy policy names Soft Construct Limited, based on the Isle of Man, as the provider. Creating an account starts with verifying a phone number.

With a virtual number you enter the temporary number in Yophone, type in the code and set up your profile. Since the app works on several devices, it is a practical way to try a new messenger, keep work and personal conversations apart, or join groups and channels without handing out your private number.

Messenger accounts are bound to their number: switching phones or being logged out can trigger a new code, and losing access to a temporary number can mean losing your chats. For an account you plan to keep, use a permanent number, enable any extra security options the app offers, and never share your verification code.
