Use your Pinger number as a way to validate registrations with various entities (this option is only available with a Pinger Plus subscription).

Important:

• Pinger doesn’t limit the types of phone calls you can receive. However, certain companies may not allow you to use your Pinger number for verification, thus you may not receive the code.
  • Note: Telegram shortcodes are not supported with a Pinger Plus subscription.
• This is not something that is imposed from our end, so we recommend contacting the service provider who is sending the verification texts to see if they support Pinger phone numbers.

Pinger Plus subscribers also gain access to spam recognition and filtering, helping you to easily identify and avoid calls that may be spam. For more information on the spam filtering feature, click here.
