4. Shortcode/verification code support 

With a Pinger Plus subscription, you will be able to use your Pinger number as a way to validate registrations with various entities (where this option is unavailable with a Pinger "free" account).

Note: You can also receive shortcodes via TextFree Web if you prefer to use your computer for Web-based texting. 

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.
