Acceptable Use

These rules are part of our terms of use. They apply to every number and page on TemporaryNum.

What the numbers are for

You may use the public numbers to receive a code for a sign-up you are allowed to make, to test your own apps and services, and to keep your own number private on sites you do not trust.

What you may not do

• commit fraud or a scam, impersonate someone, or take over an account that is not yours;
• create accounts in bulk, or get around a service's limits, bans or identity checks;
• break the terms of the services you sign up to, or any law;
• send spam, harass or threaten anyone, or receive illegal content;
• scrape the site, read it with automated tools in bulk, or put load on it that slows it down for others;
• try to break into the site, interfere with how it works, or get around its security.

Banking and important accounts

Do not use a public number for banking, payments, government services, or any account you want to keep. Anyone can read the codes it receives, and the number can disappear at any time, so you could lose access to the account for good.

What happens if the rules are broken

We may block access to the site, remove a number or a message, and pass information to the authorities when the law requires it.

Report misuse

If you see a number or message being used to break these rules, email support@temporarynum.com with the number and what you saw.
