Need a 41 number to verify your account? Get a temporary Swiss phone number from SMSPool and receive the SMS confirmation online, no SIM and no need to be in Switzerland.

A Swiss phone number is necessary for many online services that accept 41 numbers only, from delivery and public transport apps to local offers, loyalty programs and marketplaces like Tutti. These services validate your account with an SMS to a Swiss mobile number, and only local numbers work. Foreign numbers, Swiss landlines and VoIP numbers won't.

What is Tutti and why it asks to get a local number

Tutti is one of the biggest online marketplaces in Switzerland. It offers an easy and convenient way to buy and sell goods and services. Buyers and sellers communicate with each other, negotiate a deal and agree on meeting. Tutti requires phone number confirmation to reduce the amount of scamming on the marketplace.

Why Tutti asks for a Swiss mobile number:

• The marketplace is Swiss, it's not necessarily used by foreigners.
• Mobile numbers are more likely to belong to a real person than VoIP or landlines, Tutti tries to make sure there is a human on the other side.
• Switzerland is a small country and local users are likely to meet each other in person.

How to use a Swiss number to confirm Tutti and other services

Tutti is just one of the apps and sites that may ask for an SMS confirmation with a local number. Other services that accept 41 numbers can be Swiss transport or delivery apps, sites of Swiss companies with loyalty programs, local offers and cashback apps, etc. In general, if a service asks you to confirm a Swiss phone number, you'll be able to get an SMS with SMSPool.

Get a temporary number for Swiss phone number confirmation

It's not always easy to get a Swiss phone number. Here's why:

• Swiss operators often ask for identity documents to get a local SIM card
• Some operators may ask to buy a SIM in person
• You'll most likely need a Swiss address
• eSIMs for travellers are data-only

A temporary Swiss phone number solves all of these problems. Use a disposable 41 phone number to confirm a new account:

• Save time. Registering at Swiss operators takes more effort and time. With SMSPool you receive a Swiss number and use it right away.
• Get the job done. Temporary numbers from SMSPool are Swiss mobile numbers. They can be used to receive an SMS for Swiss phone number confirmation.
• Use one-time numbers for verification. Temp numbers at SMSPool can be used once. Save them for services that matter and get new numbers for everything else.

How to get a temp Swiss phone number for SMS confirmation

Step 1: Add credits. Create a SMSPool account and make a deposit. Choose a deposit method: credit/debit card or crypto.

Step 2: Get your Swiss number. Go to the Order page, select Switzerland as the country and the service you need, then click Quick Purchase and copy your number.

Step 3: Use the number. Enter the number in the field of the app/site that asks for a phone number in Swiss format. Swiss mobile numbers start with 07 within the country and are written like 076 123 45 67. In international format you drop the leading 0, so it becomes 41 76 123 45 67.

Step 4: Receive the SMS. Go back to SMSPool and refresh the page. In most cases the confirmation arrives in 30 seconds to 2 minutes (may take longer).

Step 5: Cancel the order. If you do not wish to use the number, press Refund. Otherwise, wait for the timer to run out and receive an automatic refund.

Registering an SMSPool account takes little effort. It's possible to sign up without an email. Use one-time numbers from SMSPool to get SMS codes for Swiss phone number confirmation.
