Read full description

GhostSIM is a privacy tool that gives you a temporary virtual number for SMS verification: sign up for services without handing over your own phone number, and read the code in the app seconds later. If no code arrives, your credits are refunded automatically. HOW IT WORKS • Pick a service and a country. • Buy the number; it appears on screen. • When the verification SMS arrives, the code is copied to your clipboard automatically. • If the number is never used, the credits go back to your balance. WHY GHOSTSIM • Your own number stays private: a temporary number goes into the sign-up form instead. • A wide choice of countries and hundreds of services. • Credit based: you pay for the numbers you use, with no mandatory subscription. • No account needed; the app creates an anonymous profile on first launch. • 14 interface languages: English, Turkish, German, Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian, Arabic, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Ukrainian. • Dark theme, clean interface, no ads. CREDITS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS • Credit packs are one-time purchases and never expire. • Weekly and monthly Pro subscriptions top you up regularly; cancel any time in your store account. • The credit price of every number is shown before you buy it. GOOD TO KNOW • GhostSIM only shows incoming verification messages; it cannot place calls or send SMS. • Numbers are temporary, meant for a single verification, and are not reserved for you permanently. • Use the app to keep your own accounts private; using it in ways that break a service's own rules is not allowed.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: GhostSIM at none against Talking Translator's shown. GhostSIM also leads on device support (3 vs 1). Talking Translator's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 11 days). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
