### Benefits of using a virtual phone number to verify a Facebook account

A virtual phone number, also known as a disposable phone number, can be used to verify a Facebook account. There are several benefits to using a virtual phone number to verify a Facebook account, including:

1. Privacy: By using a virtual phone number, you can keep your personal phone number private and avoid sharing it with Facebook.
2. Avoiding spam: Using a virtual phone number can help prevent spam calls or texts to your personal phone number.
3. Multiple accounts: You can use one virtual phone number for multiple Facebook accounts, which can be useful for creating multiple accounts for business or personal use.
4. Flexibility: Some virtual phone number services allow you to forward calls and texts to another phone number, so you can access the verification code even if you are not physically near your phone.
5. Avoiding phone number bans: Facebook may ban a phone number if it's been used to create multiple accounts, by using a virtual phone number you can avoid the ban.
6. Traveling: If you are traveling abroad, and your phone number is not accessible, you can use a virtual phone number with a local area code to access the verification code.

However, it's important to note that while it's technically possible to use virtual phone numbers to verify a Facebook account, it is against Facebook's terms of service to create fake accounts or to use multiple accounts. Additionally, creating fake accounts to impersonate or deceive others is illegal in some countries, and can lead to legal consequences.\


### Is possible to bypass the verification of Facebook with a virtual number?

Yes. You can use a temporary phone numbers service like [eztalks](https://eztalks.com), Burner, Hushed, or TextNow to receive the verification code SMS from Facebook and bypass the verification.
