So I built TempNumberPhone.com — a free, fast, and simple tool to get temporary numbers from the US, UK, and Germany. No sign-up or personal info required.

It’s useful for verifying platforms like Gmail, Facebook, and others without exposing your real number.

Feedback is welcome! Also open to ideas on how to improve it.
