Updated 4 min read

It can be useful when you need a number for a particular online service without arranging another physical SIM card. 5SIM lets you select an available number and receive the SMS online through your dashboard.
Receive SMS online for Flam verification – Virtual Number for SMS Verification
Flam makes printed and static media move. Point a phone at a magazine page, a poster or a product box and a three-dimensional scene rises out of it, without anyone downloading an app first. The experience opens from a scannable link in under 300 milliseconds, which is the number the whole business rests on: augmented reality has failed commercially for a decade largely because it asked people to install something before they could see anything.
Founded in 2021 and working out of Bengaluru and San Francisco, the company sells this as infrastructure rather than as one-off campaigns. Brands and their agencies build the experience on Flam's platform and publish it wherever their media already goes, so the augmented layer attaches to a billboard or a packet of cereal without a separate media plan. More than 100 corporate customers use it, Google, Samsung, Emirates and Mahindra among them, and a network of 600,000 creators builds the content.
The scale is genuinely unusual for this category. Flam counts over 380 million users reached and 700 million interactions, figures that exist because the format removes every step between curiosity and seeing something. Investors have backed the approach with a 14 million dollar Series A led by RTP Global with Dovetail alongside, taking total funding to 22 million, earmarked for expansion across North America, Europe and the Middle East.
Getting onto the platform means an account, and Flam confirms a phone number by SMS. This is a working tool for marketers, agency staff and creators rather than a consumer app, so the number afterwards carries sign-in checks, workspace invitations, campaign notifications and product updates. Plenty of people prefer that a work platform did not sit on their personal line. Take the confirmation on an additional number and it arrives inside your 5SIM order, while your projects and published experiences stay in Flam.
How to buy a virtual phone number for Flam
Choose Flam in the service list on 5SIM. The countries stocked for it right now load next. Pick one and the operators available for that country and service pairing appear.
Each operator line carries price, available quantity and SMS delivery rate side by side. Take all three together. A cheap line running low with a weak recent record often needs a second attempt, which costs more than the difference saved.
The number you buy waits in your active order. Enter it in the Flam phone field, request the SMS, and the message lands in that order window. Orders stay active for roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
If nothing turns up, cancel the unused active order and your payment returns to the 5SIM balance at once. An unused order left to run out refunds by itself.

Pros of using temp numbers for Flam
A temporary virtual number can add flexibility when using Flam, particularly for short-term registrations, travel, regional services or other supported online scenarios.
Regional checks: Different country and operator options can help when a team needs to examine a regional flow. This can be convenient when you prefer service-specific messages to stay grouped separately.
Fast setup: There is no need to arrange a physical SIM for a limited testing or setup step. It can also be handy when using Flam from a different country or while traveling.
Clear message access: Incoming SMS can be viewed directly in the 5SIM dashboard. The result is a clear separation around Flam while your usual number stays focused on everyday communication.
Current availability: Countries, operators and delivery statistics can be checked before selecting a route. This is useful when you want Flam-related messages to remain easy to identify.
Testing flexibility: A temporary number can provide a short-lived endpoint for a supported registration or SMS scenario. For Flam, it keeps the relevant registration separate from unrelated online services.
