Gett books ground transport, and the part of that market it owns is the corporate one. Its customers are companies moving employees between offices, airports and client meetings, along with public sector bodies and the large venues that need cars arriving in an orderly stream rather than a scrum outside the door. That business runs on things consumer apps do not bother with: spending policy enforced at booking, cost centres attached to each ride, invoicing that a finance team can reconcile, and reporting that answers where the travel budget went.

In London the company became the way to order a black cab from an app, which matters more than it sounds. Licensed cabs there are held to a standard of knowledge and vehicle quality that private hire is not, and businesses booking travel for clients care about that difference. Gett connected the existing trade to a booking layer instead of building a fleet, which is the same instinct that worked for FREENOW.

Both now sit under the same owner. Lyft agreed in April 2026 to buy Gett's business in that market for around 50 million dollars, with the team moving into FREENOW by Lyft. Placed alongside FREENOW and TBR, it gives Lyft a ground transport platform spanning black cabs, private hire, bikes and executive chauffeur, and roughly doubles the rides it handles in the capital. The Gett brand carries on as it was in Israel, and the purchase is small enough to barely register in Lyft's quarterly figures while filling an obvious gap in its corporate offering.

Booking runs through an account, confirmed by a phone number and an SMS. The number then does the work a car service demands: a driver calling when a pickup point is on a restricted street, arrival alerts, receipts and booking confirmations. Take the confirmation on an additional number and that traffic keeps its own line. It reaches you inside your 5SIM order, while your bookings and travel history stay in Gett.

How to buy a virtual phone number for Gett

Pick Gett from the service list on 5SIM. The countries currently holding numbers for it load next. Choose one and the operators serving that country and service pairing appear.

Every operator line carries price, available quantity and SMS delivery rate together. Weigh all three rather than sorting on price. Low stock behind a weak recent rate usually means a second attempt, which costs more than the cheaper line saved.

Your number lands in the active order as soon as you buy. Enter it in the Gett phone field, request the SMS, and the message arrives in that same order window. Orders stay live for roughly 15 to 20 minutes.

If nothing comes through, cancel the unused active order and the payment returns to your 5SIM balance right away. An unused order left to expire refunds on its own.
