Can I verify Skype with a virtual number?

Yes — buy a temporary Skype number on OTPWave, receive the SMS code on screen, and complete verification. Availability depends on live provider stock and Skype's own rules; the buy screen shows real-time availability and each operator's delivery rate, and you're refunded automatically if a code never arrives.

How much does a Skype number cost?

Pricing is pay-as-you-go and shown before you buy — it varies by country and operator. There's no subscription, and you only pay for numbers that actually deliver the code.

Do I keep my Skype account after the temporary number expires?

Usually yes. Most social apps only use the SMS code to confirm the account at signup or when re-verifying — once you're in, the account is yours and the temporary number has done its job. Some apps re-check the number later, which OTPWave can't control.

Which country should I choose for Skype?

Pick based on availability and price — the buy screen lists every country with live stock and each operator's delivery rate for Skype. If one country is out of stock or has a low rate, another usually works.

Why use a virtual number for Skype?

Messaging and social platforms tie every account to a phone number — both to cut down on spam and to let people find you. A virtual number lets you confirm a new profile, a business account or a second handle without handing over your personal SIM.

Instant delivery

The number is assigned immediately and the Skype code appears on screen automatically.

Only pay if it works

If the number expires without the code, you're refunded automatically — no tickets.
