- **Public & Shared Inboxes:** All phone numbers on this platform are public. Any text message received is displayed openly and visible to any visitor viewing that number.
- **Never Use for Sensitive Accounts:** Do NOT use these numbers for banking, credit card verifications, PayPal, cryptocurrency wallets, government portals, or primary personal email recovery.
- **Inbound Only:** These virtual lines cannot send outbound SMS, place phone calls, or receive voice calls.
