Every virtual number gets
its own private inbox
Spin up a virtual number and a matching [email protected] inbox in one move. Register, catch verification codes, and collect mail - while your real number and email never leave your hands.
Private Inbox
Your real email is doing too much talking
Drop your everyday address into every form and login, and it quietly works against you in four ways.
Spam that never quits
Each new account quietly passes your address along, and your inbox fills with mail you never asked to receive.
Leaked in breaches
Databases get dumped every week. Every company storing your real address is one breach away from exposing it.
Tracked everywhere
An email is a tidy identifier. Brands match and trade it to follow you from one app to the next.
Impossible to take back
Once your address is out there, there's no undo. You can't un-share an email that has already been passed around.
Privacy that comes standard
Spin up a number and a matching inbox arrives with it - ready to receive, while your real email stays private.
One inbox per number
Every number you rent carries its own [email protected] address, so each service sits behind its own clean, separate identity.
Your details stay private
The services you sign up for only ever see your privnum.com inbox - your personal email address is never part of the exchange.
Read it in one place
Every message lands in your Temp Number dashboard. Nothing to install and no forwarding to wire up - just open and read.
One address, wherever email is asked for
If a box wants an email, your [email protected] address fills it. A few of the ways people put theirs to work:
Signups & trials
Join any site or claim any free trial without surrendering your everyday address - ideal for one-time purchases and newsletters you only need once.
Confirmation codes
Catch verification links and one-time codes the moment they arrive, with your real inbox left entirely out of it.
Protect your identity
Pair the address with a virtual number and keep your personal contact details out of sign-up forms entirely.
A disposable buffer
When an account has served its purpose, retire the address and the junk that came with it disappears too.
Keep lanes separate
Rent a few numbers and run a few inboxes - work, shopping, and personal never have to touch.
Always part of the deal
No upsell and no surprise line item - the inbox ships free with every number you rent.
Up and running in three steps
Rent a number
Choose a country and a length of stay, then bring a virtual number online in a matter of seconds.
Claim your inbox
A matching address is minted for that number automatically - switch it on from your dashboard with a single tap.
Put it to work
Register, confirm, and collect mail across the web while your personal email stays private.
A number and an inbox, working as one
Run a virtual number alongside your [email protected] address and handle every signup, code, and message from one private dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
How does a private email address actually work?
Your [email protected] address is a live inbox tied to a rented number. Anything sent to it shows up in your Temp Number dashboard, while the address you use day to day is never revealed.
Do I get a separate address for each number?
Yes - every number you rent gets its own [email protected] address, so mail for each service stays in its own separate inbox.
Does it cost anything extra?
Not a cent. The inbox is bundled with every rented number, with no add-ons or recurring charges to keep track of.
Can people email me back?
They can. Replies land in your dashboard inbox, and the sender only ever sees the [email protected] address - never anything personal.
What happens once the number expires?
The address lives and dies with its number. When the rental lapses the inbox stops receiving new mail - renew the number to keep the address active.
Will it work for signups and code verification?
Anywhere an email field appears - sign-ups, confirmations, one-time codes and free trials. Combine it with the number for full text-and-email verification.
Where do the messages show up?
Right inside your Temp Number dashboard. There is nothing to download - sign in from any device and the inbox is waiting.
Is there anything I can't use it for?
