Most apps only allow one account per phone number. Virtual phone numbers let you create and manage multiple accounts on WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Google, and hundreds of other apps — without needing multiple SIM cards.

Which Apps Support Multiple Accounts with Virtual Numbers?

PingNum supports 300+ apps. The most popular for multiple accounts:

  • 📱 WhatsApp — second personal or business account
  • ✈️ Telegram — separate personal and work accounts
  • 📸 Instagram — manage multiple creator accounts
  • 🔍 Google — separate Google accounts for different purposes
  • 👤 Facebook — business pages or separate personal accounts
  • 🏦 Chime, Venmo, Cash App — US financial app accounts

Why Virtual Numbers Are Better Than Multiple SIMs

  • No hardware needed — no second phone or SIM tray required
  • Any country — get USA, UK, or Canada numbers regardless of where you are
  • Pay per use — only pay when you need a number, from $0.19
  • Instant — number ready in seconds, OTP arrives in under 3 seconds
  • Private — your real number stays hidden from the app

How to Create a Second Account Using PingNum

  1. Choose your app — decide which app you need a second account for
  2. Get a PingNum number — sign up, top up, and select your app + country
  3. Start account creation — open the app and begin sign-up as normal
  4. Enter your PingNum number — use it as the phone number for the new account
  5. Receive and enter OTP — OTP appears on PingNum dashboard in seconds
  6. Account created — your second account is live. The number session can now end.
💡 Tip: For apps like WhatsApp, you can run two accounts simultaneously using WhatsApp's official "Linked Devices" feature or dual-SIM mode on Android — one with your real SIM, one verified with PingNum.

Important Considerations

Always check the terms of service for each platform. PingNum is intended for legitimate use cases such as:

  • Separating personal and business communications
  • Managing social media accounts for clients (social media managers)
  • Developer and QA testing of apps
  • Privacy-conscious users who don't want to share their real number
⚠️ Note: Creating fake accounts to violate platform terms of service is not a supported use case. Use virtual numbers responsibly.

How Much Do Multiple Account Numbers Cost?

Each virtual number session is independent. Prices per session:

  • Telegram: from $0.19
  • WhatsApp: from $0.28
  • Google: from $0.35
  • Instagram/Facebook: from $0.35
  • Chime/Venmo: from $0.45

Frequently Asked Questions
