As we can see, the standard method involves using an email address. An alternative option is to import data from a Google account, Apple ID, Yandex, or Mail.

You don’t necessarily need to use a real phone number. A virtual number can be used instead. Virtual numbers do not require a physical SIM card and allow you to receive SMS codes online.

Why Use a Virtual Number for Kufar Registration?

Here are the main reasons:

1. Privacy
   Protects your personal number from being added to spam databases. Even if there is a data breach on the website, the virtual number is not linked to a specific individual.
2. Managing Multiple Accounts
   You may need more than one account. Registering on Kufar without a real phone number allows you to create additional profiles. This is convenient for separating business activities (e.g., selling different categories of goods). You can create both personal and business accounts.
3. Bypassing Restrictions
   Enables you to post more ads than allowed on a single account.
4. Avoiding Bans
   If your account gets blocked, virtual numbers from SMSBOWER can help you create a new one.

Registering on Kufar without a phone number is also necessary for account boosting or "warming up." You can create as many profiles as needed. In this case, it is advisable to use anonymizer programs to avoid automatic bans from security algorithms.
