Currently, to enter many Internet resources, you need to register using sms messages. How to properly carry out this procedure and not fall for the tricks of scammers?
Necessary
cellular telephone
Instructions
Step 1
Sms registration on numerous portals, forums, blogs and other services and programs is used by developers in order to directly contact the client, as well as to prevent hacks and attacks by spambots on the registration forms of a web resource.
Step 2
In order to register via SMS, you need to send a certain text or phrase from your cell phone to the number indicated on the site (this information is indicated on the site). Then, within a few minutes, you should receive a response message on your mobile, which will indicate your activation code, as well as your username or password to enter the system.
Step 3
The received message can be of several types (instead of asterisks, the required number is indicated in the messages):
- "Your password: *******";
- "Activation code: *******";
- "PIN-code: *******";
- "Vash kod dostupa: *******".
Step 4
After you receive an SMS message on your phone, enter the code or password indicated in it into a special form on the website (or in the program). Sometimes for authorization on a forum, blog or social networks, in addition to a password, you also need to enter a login. In some incoming messages, it is indicated, and in some it is not. If it was not in your sms, then for sure it will be your mobile phone number.
Step 5
Often, many users perceive the registration method using sms messages as fraud and deception associated with extortion of money, as a result of which they prefer not to use this resource.
Step 6
Indeed, almost every Internet user has already "got" money (some of them even more than once). But this again suggests that when filling out registration forms or sending sms messages, as well as when signing documents, you need to be very careful and accurate. Never send messages to long mobile numbers of existing telecom operators. Companies or firms that register with good intentions are asked to send the text to short numbers.
