Buy a French virtual number: the essentials
A France virtual number is a +33 mobile for services that verify by SMS: WhatsApp, PayPal, Google, French marketplaces and classifieds. A virtual French phone number is issued to your dashboard, the code lands there, and the account is registered from any country. Buyers take it for a French audience, for EU accounts opened for France and for services that check the phone region.
The formats follow the usual rule. A one-time +33 code covers a single sign-up; a permanent French number is a mobile line on a physical SIM for accounts that will be re-checked and for a shop profile French customers will message. Stock and prices for both formats are live in the passport above.
French numbers in practice
That is the standard BasolinoVoIP is built on: live stock, a real price, a person to write to. French classifieds and marketplaces re-check the phone at login and on suspicious activity, so accounts that earn money belong on a permanent +33 line. A one-time code handles a messenger sign-up or a platform test.
Sellers outside France take a French number to look local to buyers in Paris or Lyon; a +33 line on a business profile reads as a company with a French address. Nearby in the catalog: Spanish numbers.

Questions about French numbers
What does in stock mean for French numbers?
That numbers of France are currently receiving codes. If delivery degrades, the country drops from the catalog instead of collecting complaints.
One-time or permanent: which format for a French number?
One-time for a single sign-up code, permanent for an account that will be re-checked. The passport above shows which formats France has in stock right now.
Can I run a second account on a French number?
Yes. Register the second account on the +33 line, apart from your personal SIM; each account gets its own number from the dashboard.
Will a business profile accept a +33 number?
Yes. A business profile verifies the same way as a personal one; take the permanent format so re-verifications keep passing for years.
Can I move an existing account to a French number?
Yes. Change the phone in the account settings of the service to the new +33 number, confirm the code from the dashboard, and the account keeps working.
Can contacts tell that my French number is virtual?
No. It looks like any other +33 mobile number in their contact list, and apps do not label numbers by origin.
Does the +33 dial code matter for the services I use?
For messengers and social apps, no. For payment services and exchanges, yes: they expect the phone of the account region. The service pages say which case is which.
Does a +33 number receive codes from any service?
Yes. The line receives SMS from any sender: messengers, marketplaces, payment services. Keep one line per account; the code lands in your dashboard within minutes.
Is a +33 number starting with 6 or 7 a mobile?
Yes. French mobiles start with 6 or 7 after the country code, and services recognise them as mobile numbers.
Will French marketplaces accept a virtual number?
Those that verify by SMS do: the code arrives in your dashboard. Keep the account on a permanent line, because they re-check the phone.
Is a French number in stock right now?
The passport at the top is the live status; when a format shows in stock, issue is automatic after payment.
Can I use a +33 number from outside France?
Yes. The number lives online; you register and read codes from anywhere.
