Imagine: you finally decided to connect PlayStation Plus to play the latest hits with your friends, save your progress in the cloud and get exclusive discounts. But at the registration stage, Sony asks for a phone number, and your operator is not supported, or you just do not want to reveal your personal data.
Sound familiar?
This situation is a common headache for gamers from countries where PlayStation is not officially represented, or for those who value anonymity. Previously, you had to look for workarounds, risk your account or ask friends. Today, there is a legal and easy way - virtual numbers from GrizzlySMS.
How does it work? We explain it in simple terms
What is GrizzlySMS?
This is a service that provides virtual numbers for receiving SMS from different countries. No contracts with operators, SIM cards or overpayments. You rent a number for a while, get a confirmation code — and that's it.
Why is this for PlayStation Plus?
Sony requires linking a number for two-factor authentication and region verification. If, for example, you have an account in the USA, but you are in another country, the virtual number will become your “digital pass”.
Why is GrizzlySMS a good choice?
- Availability: numbers in 50+ countries, including the USA, Germany, Japan.
- Prices: from $0.20 for rent (cheaper than buying a SIM card).
- Simplicity: no registration required — chose a number, paid, received an SMS.
- Anonymity: do not transfer personal data to Sony or third parties.
Is it safe? Dispelling myths
“Will they ban me?”
Sony does not prohibit the use of virtual numbers - this is a legal tool, like a regular SIM card. The main thing is that the number corresponds to the region of your PSN account. For example, for an American account, take a US number.
“What if the number is already used by someone?”
GrizzlySMS provides “clean” numbers not associated with other users. After renting, they return to the general pool only after 10 days, so there will be no conflicts.
Personal experience:
“I have been using GrizzlySMS for two years for PSN accounts in the US and Japan. Not a single ban or failure. The main thing is not to change the account region after linking the number,” says Alexey, the owner of a Telegram channel about gaming.
Play without borders
Virtual numbers are not “hacks”, but a convenient tool for gamers in a globalized world. With GrizzlySMS, you get access to content that was previously unavailable due to geographic restrictions.
And remember: PlayStation Plus is not just multiplayer. It is monthly free games, exclusive beta tests and cloud saves. Why deny yourself this because of formalities with a number?
P.S. Don't forget to write down the number and login from your GrizzlySMS account - you may need them to restore access. Enjoy the game! 🎮
