I have bought a virtual number but the system writes «the phone number has already been taken» or «the account is
locked»
Some of the mobile providers reissue the number that was taken before. This is a rather common procedure, and none of SMS receiving services are fully insured. To check such a one-time phone number is technically impossible until receiving a passcode.
Although, there are many reasons why your account may be locked, starting from the registration of multiple phone numbers from the same device and ending with blocking a number. To learn more about this you can click here.
