What is Seated?

Seated is a live music notification service. You set up a profile, follow artists you love and Seated will text you directly on your phone number when your followed artists announce shows in your area. Seated doesn't have any mobile apps, so they will send all the alerts directly to your phone number via SMS.

We would advise you to use our long-term rental phone numbers for Seated if you want to keep your privacy and also make sure that you will be still receiving concert notifications. Temporary numbers usually expire after a maximum of 3-5 days and once the phone number leaves our system, Seated will not be able to reach you anymore. A long-term rental will keep your number active for as long as you need it.

Why Does Seated Require Phone Verification?

Seated implemented phone verification as a method of ensuring that its users are genuine. One of the ways in which many fake accounts on the internet are created is through the use of VoIP numbers, also known as Virtual numbers, which are very easy to get at scale. That's why, to keep the artist notification messages going only to the real fans, Seated has decided to block them.

As a result, most free virtual number services will not be effective for Seated verification. For example, Google Voice, and TextNow provide VoIP phone numbers, which are rejected by Seated.

What Phone Numbers Work for Seated?

For Seated SMS verification, you have to use a number from a real mobile carrier. SMSPool offers genuine, non-VoIP long-term rental number in many countries such as the US, USA, and Canada.

Why Not Use Your Personal Number?
