Twitch Number - Watching Is One Code, Streaming Is Not
Which number you want depends on what you do on Twitch. Watching and chatting needs the phone step once, and a one-time number covers exactly that - one code, then it is deleted. If you plan to stream, the account is one you will keep and sign back into from new machines, and a permanent number is the fit.

Codes go where you are
Every incoming SMS to a permanent number is forwarded automatically to the destination you choose. A one-time number shows its code in your dashboard instead.
Call forwarding is a different number type: a voice number takes incoming calls and passes them to the destination you choose. Voice numbers in the dashboard
Why use a virtual number for Twitch
Registering for Twitch usually requires phone verification, and a virtual number lets you complete Twitch SMS verification without using your personal phone number - useful if you manage more than one account, want to keep your real number private, or simply want to register Twitch without a phone number tied to your everyday identity. The code arrives in your dashboard the same way it would on a physical SIM, so signup for Twitch works exactly the way it normally expects, with no extra steps on your end. A one-time number is enough for a single registration; a permanent number is the better choice if you plan to keep using the Twitch account and might need to verify it again later, since Twitch can sometimes re-check an account after it has been active for a while.
Which country to choose for Twitch
When choosing a country for Twitch, price is usually the main factor for a single signup - any supported country in the table below will complete Twitch SMS verification the same way, since the code is delivered identically regardless of which country the number belongs to. If you plan to keep the account active long-term rather than register Twitch without a phone number just once, a permanent number is worth choosing, and a country with a real non-VoIP option tends to hold up better if Twitch ever asks for extra verification later. Registering several accounts from different countries also lowers the chance they get flagged as connected to one another by Twitch.
