Twitter / X Number - For the Day You Get Locked Out
X asks for a phone number when you sign up, and again on the day it decides to check who you are. A one-time number covers the first of those and is then deleted. A permanent number covers the second, which is the one that matters if the account is not one you would want to lose.

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 Twitter / X
X (formerly Twitter) requires phone verification for new accounts and often asks for it again if login activity looks unusual, making an X virtual number the standard solution for managing more than one account. X SMS verification through a virtual number works exactly like it would with a personal SIM, activating the account immediately once the code is entered. This is common for social media managers running several brand accounts, researchers studying public conversations from a neutral account, and anyone who wants to register X without a phone number tied to their personal identity. A one-time number is fine for a single account; a permanent number is the better fit for an account you plan to post from regularly.
Which country to choose for Twitter / X
X doesn't require the account's country to match the number's country, so for an X virtual number, cost is usually the deciding factor for a single signup - pick whichever is cheapest in the table below. If you manage several accounts at once, it's worth spreading them across different countries rather than registering them all from the same one in a short span, since clusters of similarly-timed signups are more likely to draw automated review. For an account you'll keep long-term, a permanent number in a non-VoIP country holds up better if X ever asks you to re-verify.
