I’m in a situation where I need a finnish phone number, but I’m not yet in Finland (will be soon). Are virtual numbers like these ([https://www.ringover.com/virtual-number-finland](https://www.ringover.com/virtual-number-finland)) worth it? Or is it worth getting a normal finnish number instead? Kiitos
EDIT: I understand why so many are assuming I’m a scammer… but I’m moving to Finland soon – my spouse got a job there. The auto-mod on this sub has removed my posts in the past for mentioning the word “moving” and so I tried to avoid it this time. Oh well.
For more info: I’m in a nearby country, and we aren’t going to be physically in Finland for another few weeks, but we were approved for residency. To apply for an apartment, I need to verify my ID, and that usually is through bank accounts. I obviously don’t have a Finnish bank account, because I don’t have the government-issued IDs yet. But there are mobile authentication options, and I was wondering if services like the one above is a viable way to get a phone number quickly while still outside Finland.
Or, should I interpret everyone’s suspicion here as enough of a reason to believe that this isn’t going to work out until I’m physically in Finland? Lol.

Worth what?
This sounds a lot like a scammer who found out that most Finns don’t answer random numbers from other countries.
For what?
For what purpose you need it?
Finland is the birthplace of mobile phone naturalisation.
We don’t do scams here, Sir.
It depends why you need a Finnish phone number..
