Need a fake phone number to get a verify code? It works in three steps: (1) pick any free number below, (2) enter it on the site asking you to verify, (3) come back here and refresh the number's page — your verify code usually arrives within 60 seconds. No app, no SIM, no registration.
Most websites confirm you control a phone number by texting a short one-time code (OTP) and asking you to type it back — a cheap, fast way to cut down on fake accounts. A fake (meaning temporary, not-your-own) number receives that code exactly like a normal phone, so you can complete the verification without exposing your personal number.
These are two different things. The numbers on this page are real virtual numbers that actually receive the SMS code. A fake phone number generator, by contrast, only invents realistic-looking digits for software testing — those cannot receive anything. If you need the code to arrive, use a number from the list above; if you need dummy data for a form or database, use the generator.
Google, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, Amazon and most mainstream apps accept virtual numbers without complaint. WhatsApp, banks and some dating apps actively block them and may reject the code — for those, try several numbers or read our non-VoIP explainer.
Pick any number from the list above. Enter that number wherever the service asks for your phone number. Then click the number on this site and refresh the page — your verify code will appear in the message list, usually within 30–60 seconds.
Yes — the numbers here are real virtual numbers that receive SMS. Enter one on the service you are verifying with and the verify code will appear on the number's page.
Most services work, including Google, Facebook, Telegram and Amazon. WhatsApp and banking apps block many virtual numbers, so try a few different numbers if one is rejected.
No. It works entirely in your browser — pick a number, use it, and read the verify code on this site without installing anything.
Using a temporary number to protect your privacy is generally fine. Do not use it for fraud, to evade bans, or to create fake accounts that break a service's terms.
The number may be blocked by that service or busy. Refresh the page, wait a minute or two, and if nothing arrives try a different number. Some services block virtual/VoIP numbers — if so, there is no workaround on those particular platforms.
