Fake Phone Number for Verification

A "fake" number that receives real SMS codes. Use it instead of your own number, for free.

A fake number that receives a real verify code

A made-up number cannot receive anything, so it fails as soon as an app sends a code. The numbers here are real: you enter one in place of your own, and the verification code arrives on this page.

Why people use a fake phone number

To sign up without sharing a personal number, to test their own app or website, to keep spam calls away, or to open a second account. In each case the number only needs to receive one SMS.

Fake number generator or real number?

A fake number generator only prints digits in the right format. That is fine for filling a form that never checks, but it cannot pass SMS verification. For a code, you need a number that is live on a mobile network.

Use it the right way

Use these numbers for sign-ups, trials and testing. Do not use them to pretend to be another person or to break a service's rules, and never for an account that holds money.

Can a fake phone number receive a verification code?

A made-up number cannot. The numbers on this page are real numbers used in place of yours, so they do receive the code.

Choose a country and an app here. You get the number, enter it in the app, and the code shows on this page.

Yes. Free United States numbers are on the home page and the USA page.

Is it legal to use a fake phone number?

Using a temporary number to protect your privacy is legal in most places. Using one for fraud or to harm someone is not.
