There is a phone-number wall in front of 99app, and this is the way through it. No code, no charge: a number that brings none is never billed. Rent one for the moment you need it: choose where it should come from, type it into 99app, and read the 99app code straight out of your SMS For U account. Behind that sit 1,400 services and numbers bought in markets on four continents.
How you get your code
- Look 99app up in the SMS For U catalogue.
- Take a country from the ones the app is offering for 99app today.
- Confirm the order; the 99app number is live from that second.
- Type it in at the phone-number step during sign-up on 99app and ask to be sent the code.
- The code turns up in your SMS For U account unprompted — copy it into 99app and you are through.
Why a phone number is asked for
99app is a single login with a lot behind it, so the number is how it proves it is you and how you get back in. 99app asks for it on the sign-up form, before the account exists at all. The number goes in at: the phone-number step during sign-up. 99app normally asks for the number once and does not come back to it afterwards.
What the code looks like
99app sends a short numeric code by SMS. The message from 99app arrives in your account unaided — no refreshing, no forwarding, and no second device involved in reading the 99app code. The window 99app allows is short, so do not leave the code sitting in your account. One number can usually serve more than one 99app account, although 99app may limit that.
What can go wrong
99app accepts numbers from many countries but not from all of them. Which countries work for 99app changes over time, because 99app adjusts its checks and because the available ranges of numbers change. That is the honest state of it — we can hand you a number, we cannot make 99app take it. Nothing on this page is a promise that 99app will accept a number, and no success figure is printed here, because any figure would be out of date by the time you read it.

Common questions
How do I get a 99app verification code without my own SIM card?
Open SMS For U, search for 99app and pick a country. You get a real phone number, you enter it at 99app (the phone-number step during sign-up), and the code 99app sends appears in your SMS For U account by itself. No SIM card is involved, and the 99app number is not yours to keep.
How fast does the 99app code arrive?
The 99app code appears in your account within seconds of 99app sending it. How long 99app itself takes is up to 99app and to the country the number comes from, which is why nothing here is worded as a promise.
What happens if no 99app code arrives?
You do not pay for a 99app number that brought no code. Cancel the order in the app and the payment is refunded as soon as the cancellation is confirmed. That is the whole rule, and it is why a failed 99app attempt costs nothing: no code, no charge.
Which countries can I use for 99app?
99app numbers come from the 50 markets listed on this page. Which of them can be picked for 99app at this moment is on the country screen in the app: that list moves through the day, and a page in a search index cannot keep up with it.
Can I use the same number for 99app again later?
A used 99app number is not reserved for you indefinitely. 99app normally does not come back to it after sign-up, but if you need lasting access to the 99app account, use a number of your own.
